Hey guys. Well I am working on this model and the fabric Needs to have a pattern on it. I have attached the Pattern on for you to take a look at. Now my thought is, would it be possible to create this with one smart material, or should I just create the pattern in the Colour ID map? If it is possible how would I go about…
Just got back to reality, I have been on holiday for a little! on other news I didn't get the job :/ but this is some of the renders I sent in using the custom materials I created!!
Thanks Eric, it means a lot! I have since changed the UV's on the arms of the chair so that the pattern aligns properly. I thought I would do a little write up in case anyone else wanted to create a patterned material. :D
So this is my final pass on the texturing, before the UV edits to clean areas up. To make the texture, I used the reference photos to make a flat material. To do this I used my SLR camera to take the references I needed, then identified the best brown patch (least shadows, flattest angle), edited the levels to get the best…
You'd have to import the texture and its associated PBR textures as a custom material, then create a smart material preset from the final look you want. I don't see why you couldn't pull it off in a single smart material unless you needed to mask out every color because the differently colored fibers are drastically…
