that's brutal :- ) Care you show more of it ?

I do a lot of felt fabrics of furniture maker but with approach that does not look best at close-up. This looks marvellous.

My guess would be "simply" hair geometry scattered over the surface but I am also curious about any tricks used.

Thanks guys, not so much tricks here :] First i searched for a felt texture, found a really good one at wildtextures. Then fed this texture to Knald and made normal map from it. Also made height and AO textures as well. CrazyBump, NDO, B2M or other similar program can be used here. Even Photoshop. Material itself is very simple and it looks pretty good, especially at front facing angles. At glancing angles it's very flat and CGish though. Displacement can help a great deal here, but still not very convincing, especially in close ups. So i swapped displacement with simple spline modeled fibres, scattered all over model with CoronaScatter and view instantly became much more realistic. Fibres material is extremely simple - CoronaMultiMap in instances mode in diffuse map and transluceny from 0,3 to 0,8 depending on what look you want to achieve. Less translucency shows fibres colour better, more translucency helps to better blend in fibres with felt material and looks very nice in contrary light. As an added benefit, fibres can help to mask shadow terminator problem, from which this material suffers quite badly, due to fine and strong normal map. Additionally i added falloff map to scatter's density slot, to steer more fibres in areas where they needed most. Unfortunatelly CoronaScatter refuses to respect color map curve adjustments, so it's hard to fine tune distributin. AO doesn't work here too, in case someone wants to try it :]

I wonder if flat "sprites" with opacity-mapped fiber textures would work here. :)

I can't see why it wouldn't. If you don't affraid opacity OFC :] Hair&Fur could do a trick as well.

Rerendered my ants anmation with adaptivity and denoise. Not only the picture became much cleaner, but aslo it saved  about 30% of render time. Although i'm fairly confident that i could try to reduce render time even further if needed. Must say, i'm impressed. Even more than i thought i would be :]

Can You provide some more tests on denoising/adaptivity? Some "real-world" scenarios ie. exterior shot with foliage and dof, interior shot with complicated GI and reflective materials...

I will do... probably. But i think build with adaptivity should go public very soon, so everyone can do tests by themselves.

Meanwhile i did some more comparison shots of my little fellows, because i find that particular scene benefits from adaptivity very much. Without DOF and MB this scene samples very fast, but as soon as those effects kicks in, some areas requires very high amount of samples, for noise to be at acceptable level. And adaptivity fights that problem very efficiently. This is by no mean a scientific test, i just fired a render, waited for noisiest part of an image to became acceptably clean and stopped rendering. Settings were such: GIvsAA - 4, LSM - 2, adaptivity - 0, denoising - 1.

There are couple of strange things going on. Maybe it is because the number of pses is very different? Could you make one more test with same amount of pases lets say 20-40?

It wouldn't be very fair comparison, because with adaptivity you cannot to directly compare passes with passes anymore.
