Can anyone point me in the direction of a shader that'll give me stripes to change the texture on a tie?

Thanks.

Check castleposer for shader tutorials.  I believe there is a tute that may answer your question.

By the way, John's Castle Poser tutorial shader will produce stripes, but they will not be anti-aliased. You'll get jaggies in some cases.

If you encounter that problem and would like to see how to fix it, let me know. It's just one more node.

Thank you both.

BB---very informative thread. It answered another question of mine---where to go to alter the direction of the stripes. :thumbupboth:

Hello BagginsBill

Yes Please, I would love to know how to fix the stripes.
I was just playing with this last week and figured out Vertical stripes.
Still haven't figured out how to get them small enough to look like a Ref's Shirt though.
And, certainly do have the jaggies.

You'll be able to make any of thousands of variations in minutes.

Here's a teaser. (Click for full size) I've included a few Holiday themed ones since Christmas is coming.

I'll let you know when it's ready.

Is it easy to make soft-edged bands of colour that blend into each other with the same set-up, or is that a whole other thing? The reason I ask, is because I made a gas giant model the other day, ultimately for use in Vue - but I was wondering about using it in Poser too. I know my way around Poser materials a lot better than I do Vue's.

Yes it is, although I wouldn't use the exact same setup. These stripes are meant to be incredibly regular repeating patterns, whereas the rings of a planet should be different sizes and should not repeat the colors. The use of the Mod operator to produce a repeating ramp is inappropriate for in this case.

But I'd still use Blender nodes as I'm doing here to blend the colors smoothly.

Ohhh yeah, those are awesome! I love stripes!!

OMG. This looks AMAZING!!!!

Is this a regular MT5 file or for Matmatic?

Just mt5 files. I built them by hand - wasn't complicated enough to justify matmatic.

This way you can read what it does since I carefully laid everything out to make sense instead of spaghetti.

Well.... it makes sense to me anyway.

Any specific requests?

Great stripes,the only problem is that the stripes on the tie knots should be rotated 90 degrees compared to the main area of the tie.

I noticed that - it's a very old tie for P4 woman from free stuff somewhere. I didn't have a good tie laying around.

Whatever tie you use, the UV map should be opposite for the knot. If it isn't I suppose you could use the grouping tool to re-assign those polygons to another material and then flip the diagonal on that second copy of  the shader.

Quote - I made 6 more for the set.

I seriously LOVE you. Just what I needed!

Can we use this (with adjusted settings of course) to turn a regular black suit into pinstripes?

Yes, as long as the suit has good straight UV lines.

Some don't.

You'll also need to change the specular a bit and possibly add some Noise for bump. Here's an example.

But if you really want a pin-stripe suit fabric, you should use my loom and build a realistic cloth with threads and fibers.

Here's what I mean about using the loom.

This tie shader has no "texture" - they're just smooth stripes.

If you want suit cloth, you need a texture like this.

See all the detail? Threads and fibers, and the pin-stripe is not continous because it is a thread and goes under the other threads sometimes.

I made this pin-stripe suit material as a tileable image using my Loom. You can use the Loom shader directly on a suit, or you can use it to design and render a repeating tile.

Here is that tile on a larger cloth.

How about these ?
I have a few other challenging ones from a Google image search if your bored

Heheh. I knew somebody would show me some textured fabrics. Those would be a job for the Loom, combined with this stripe generator.

One step at a time...

Hmmm. I'm running out of time. I have to get to bed as I'm heading to the airport at 3:30 am tomorrow.

So here ya go - see if you can make them work for you.
