I've been trying to render Shade Cloth for a Shade Sail, but I'm having a hard time finding a translucent material that looks like fabric and also creates shade. Lots of pictures on our website www.shadesailscanada.com, any ideas? Thanks!!
Hello ,
Thank you for posting your question in the community regarding this shading cloth material and how to best represent it in Twinmotion. I am thinking you could get pretty close with the glass or translucent material to get it to look like the fabric. The issue with glass is that it does not cast shadows.
In image below the glass material on the left and right square plane and translucent material in the middle square plane.
Otherwise you can apply a PNG image texture that has a transparency percentage set with opacity on in Twinmotion.
I also recommend asking the same question in the Facebook group as other users might have some good suggestions as well: https://www.facebook.com/groups/twinmotion.community/

Thanks Vincent,
You are right, I tried textured glass, and it looks very close, but it doesn't cast shadows, which is not good to represent the feature of our product. I will try the PNG image also.
