MAKING A FABRIC IN VERY CLOSE UP

(1/2) > >>

Msee_Studio:

Nothing exceptionally new, there have already been tutorials on the subject for a long time, but they do not allow you to get very close-up. I grant you, we rarely need to do that, but I still had this type of request.

Through the tutorials that I have had the opportunity to see, small details are often missing in the explanations, so we do not always obtain the expected result and this is what motivated my sharing of experience.
 
Here the result is obtained on the one hand thanks to Tyflow for the production of the threads and on the other hand corona pattern for the production of the fabric.
Basically the job is to make a piece of fabric as cleanly as possible to reproduce it with corona pattern.


STEP 01
For this you already need the basis of the design of the fabric weft that you want to make. In my case it was this very classic drawing:

There are free patterns to download as on the CGMOOD site with the free patterns of Matej Ovenek : https://cgmood.com/material/3d-fabric-patterns
They are without edge (seamless) and therefore very good for quickly making fabrics, however you will not be able to do macro on the fabric with these patterns.





STEP 02
You must use TyFlow to model the thread on this weaving frame in order to obtain something like this:


To achieve this, there is a very good tutorial produced by RedefineFX called: « tyFlow & tySplines Particle Paths Beginner 3Ds Max Tutorial »

The first trick for this step is to understand that you should not try to achieve the perfect density of threads all at once. But rather in two passes, a dense one with threads of a thick diameter, tight, ordered around the path and a pass with fewer threads, finer and less ordered around the path, like this:



STEP 03 :
This step which only concerns slice and symmetry is probably the most important step, so that the repetition of the pattern is invisible.
The second tricks for preparing a seamless pattern is the slice and the symmetry of the threads generated by Tyflow:


do not make the same cuts and symmetry on the threads passes to hide the seam for the pattern.

You should get something like this

And if we look more closely at my axes of symmetry we find





STEP 04 :

Prepare a final pattern with tyflow or by modeling it directly with splines to create very fine random threads (like fibers) which will give a fluffy appearance to your fabric.
Which might look something like this.





STEP 05 :
This last step consists of using the corona pattern on a plane to apply our weaving pattern and the fiber pattern on a copy of our plane.
And you should get something like this

Great work! Would love a chance to replicate this one day

Msee_Studio:
Thanks

romullus:
I think we'd better move the topic to the tutorials board. Nice result, but i'd like to see it with some custom colour pattern too.

Msee_Studio:
I'm not sure to understand your suggestion: " i'd like to see it with some custom colour pattern too "
brown is a color in itself, you can choose the color you want to apply on pattern.
