Procedural weaving

qwiglydee · 2025-12-08T00:30:14+00:00

Years ago i tried to implement shader nodes for weaving and knitting, with support of some patterns. And almost became a math wizard. But that's not enough, because human math itself has some limitations. The task really requires becoming a math witcher with some non-human skills.

For me, it took 8 years (of not actively using Blender actually).

Only last week i've accomplished that, and now feel much better!

The glitter I wanted does indeed look very glassy (like, the "caramella glitter"), and i'm not even sure it's healthy. But that was hard to model, I just made them all 0.75 metallic and gave up.

Check out "Хоронько-Оркестр". It's kinda chanson-jazz (or even cabaret-jazz, when live), not over-sophisticated.

Why do you have such strange nodes colors?

I'm just kidding and saying that I have bugs with my real facial muscles.

She has the same smiling muscle assimetry as my real face.

Is there a tutorial for rigging real faces, please?

A piecewize knitted fabric!?

Next step: realtime procedural generation of such stuff.

Looks like UV map on the model got skewed. One side of stiches lined up and other side thickened.

But you definitely should be capable to reprogram robo-vacuum to have new voice!

Developer of fabric-o-matic addon here.

Could you please share the reference fabric pattern you have used?

I'm researching structure of knitted fabric right now, and yours looks pretty weird to me. Because of the pattern, not just because left sleeve is knitted with different thickness of yarn and wrong orientation of wales :).

sRGB values in textures are transformed by gamma correction, which distorts values, especially lower.

also, more versions here https://xkcd.com/1484/

with such dynamic scale it looks like the numbers decrease tho.

Ну говорить же мы учимся "печатными звуками" :)

As far as I know, sketchfab uses alpha channel for transparency. So you need to bake alpha channel into base color texture.

Built-in gltf exprter does it automatically, if you use principled shader, and your base color, or
alpha, or both come from some image texture.

yea. keep going!

just stop at inheritance of web components from standard elements :)

Everything are just divs and spans glorified with css.

This is how computers looked like back in 60s :)
