#Silk or Satin FX
I've been trying to get a decent "billowing silk or satin" effect with
LightWave. Often-seen effect looks like a shiny flag waving, with specular
highlights (somewhat similar to the cape animation at the end of "Lois and
Clark"). I've tried unsuccessfully to emulate this effect properly in LightWave
with multiple combinations of displacement maps, bump maps and several surface
combinations. I can get close, but the effect is too regular (even with
multiple wave sources) or the specular highlights are wrong.
I'm out of ideas so if you think you have the answer to the LightWave settings,
I can give it a try.
Stumped, (I hate that!)
