Bathroom Towel

[reptar]

Any ideas or recommendation on creating a bathroom towel? I'm guessing a slight displacement is required to achieve the look?

 

Please see attached image for example.

 

Thanks!

Yeah I would say a cloth simulation and a disp map.

If u want to model it, James is right. Spline+garment maker modifier+cloth modifier and diplacement is the way to go. But if you want to save some time, buy a ready-to-go one from evermotion. It's fun to model it though.

Thanks for your comments. Yeah i decided to model it myself.

 

Found a very interesting tutorial for it here:

Here's my test render. What do you think?

It looks good but it kind feels a little "rigid" to me. Try playing with the parameters for the cloth modifier. Try some of the presets, they give a good starting point. It's definitely half way there. Good luck

Agreed. I ran some more simulations using the rubber preset which seems to put more weight into the towel and allow it to deform more accurately.

Looks great!

It looks good. Now you need a good fabric texture. You can also start playing with the hair and fur modifier to get texture and dynamics on the fly! Looks good though. Good luck.
