Hello,

I'm trying to make a cotton ball out of a primitive sphere using a shader. I've acheived the look below, but thought others might know a better approach. Kind of an interesting problem.

 

Thanks for the help.

Try using a cloud node.

my vote would be to make flat, tapered cotton patch, with wispy transmap, then duplicate once or twice and bend them all into a spheroid.

This is the best I've managed.

That looks pretty good. I'll try it.

Thanks to everyone for all the ideas.

I'm trying to create one from a mat file downloaded from RDNA... It's a cotton candy material but if you are willing to nest some spheres (3) and apply the mat to them, it should work (with a little tweaking).
