for pimping up any livingroom:

Thank you again!

Cool curtains. Had a few minutes and did a quick try using an image of a piece of fabric, repeated gradient, distort brush and a quickie shadow. Not production quality but maybe I'll play with this again. I like the lighting effects and folds on the ones you guys did. Have to see what I can do with lighting in PSP though I suspect I'll just have to paint a dodge layer to lighten up the sections I wanted. Here it is about 10 minutes work in PSP and applied to a wall in 3DGS just to see what it could look like.

Hey Guys. I got an idea after I tried this and wanted to suggest it. If there is some interest in this you might consider making your curtain folds and fabric texture available so people can use them to make their own textures. Won't work for every texture and need a lighter color fabric but I made a quick example shadow map here and also put together a quick psd file so you can get a quick at one way to put a curtain together with layers.

Here is the shadow map I made



Here is the zip file (2.9 MB) with all the layers as an example

and here is the quickie texture I produced my mixing the color layer, shadowmap, and a few other layers.



Hope this is useful for those who might be interested in learning.

Hey thanks, Good idea. Now will be pretty easy to implement any color or design i want thanks again

"some gradient fills, lighting render filter, sandstone texturizer, alpha channel, multiple layers set to different layer types...","some reflected gradient, polar coordinates, lighting render with alpha channel, and a few other things here"

That's a lot of stuff to think about and use! You could make that pretty easily in a 3d animation program just by using a loft NURBs and adding a bump texture

Thank you bupaje. That is a very nice contribution. I will start to create some curtains this evening

playing arround a little bit:
