Rendering Beaver Felt

neidan · June 15, 2016, 05:22:12 AM

Hi there, iv been trying to render beaver felt material (like cowboy hats ) fora product for a while but can't seem to find the right texture
does anybody have an idea or a lead to a texture or a way to go about it?

here are some examples:

Here's my shot at it. The hat model is one I did a while back, originally designed as a jewelry pendant, hence the overly thick brim

. I scaled it up so that the inner circumference is approximately 22.5 inches, which is the real-world scale of a men's medium hat size. Render and Material Graph network below. Best viewed full screen at full resolution in a separate tab.

btw, any chance to upload the material file here or to the keyshot cloud? i'm not sure if i can tackle the whole material graph thing

Would love to reverse engineer that material graph as well.

For those who asked...here ya go

I've put together a .ksp file with this same material on the KeyShot material ball, and have also included a second, slightly different revision of the original.

Cheers,
Eric
