You could be visualizing a residential project that hasn’t even started construction, but the addition of something as familiar and tactile as a cozy blanket or a textured cushion grounds viewers in your scene, helping bring it to life. As woven fabrics are made of many strands of yarn interlaced, they have several properties that require a dedicated material. In Corona, the [Corona Fabric Material](https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/38388642867601-How-to-use-the-Corona-Fabric-Material) makes creating realistic textiles for your projects is easier than ever. In this brief tutorial, we’ll demonstrate how simple it is to achieve lifelike fabrics and woven materials, such as knit, twill, satin, and velvet, for anyone looking to add fabrics to renderings.      Prior to [Corona 14](https://blog.chaos.com/corona-14?hsLang=en) and Corona Fabric Material, creating realistic fabrics was a challenge that often resulted in something too shiny, flat, or too “perfect,” and therefore unrealistic. →Read more: [How The Boundary Reimagined the BBC’s Iconic Television Centre with Chaos Corona](https://blog.chaos.com/the-boundary-the-ariel?hsLang=en) ## Create new fabric material Now, creating a realistic material is as simple as creating a new fabric material, and applying it to your cloth mesh. ## Pick and preset Next, let’s adjust your material until it’s perfect. To start, pick a preset (default, satin cushion, couch, rope net, or bamboo). ## Adjust the weave pattern Then, adjust the weave pattern until it fits your fabric. Choose from the available presets, including flat, plain, satin, twill, mosaic, diamond, spiral, broken twill, shaded twill, herringbone, huckaback, welts and pique, or mock leno. ## Concentrate on the yarn Next, move onto fine-tuning the thread and fiber details to ensure the material looks realistic even in extreme close-ups. For example, adjusting the diameter of the warps and wefts—vertical and horizontal strands of yarn that form the material—to control the transparency of the fabric. Add depth by enabling the Parallax effect, and then control the amplitude and thickness of the strands. ## Add surface irregularities To avoid creating fabric that looks “too perfect,” head to the distortion settings. There, introduce some realistic surface irregularities In the Piles section, adjust the individual threads that make up each strand of your fabric, giving you control over the thickness of yarn and its “fuzziness.” And finally, add smaller scale bumps by adjusting the fibers. ## Control the shading After perfecting the structure of your textile, move onto controlling the shading of the fabric. You can adjust its color, or introduce some [subsurface scattering](https://blog.chaos.com/subsurface-scattering-explained?hsLang=en) to simulate the softness, sheen, or translucency of the real fabric in your version. ## Customize the look Using custom textures, you can control any of the parameters to create fabric designs. For example, using a low-resolution black and white image, you can define the behavior of the warps and wefts for a unique design. Thanks to Corona Fabric Material, creating realistic textiles in your renderings has now become effortless. → Learn more: [25 Free video tutorials for archviz beginners (6+ hours of learning content)](https://blog.chaos.com/free-archviz-tutorials-beginners?hsLang=en)   [![Try Corona 14 now](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6852391/35369fa1-23ff-428a-9ce5-a862ba64aab6.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6852391/35369fa1-23ff-428a-9ce5-a862ba64aab6)   ### Ready to try Chaos products?
