Hi guys! I’m currently working on a project in which we will use a black carpet floor like the attached one. Anyone know how to achieve something similar?
Thanks in advance!

Thats almost the same material, only blending map might be more blurry.
I still haven’t managed to re-create a good looking material like this. This drives me crazy, I even have a small bag made of such material on my desk right now, trying to figure out how to make it. 
It looks like the effect is caused by the tiny hair which make up the surface. They are bent in different directions, so the reflectivity is dependent on viewing direction. I was thinking of masking anisotropy, or anisotropy rotation, but never succeeded in this.
In all honesty, in this particular case (in reference above) a simple good diffuse map (procedural or texture, whatever suits you), bump, and broad (0 glossy) specular, would give a perfect illusion.
Unless it is to be animated.
No, because such dense structure of carpet wouldn’t really vary speculars unless looked up very up-close. It’s also flat. No issue with animation.
Hi,
I’ve found this tutorials which might bring a solution:

If you scroll down there’s an explanation on how to do the dark rug material.
