How to do a chains curtain

[victorgalan]

Hi! I tryed to do a chain curtain with Vray displacement Mod and some texturing but the result is not as good as you can see in the reference image and the render time is increasing drastically. Any ideas?

 

I attached the displacement map also.

Perhaps try forestpack or railclone?

I'm guessing your render is chain curtain.jpg and the reference image is 9142.jpg---

 

Your existing method is fine but the material needs work - to make it convincing, you need to introduce variation among the strands and also vertically to mimic the effect of light on rotated elements.

Make one chain, apply awesome metal material, proxy, array. It will render faster than using a opacity map and displacement, which probably crawls.
