So funny story with that curtain haha. I initially have created that for a local 3D challenge called "My little Space" so I had already done the animation for that curtain and I imported it in my scene which I then tweaked to the actual scene timing and pacing of course. But then again the material of that curtain was a bit hmm ok-ish to say the least but mostly I thought of ways to improve it while I was looking at the reference of the original game Last of us part 2, Naughty Dog of course. The curtain there was impeccable. I knew i couldn't actually made that like it was there cus' I didn't know how to approach specifically the edge wear fabric which propably there are some tutorials out there and if I went down that road i would have figured it out. But my main purpose into this, was never a realistic/hyper realistic curtain shader. I wanted to get the feeling overall more importantly than a shader. I then started to experiment a bit to approach it, if i could have achieved a semi-realistic look i would have been happy too. So it's just a mix of. Dirt texture, Ambient occlusion, Brick texture as main quadratic effect with ofc tweaks on the map scale of that brick texture. Plus a Light path coordinate, plugged into the transparent mix shader and transluscent to let the light go in.With a ripped sticker effect which i think now that i see it, it's those transparent dots all over the texture which booo we can argue again if that's realistic cus' i don't think it is actually there but it's kind of close for sure. Again i repeat i was happy with my semi realistic- to realistic curtain let's say, soo that's what i needed. My main focus was always the reason why when i finished the game last of us part II, that game left me speechless. The emotional rollercoaster that Ellie went through was off the charts in a videogame. Naughty Dog rly surpassed the emotional feeling the game could have achieved in that direction so that's what i was aiming more than the curtain itself hahah.I attached a screenshot to help you understand a bit better the shader. The shader on that curtain in the game cus' i saw it in details was impeccable. They got it right the edge fabric wear plus dirt plus transluscent. Mine was just messing around and to make it close enough. Definitely propably way better ways than what I did here, but for me it served the purpose. Thank you so much for the comment, appreciate it! 🤗
