      Mike, what render app are you using?

      If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

          Hi Mike,

          It all depends on the render engine. If you want the "real" thing you'll have to use displacement. ( Indigo, Thea , Maxwell, Fryrender, Cinema 4D . if using a render app that doesn't have displacement options, I would go with normals in kerkythea combined with a bump.

          in the att. render I used a displacement map made with pixplant 2. Render made with Indigo. I was pretty pleased with the result on the towel. Nevermind the scenery and the design. Not my best work 😳

            In Kerkythea you could try instancing brush, but I think displacement is better for a towel. Normal or bump map will work, if you don't go too close.

              for towels I've found this model at the warehouse:

              Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

              favicon

              (sketchup.google.com)

              then I retextured it with that texture:

              I've made a bumpmap and applied it.

              then I've got that result with twilightrender. Looks quite OK, I think...

                favicon

                (sketchup.google.com)

                textured with the same texture it looks like this:

                  I'd be interested in this too, what would an experienced sketchup user do/what would a good approach be if he wanted to model a detailed bathrobe that was hanging from a hook?
