I am working on spacecraft look dev for an indie sci-fi short.
This is the look and feel style bible for the spacecraft details:

i.e. crinkled multi-layered insulation or MLI:

Instead of taking photographs of crinkled foil as textures, could you use a vellum cloth solver to get a crinkled foil look?
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

thanks

Hi there,

I'm not a vellum expert (at all) but I did try to see if I can replicate using a couple of nodes.

Not sure if that's what you're looking for but thought I'd try to help.

Cheers.
