In this tutorial I will go over explaining how to create some realistic soft cloth shaders inside Maya using V-Ray, this technique actually works on any type of renderer, I will start by explaining how to create a really simple cloth shader that you can use in your cartoony projects, and then I’ll show you the “standard” cloth technique, and finally I’ll build an awesome shader network that will blow your mind.

Soft Cloth We will start by creating a V-Ray cloth shader, it’s so soft you would? I told you the shader is going to blow your mind, wait till you get to the part where you can change the color of the shader, you gotta watch it…

Satin Cloth Once we have that V-Ray cloth shader, we will build on top of it and create more of a satin look, will add some reflections to the v-ray shader and tweak the bump map and cloth texture pattern to get a different result.

Royal Velvet Cloth Once we have the VRay satin cloth shader ready we will go ahead and create a more velvet like fabric for all your Royal garment and we will also print a gold royal pattern on top of it using V-Ray’s blend material.
