They all use Maya's procedural cloth node, a ramp shader for the Fresnel effect and a mia_material_x shader. The camera has a mia_exposure_simple lens shader and colors have a gamma node to stay in a linear color space.

Update coming soon. I'm updating the shaders based on some excellent advice on this blog. She is using a sampler info node to simulate a Fresnel effect, where I tend to use a rampShader. I like her method better than mine since it gives control in one location.

New shaders have been uploaded. The denim is WIP and will be updated when I have some extra time.
Gunna give these a try. I have been looking on how to create a cloth fabric type curtain. I hope these help.
ReplyDeleteOk, nevermind. The link is invalid. Any chance you can re-upload them?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads-up. I will have updated shaders very soon.
DeleteSweet, you re-uploaded them. Now I will givem a shot.
ReplyDeleteThank you
Maya file seems to be empty?
ReplyDeleteThe file contains shaders and textures only. "Window -> Rendering Editors -> Hypershade -> Materials Tab" will show the shaders.
DeleteHow do I use the file? :)
ReplyDeletei use it with my sofa model. what i did is select my object and apply one of your mia material x and the result is

but i really want to make it like above pictures.
any advice
The result is what I would expect if you applied the shader without adjustments. From the image it looks like the bump is too high and/or your aa sampling is too low.
DeleteOne thing that I do is gather reference for similar materials or objects. Then I try to replicate a material.
thanks for the quick reply and i made this for mini challenge for http://www.3dsquirrel.co.uk/forums/forum/35-challenge-iv/ and people really like the model specially your material.
ReplyDeletehere is the time lapse video i made and i also mention your awesome material.
thanks again.

Hey! awesome material! I would love to learn how this was done and understand why is everything working the way it does (I am a student, I am having some trouble understanding why did you used the gamma correction nodes and the bumps), would you mind doing a tutorial?
ReplyDeleteThank again!
Someday I'll do a tutorial.... maybe....
DeleteFor now, take a look at this blog for some discussion on how a cloth shader is made:

This blog discusses gamma nodes and a linear color workflow:

Thank you for the shaders!
ReplyDeleteHow would you apply a texture as the diffuse? For example, I'm making a Hawaiian shirt and would like to add the floral pattern as the main diffuse.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Ben
Multiply the new pattern and the diffuse:
Delete- Take the diffuse cloth texture and make it white.
- Paint your Hawaiian pattern as a separate file ( jpg, tif or exr ).
- Make a file node and load your new Hawaiian pattern.
- Drag and drop the Hawaiian pattern onto the Color Gain of the diffuse cloth texture.
Awesome, thanks for the quick reply Todd I'll give it a whirl tomorrow :) love these shaders by the way

DeleteHave I done this correctly? It appears a little dark on shader. Also on the render too.

Can you re-post the link? I'm getting an error.
DeleteSorry, I've added it in two places now.

Thank you
You've double gamma'd your textures. You only need a single gamma node at the end of your texture stack. Just take the output from "file1" and connect that to the Color Gain of "cotton_diff_col_ramp".
DeleteAhh what a foolWhen I don't forget to gamma I double gamma!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your help Todd, much appreciated.
Keep up the good work :)
Hi, I am being a complete idiot and am really confused as to how to use these shaders. I have applied the textures but they dont look right. I am pretty inexperienced in this area and can't find much help on it. I would appreciate it if you could help me, thanks :)
ReplyDeleteIf you pm me/post a scene file or images, I will take a look.
