How can I make Velvet in C4D ???

[NWoolridge]

Well, start by looking closely at real velvet, and noting idiosyncratic qualities in a number of different lighting situations.

Part of the solution will probably be putting a bhodinut fresnel shader in the luminance channel. This will simulate the edge lit appearance of velvet, caused by the nap of the fabric.

Bhodinut Fresnel is definitely the answer. I used it in the color and luminance channels to good effect on some pillows i needed to create recently.

that said that is a totally SLA tutorial. chanlum was not used in it.

so i would also check out chanlum which can be found here

this is a really good plugin for making velvet things.

I have played a bit with ChanLum today and think its
the right shader for velvet. Now I have to tweak the
highlights.
