Hello,
This is my entry for the contest
.
I was looking for something special and something that will harness the power of Iray and MDL. Decided to go with an optical fiber self-illuminated cloth material. It is a material made from specially fabricated optical fiber wires. Regularly, the light shouldn't leak from optical fiber, but for this material a large number of laser cuts are being made on the fiber, so the light would leak out along the length of a wire producing beautiful light sparkles and streaks.
The material is made as a MDL driven by Substance graph. Images were rendered using IRay with displacement mapping. As it's basically all glass, there's A LOT of refraction on this material, so it was a challenge on itself to render it out.
