Jadas Cloth journey

[Jada]

I like the cloth simulation, but I have a lot to learn…

These are my first trys.

The checker texture causes texture problems…

/////////

The solution was: one noodle in the shader editor was broken.

////////////////////////////

Variations:

/////////////

I found it very difficult to add 2 cloths above each other. The top one causes a lot of mistakes…

One solution to fix the problems was to increase the thickness outer of the underlying cube.

Unfortunately the texture doesn´t look perfect, but is a compromise.

Experimenting with stripes with shader and texture and not some stripe image.

Duplicated the first node tree and rotated it.

a little bit proud.

Experimenting with a node tree.

Those are stripes 2

Those are stripes 1

That is the node tree. With the mix node fac before the material output I can mix them to a complexer pattern:

I love this technique, it is so creative.

it needs a lot of subsurf 5, 5

playing with both stripe node sets… I like the result very much.

I like this study. It’s inspires me!
I’m thinking about a washing line with clothing.
As part of my water well.

[Jada]

Thanks, FedPete. And your project idea is really exciting!

[Capricas_Kirito]

Very inspiring @Jada, this just might be my next study after finishing the Enterprise

[capa14]

You mean Star Trek’s Enterprise?

Wow, you have to show your progress on this dude!

Are you making the interior too or just the ship itself?

[Jada]

I am very interested in your cloth studies!!

These are amazing Jada!

Now, you know that you can use this for everything, right?
Like make them grayscale and control roughness or make them a height and plug to a bump node, for example.

You could easily change from cloth to wood or water or whatever…

[Jada]

Thank you for your encouraging comment!

Oh, I would really love to make some other textures, like wood and water…and combine all the interesting ones in a complex composition… At the moment I experiment with cloth to gain some experience…

[capa14]

Jada! Look at this!

Inpired by your posts I was trying some random stuff when this happened!

Using JUST ONE Magic Texture lol! (and some ramps…)
Mixed a Transparent shader

EDIT:
And then I had another idea! Adding some pattern as holes to the original material.

[Jada]

That´s looks sooo great, absolutely amazing, Capa!! Such an inspiration!!Thanks for sharing.

[Jada]

I have tried to work with your setup, Capa. But unfortunately there is a mistake, that I couldn´t find and fix… The transparent effect istn´t there…

I really love your technique and it would be great when I could fix the texture problems.

I have added a wireframe modifier and it looks like real cloth…

[capa14]

Ah if you are rendering with Eevee you need to go to the Material properties and change the Blend Mode

[capa14]

I have added a wireframe modifier and it looks like real cloth…

Wut!? How many faces your cloth has?

it would be great when I could fix the texture problems.

Talking about fixing texture, if you have the default unwrap of the sphere you can scale the UV on the X Axis to make the pattern square like the Plane.

[Jada]

Thanks for your help and the good information about the Blender Mode.

Oh, I have made a silly mistake and I have forgotten to unwrap the sphere…

You asked for the cloth:

The first subsurf is applied, but there is another one - unapplied - in the modifier stack:

Hope, this is helpful.

/////////////////

I have tried to fix the problems and now it looks so:

The material looks transparent, that ´s great, but it hasn´t any thickness more… I don´t know, why it is vanished…

//////////

interesting star-effect:

//////

another experiment:

I think texturing is to difficult and I give it up for today…

This is my last try. I like the result nevertheless.

@ Capa:

Your Mapping settings are on the second view a little bit different then mine. When I look at the Scale: you have a divide sign before the numbers…

How did you made this?

In comparison mine:

[Miss_B]

WOW, you figured out how to make lace materials. Nicely done!!

[Jada]

Thank you, Miss_B. It was Capa´s idea and I have loved his inspiration and tried to repeat his node tree… But I have ended with something different, what I also like…

[capa14]

Your Mapping settings are on the second view a little bit different then mine. When I look at the Scale: you have a divide sign before the numbers…

Well… maybe it’s just a bug from resizing the node? I was not aware of that…
Probably something else is wrong there.
Maybe you linked the wrong Mix Shader node to the output.

Notice that in my post I start with one but then I added another which I marked with a red line
