Making Custom Procedural Textures?

[monksalve]

Hi Chaos,

I'm wondering if there is a way to make our own procedural textures or if there is a program that you would recommended for making procedural textures.

I'm looking to make some slight variations on the V-ray Rhino Cloth Procedural. I'd like the strands to bulge towards the apex, example attached.

I could do this in illustrator and just go back and forth but got to thinking, is there a way to add new procedurals to the existing v-ray stock? I tried looking into Filter Forge and Blender but not sure they are the answer.

You can make with OSL.

Ah. That looks like what I'm looking for but doesn't seem like V-Ray for Rhino supports OSL :P. Guess I could try and find another app to make them through OSL and then import.
