Cotton string material

Hi, what is the best way to create a twisted cotton string material? I would like to wrap the material around a thin pipe.


Best Answer

This can definitely be a tricky material; and there a few ways to approach it. If modeling the actual string material is not an option - you will need to UV unwrap the thin pipe and find an image texture to match the cotton string material. These YouTube videos should give some insight on the UV process - as well as some modeling insight.
