Oh wow, that last one is truly killer. What are the render times? Can one use textures in the diffuse channel?

Thanks a lot, sometimes coded shaders look great when they are drafts and lose their edge when formalized; I nearly lost this one in the process of changing the threads shape.

It should be possible to add a texture slot for threads colour, I'm considering the option since I teased you with car seats ^^ yes I want to make it happen.

Thank YOU, now I feel useful :)

I like it in this material that one can pick odious colour and have it look alright with the relevant Balance setting :lol: It ranges between satin and velvet looks approximately.

Questions/requests welcome... to discussion 8)

I think that while using a black substrate for the preview is dramatizing the effect, pure black should not be used in production (unless if you are tring to do a "Carbon Nanotubes Used To Create Darkest Black In The World" material - youtube).

My mistake !

In general, seek the shortest hair length possible that does the trick for you.

It's still a shading hack requiring some taming. Longer hairs will stress more on geometry normals.

hmmmm.... looks so tasty in the preview, but I don't buy the renders... reminds me of roger rabbit in its cartoonish style- no offence CTZn :lol:
I love your materials, and had a long relationship with the "old" shader going on, not too sure about the new one.. perhaps it's just the color. I'll have to test it myself!

No offense taken Polinalkrimizei; sometimes the magic gets lost in the process, I can feel that then going further is a struggle :/ Also this is not really a detailed shader, but I need to release something or I'll keep cutting hairs in four !

Thanks contegufo by the way, you got it right !

Zalevskiy, of course your settings are perfect for the sketchy look you achieved, I was fooled by the coloured floor sorry.
