Procedural Carpet

[ZooHead]

I just came up with a procedural carpet material.
Lighting position is important here for the bumpmap to work.

I´m under the impression that you need equal values at the Turbulence node - otherwise it will only have a proper bumpmap along X-axis.

The scale values of the Bumpmap Turbulence Node are 0.1, 2.0 and 3.0.
It doesn't work if all are the same.

Your values on a standard box:

Equal numbers (at scale X,Y,Z=1,5):

I understand what you're saying but it doesn't have the same look as my example.
If I place my material on a cube it will only look correct on the front or back.
If I make the scale values the same it looks totally different for some reason.

Here's the results of each setting of 1.5, 1. and .1 as compared to the original.
As you can see the look is totally different.

Sure - I know - but as it is it won´t work for a carpet on a floor - just as tapestry.
To make it work as a floor carpet change the Scale values to 2,0x0,1x3,0 (the fraction value along Y-axis)
Love it BTW and the title of course.
I think I found a solution for the mapping:

I did realize the scale values needed to be changed from wall to floor position.

Nice move adding the State Node to the Turbulence
Position Channel, I'll have to play with that later today.

I could not get the State Node to work for me, so I used my original material
to render an image, and I used said image for a new image based material.

Make sure the small value is at Y-axis:

I just got it. car pet day.

Oh, that's funny. I have a car pet too. I let it drive on your carpet. That didn't go so well. The duck says it's not her fault, she has a driving licence. Maybe it's the scale values?
And ZooHead, please vacuum the carpet next time before you upload it.

Have a happy car-pet day!

I was thinking that "scale" was why I can't get the results Frank was getting.

What does one need to even come up with that node salad! I wouldn't even know where to start.

I'm often flying blind with nodes.
Lucily you can't blow a fuse or start a fire plugging in nodes, so I just have fun with it.

Oh wow, those look great! This will come in very useful for some of the architectural renders I have to do.
