Searching a true model of curtain.
Hi,

I'm searching a true 3D model of a curtain, that is made of strings and not of a transparent surface. If a such model exists, I hope it will render better because it is not a transparent but a pierced material.

Actually, I'm using a transparent curtain and I'm trying to illuminate a room through it. So I placed an unviewable light panel between a window and the curtain. I set the light power to 30%. I also modified the MTL file of the curtain to set the opacity to 0.15 instead of 0.66, in order to make it more transparent.

With these settings, the illumination of the room seems more natural, but when we look at the window, the curtain appears too much transparent.

I know it is possible to set a different opacity for each side of a surface. But if I find a curtain model that uses different materials for the two sides of the curtain, I think it won't render correctly, because the surface is made of waves and the light go through the curtain several times.
