WovenAnisotropic

This component is designed to represent fabric-type materials. Such materials are made up of threads or fibres running in two different directions, known as 'warp' and 'weft', which can each produce anisotropic glossy reflections. By increasing the transmission parameter, it is possible to simulate thin partially-translucent fabrics.

Weight

WarpToWeftRatio

TransmissionExponent

Controls how quickly the transmission of the material changes as you move across the surface. The maximum amount of light is transmitted when the material is viewed straight on. The transmission falls to zero when the material is viewed from a very shallow angle.
