I’m new to Blender. This is my first post, so if I’m posting in wrong area please forgive and redirect.
I’ll also say in advance that I’m new to 3d programs like this. Prior to blender my experience has been with AutoCAD… Can’t express how much I enjoy Blender!
I’m trying to create a material on these pieces that will appear like cloth. Something with a course weave similar to a thick cheesecloth.
I need these to be luminous and take on the color of the light within the set piece. I’d also like the light emitted from these to have a small effect on the surrounding objects.
Any suggestions or critiques would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve attached a blend file with a couple of the set pieces, the stage, and the lighting.
These pieces consist of a single scenic flat mounted to a stick of truss and then wrapped in cloth (spandex or leno). A lighting fixture is mounted at the base inside the truss. When lit the cloth takes on the color of the light and the truss can be seen to some degree thru the cloth.
I’m having difficulty making the cloth material look like cloth. And I’m also stumped as to how to make the fabric absorb and transmit the color and intensity of the light within.
