Settings for Fabric Materials in Twinmotion | Twinmotion Documentation

The following tables describe the settings specific to the Fabric materials in Twinmotion. For information on all other settings not mentioned on this page, see Settings for Standard Materials.

Standard and Thin

Switches between the following two modes: Standard and Thin.

Setting	Description
Standard	Standard fabric is suitable for opaque fabrics such as velvet, denim, and plain cotton.
Thin	Thin fabric is suitable for transparent and semi-transparent fabrics such as tulle, muslin, and thin cotton.

Fabric

Setting	Description
Use fuzzy	If enabled, the Fuzzy mask emulates and accentuates the fuzziness of certain fabric types, such as velvet, felt, and wool. The fuzzy settings can be masked to achieve various effects, such as combining more than one type of fabric on an object.
Fuzzy mask	A user-defined texture map that defines where and how much fuzziness is applied to the surface of the material. It is a black-and-white image, where black defines areas where fuzziness is not applied (masked), and white defines areas where fuzziness is applied.
Invert fuzzy mask	If enabled, inverts the black and white values of the Fuzzy mask.
Core falloff	Controls how much of the fabric surface facing the camera is darkened. Options: 0.00 to 1.00
Core intensity	Darkens the surface of the fabric that directly faces the camera. Options: 0.00 to 1.00
Edge falloff	Controls how much of the fabric surface facing away from the camera is brightened. Options: 0.00 to 1.00
Edge intensity	Brightens the surface of the fabric that faces away from the camera. Options: 0.00 to 1.00
Decouple detail UVs	Splits the base color texture UVs from the Normal and Height map textures. This setting applies only to Standard fabric materials.
Detail scale X	Controls the horizontal tiling of the Normal and Height map textures when Decouple detail UVs is enabled.
Detail scale Y	Controls the vertical tiling of the Normal and Height map textures when Decouple detail UVs is enabled.

UV

Setting	Description
Triplanar	If enabled, this setting automatically projects textures onto the surfaces of objects that do not have UV mapping or incorrect UV mapping. Triplanar mapping can be applied in World space or Local space: In World space, textures are projected onto surfaces following the orientation of the X, Y, and Z axes of the world reference coordinate system. In Local space, textures are applied in the same way as world space but are aligned to the local orientation of objects. This is useful to avoid texture sliding when moving objects or to improve projection alignment on rotated objects. Options: Off, World space, Local space
Randomize UV	Randomizes the UV tiling of materials. This can be useful when you want to avoid repeating the tiling pattern on a material that is used on a large surface area. To use it, select the material on an object or surface in the scene and enable the setting. We recommend using this setting only for fabric materials that do not have geometric patterns, as this can result in visible artifacts.

Setting

Description

Triplanar

If enabled, this setting automatically projects textures onto the surfaces of objects that do not have UV mapping or incorrect UV mapping.

Triplanar mapping can be applied in World space or Local space:

In World space, textures are projected onto surfaces following the orientation of the X, Y, and Z axes of the world reference coordinate system.
In Local space, textures are applied in the same way as world space but are aligned to the local orientation of objects. This is useful to avoid texture sliding when moving objects or to improve projection alignment on rotated objects.

Options: Off, World space, Local space

Randomize UV

Randomizes the UV tiling of materials. This can be useful when you want to avoid repeating the tiling pattern on a material that is used on a large surface area.

To use it, select the material on an object or surface in the scene and enable the setting.

We recommend using this setting only for fabric materials that do not have geometric patterns, as this can result in visible artifacts.

Opacity

Setting	Description
Thickness	Increases the opacity at grazing angles to give an approximate impression of thickness using the opacity mask or Opacity map texture.

Color

Mask

Setting	Description
Tint color mask	A user-defined texture that defines the areas where the base color texture is tinted. It is a black and white texture where white is the mask.
Invert	If enabled, inverts the black and white values of the Tint color mask.

Translucency

The following settings apply to Thin fabric materials only.

Setting	Description
Translucency map	A user-defined texture map that controls how light passes through the fabric and modulates the base color.
Translucency amount	Defines how much of the Translucency map applies to the backface of the fabric. Options: 0.0 to 1.0
Translucency saturation	Controls the saturation of the base color of any light that passes through the fabric. Options: 0.1 to 2.0

Setting

Description

Translucency map

A user-defined texture map that controls how light passes through the fabric and modulates the base color.

Translucency amount

Defines how much of the Translucency map applies to the backface of the fabric.

Options: 0.0 to 1.0

Translucency saturation

Controls the saturation of the base color of any light that passes through the fabric.

Options: 0.1 to 2.0

Misc.

Setting	Description
Wind	If enabled, the fabric reacts to the wind Speed and Direction settings defined in the Ambience panel under Env > Wind. This can be useful to simulate draped fabric such as curtains.
