Carbon Fiber (2x2)

Last crawled date: 7 years ago

Carbon fiber material featuring a 2x2 weave.I wanted a carbon fiber material for a project I'm working on but didn't want to go through using a huge mess of nodes. I ended up modelling the fiber in Blender and baking it to a normal map that I could then use to get the desired effect. In the file there are 3 different materials that are almost identical except for using slightly different normal maps.Due to the node setup I'm using,your mesh must be UV-Unwrapped in order for it to work. Because of this, the material doesn't really work with curves but you can get around this by using a cylinder mesh along with a curve modifier. I have included an example of this in the file.Finally, because the glossy highlights aren't baked in as a texture, it may look better or worse depending on how it's being lit.Thanks to theb°wide NodePack(public domain) for the vector scaling method. Also for inspiring me to try creating my own material and to release it as public domain as well.Latest Change on 2014/04/29, 14:09:01Added thanks for b
