Try a textured plastic with blury reflection at 0.8 and fresnel white color changed at 100 + bump.

well after some tryouts i managed to do some materials
but what i really want is to fake the quilted pattern on the leather couch
what i mean is the buttoned part on leather via bumps
can i do that engravings via bump

help on leather couch material and modelling

Well, you could model the buttons.

help on leather couch material and modelling

it is not about the buttons
buttons make the surface wavy quilted or whatever it is called

Model a plane surface with this surface effect → set camera direct to the surface → create z-buffer image from it (with Vray or Rhino _TestShowZbuffer command) → use this for bump mapping → if it works, than share the bump file :wink:

The V-Ray for Rhino 3 book has a nice leather material - but its just a leather texture that you could probably get from any good texture site. I believe there is a thread somewhere around here with good textures. I’ll edit this post with the link when I find it.

Joeb, any words on the book yet?

The V-Ray for Rhino 3 book I’m referring to is currently only in Chinese - we’re still translating it. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to distribute the textures he’s using for the leather - thats why I just suggested looking at some common texture sites for a leather texture.

help on leather couch material and modelling

what i mean was type of displacement on the leather
like a hill where the buttons are the leather are goes in
not i need the leather file for bump i already have that
by the way if you distribute the book and cd good i might buy it too
