I have a hiking boot model with realistic leather texture applied on it. I want to make the laces realistic too, since this is a hiking boot, I want the laces to resemble a braided nylon fabric. But I cannot find a good shader for it, so I want help to recreate it.
I want it to resemble these reference images, i want it to at least look like something you’d see on a real hiking boot.
By the way, I’d prefer if the details were done via shader nodes rather than physically modelling it. Also I am using 4.1 Blender
