Hi all,
Just ran into an odd need, a pillow with fringe.
im not really sure how to go about making fringe on a pillow.
the only idea i had was add a plane to a pillow that would disect it and that plane would have a texture at 0, 90, 180, 270.
Anyone with a better idea, or made one in the past?

Here is the pillow with fringe that i have to replicate.

Thanks
Dan

Displacement might work?! or blender hair particles using weight painting? its a tricky one! Good luck

Here you go this might help you!

Once your at that stage you could use a texture map for the fringe and clipmap it

mmm...might look abit flat!

Isn't that some sorta long strands of thread or something like that, if so then use a hair/fur plugin or feature of your 3d modeling app and let it do the job for you, it should work beautifully for such a model. Clipmapping, displacement or any similar method might end up looking cheap and poor.

Atleast this is how i would approach such a problem..

very inspiring Bubbaloo..... I had to give it a go :lol:

was pumping cad all week long, so i was up for a little organic modelling...

this took about 20min, all done within Rhino, using array along curve, a random deselection script (free), box edit plugin and curve piping plugIn (both free) and a some cage editing.

with a little more time & love to details, the result could be decent...

Yes, I guess it's doable... if a bit of time is invested in the settings and options it could come quite close, I'd guess.
Btw: this is c4d's hair module. Quite standard without too much indivdual efforts from my side.
