Quote - I did not know Poser could handle this kind of micro scale. I want to see how IDL can handle it.

Can Parmatic produce an "opaque" border or something with a pattern to frame this shader?

Nice work,

gotta get up in 5 hours

No parmatic doesn't do any shader effects. Did you mean matmatic? Then yes. I'll be getting to that in part 5.

I have to get to bed myself, so I'll be pausing for now. But just so you know what is coming, so far I've only dealt with opaque fibers. But what if the fibers themselves are partially transparent? Nylon fibers are not opaque. This won't look like nylon until we deal with that. Part 3 will be translucent horizontal fibers. Part 4 will be translucent vertical fibers.

We'll be up to around 20 nodes by then.

Then part 5 will be how to introduce borders and lace into the equation.
