FlyKnit material

[Spvy17]

Hi everyone

I'm currently modeling a sneakers and I wanted to render a flyknit/fabric material with pattern variations (like the picture attached bellow). The solution I tried is to unwrap my upper shape, draw a bump map on it and then apply this new custom material as uv map. But I have issues to unwrap a flexible shape, way more difficult than a simple geometric shape.

Maybe some of you guys used to have the same issue and can help me !

Thank you

Blender tutorials my friend! I find that Blender does a good job at UV unwrapping and Andrew Price makes some excellent videos on how to do it. Blender is free too so no reason not to try it!
