velvet carpet

[ABK]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm attempting to create a velvet carpet similar to the one in this image:

I'm using 3DS Max with vray.

Any tips or hints from anyone?

I would do a composite texture for the diffuse map that would consist of a layer of noise, a layer of speckle and a layer of custom "vacuum pattern" painted in Photoshop. I'd probably blend them in multiply mode. And then make a bump map that's a blend of the speckle and noise...

You could also use a Mix map in the diffuse slot, mixing the two different shades of red (or whatever color you want) using a grayscale map in the Mix Amount slot. Works really smooth and is pretty easy to tweek.
