Does anyone know if Baggins Bill ever created a fabric shader? I've seen the post for stockings, paint, and leather, but I'm hoping that he has one for cloth hidden away somewhere.

I'd be surprised if he hasn't - there is probably a matmatic script for one

 I have used some BB plugins for EzMat2 for some fabrics.

 The thread you may have in mind was a matmatic post featuring different fabric and styles.  I might have the link for it but I am currently away from my home computer.

Look at the EzMat thread, page 5. Looks to be a yet to be released plug in, unless you want to learn matmatic.

Thanks for the information.  I took a look at the EZMat thread and I'll have to put some time aside to read it all. Thanks for the page reference Piersyf, that will be the first page I look at and no I do not want to learn matmatic by myself. My brain popped the last time I tried.

 he also made a thing called loom (was about the same time as matmatic but I cant remember if you needed BOTH  or if loom was standalone)

it makes fantastic cloths, tartans plaids just about anything  

The loom is a python script that is associated with matmatic.  BB took me very patiently through the installation and use of matmatic over at RDNA (look up "Poser > node cult" to find the thread.  It is well worth the trouble and time to learn ... it also helps you to understand the workings behind EZmat.  :)  I hope this helps.  I did do all of that ... just to be able to use the loom, by the way.

P.S. The other features of matmatic are ... amazing as well.  You team matmatic with EZmat and you can do great things in the Material room.

Hello! Sorry I get no ebots. This forum has been ruined and nobody seems to care.

I did make and demo some unreleased plugins for the Loom and other things. I still don't know when I'll finish and release them.

Thanks bagginsbill

It's been a while since I've been to this forum (prior to a few weeks ago). I hope everything is going well with you.

 its works and does just what you said it will (bear in mind I aint looked at it(or poser) in 2 or 3 yrs)

so the only "improvement" I can see you doing is a nice fancy GUI [I'm NOT a lover of a fancy GUI with buttons and presets galore but peeps seem willing to pay for easyepeasy]

It is free and working with python can be daunting for less profitient users. It also helps users learn more about both the material room and python scripts. Heddheld, you may appreciate using magmatic more than EZmat.

 @Boni I appreciate cycles ;-) love poser for err posing but still getting back into the rendering etc ~ ~ only got p14 last yr an its been a funny yr so only opened it a few times but if BB gave me a matmatic for blender ;-) poser could go in the box with my X wifes  yeah the one with Pandora on the top and please DO NOT open near the bottom

Hello! Sorry I get no ebots. This forum has been ruined and nobody seems to care.

I think a lot of people care; that's why they haven't been posting much... :(

My hopes are that there's just some more tweaking going on.  I like that images can be embedded in the post rather than an add-on later ... that's a plus.  I've been getting my ebots, but if others haven't then that's not good.  The layout is a little funky ... but it loads faster and smoother and that is also a plus.  I just think this is such a hub for Poser users we need to work together to support the site.

@heddheld, I've been a fan of Poser since P4, and I have to say, PP2014 is the best Poser ever.  Between the comic-book style and the IDL lighting, the mat-room help of matmatic and EZmat the potential for quality renders have improved 10 fold and let's not forget finally (in PP2012) getting truer SSS.  Now it's mostly the skill of the individual user that is the measurement of a good image.
