Hi all,
Just ran into an odd need, a pillow with fringe.
im not really sure how to go about making fringe on a pillow.
the only idea i had was add a plane to a pillow that would disect it and that plane would have a texture at 0, 90, 180, 270.
Anyone with a better idea, or made one in the past?
Here is the pillow with fringe that i have to replicate.
Thanks
Dan

Displacement might work?! or blender hair particles using weight painting? its a tricky one! Good luck

Once your at that stage you could use a texture map for the fringe and clipmap it
mmm...might look abit flat!

Uh, good luck. Why not model every fiber?

Isn't that some sorta long strands of thread or something like that, if so then use a hair/fur plugin or feature of your 3d modeling app and let it do the job for you, it should work beautifully for such a model. Clipmapping, displacement or any similar method might end up looking cheap and poor.
Atleast this is how i would approach such a problem..

very inspiring Bubbaloo..... I had to give it a go
was pumping cad all week long, so i was up for a little organic modelling...
this took about 20min, all done within Rhino, using array along curve, a random deselection script (free), box edit plugin and curve piping plugIn (both free) and a some cage editing.
with a little more time & love to details, the result could be decent...

Not bad! I should be more careful with my "advice".

Not bad at all polynurb considering the time it took!

Yes, I guess it's doable... if a bit of time is invested in the settings and options it could come quite close, I'd guess.
Btw: this is c4d's hair module. Quite standard without too much indivdual efforts from my side.

Thanks a lot guy's for the advice if i have a chance i'll make a go of it, but at this point they might just use a studio shot.
