How can I create this material?

[Peeter]

Hi guys! I'm currently working on a project in which we will use a black carpet floor like the attached one. Anyone know how to achieve something similar?

Thanks in advance!

You may use these advices. https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,11766.0.html

Thats almost the same material, only blending map might be more blurry.

I still haven't managed to re-create a good looking material like this. This drives me crazy, I even have a small bag made of such material on my desk right now, trying to figure out how to make it. :D
It looks like the effect is caused by the tiny hair which make up the surface. They are bent in different directions, so the reflectivity is dependent on viewing direction. I was thinking of masking anisotropy, or anisotropy rotation, but never succeeded in this.

In all honesty, in this particular case (in reference above) a simple good diffuse map (procedural or texture, whatever suits you), bump, and broad (0 glossy) specular, would give a perfect illusion.

Unless it is to be animated. :)

No, because such dense structure of carpet wouldn't really vary speculars unless looked up very up-close. It's also flat. No issue with animation.

Hi,

I've found this tutorials which might bring a solution:

If you scroll down there's an explanation on how to do the dark rug material.
