Hi

I'd like to make a thin translucent curtain fabric that lets the sunlight partially through.

Any ideas as to how to make such an MXM?

TIA

Hey,

mmm....Most of the cloth or curtain materials Ive seen dont seem to let the sun through! I Don't think it can!

Have a look at this some test done but this was with V1.0

Here is a curtain material Kurt did.

I think this material I upoaded would do the trick. You'd have to change the relectance channel to have the color/print that you want on the curtains, but it should let light shine through. Just use this as a template of how to achieve translucent fabric.

there are several materials in the MXM gallery that does the trick. I did these testrenderings a while ago:
