Re: Searching a true model of curtain.
it seems you mean "vertical blinds".
No, on the right photo, I don't remember precisely the test I have done, but I think the curtain had too big strings, so it isn't enough transparent, and it may seem to be blinds because of the waves.


@alaX: I have created a Q4 PVR photo using your tip, opaque material and transparent texture, and it also causes a problem on the illumination of the room. But the good point is that the curtain is less transparent than the model I have, made with a "d" value set to 0.15 and an opaque texture.

The model is also much smaller in .obj file and I think also in memory, than my curtain model made of strings. I managed to reduce the size of my curtains to .obj files of around 200 MB unzipped, letting the software compute the normals automatically, but it is probably the same in memory.

For tiny patterns you should probably increase AA values and/or change filter ("bucket" sampler algorithm) or increase image size ("ipr").
I will try to change these settings. I didn't do a lot of tests because of the long rendering time in Q4.
