This is a general method of making the fabric, here in this tutorial is showing the basics, you can make your own mask and highlight effect, and your own fabric texture.
Sorry it is not well organized, please ask if you have any question or suggestion, thanks:

woooot thank you very much i am gonna have to try this out. The method behind the madness is always fun to see .

Oh if you want i can package all those images in a pdf for you

oh and you are my hero sargon now i can achieve what i am looking for in my newest image that i have been working on when i have the time

Super tut Sargon. Really useful. Here is my first go at fabric folds. I started out intending to do just the fabric and ended up making a complete window scene.
I forgot to extend the curtain rail across the middle.

Goonie, awesome! Colours work well together & there are those lovely flowers again. I really like the curtains a lot. In fact I'd hand them in my study. Painting on the wall adds a very homey touch.

A very well done comp, even if the rod doesn't go all the way across. You could always add a pelmet? Well done!

Hears my try , i went for a more psychedelic fabric for the curtains

A pelmet eh? Good idea Bbq .

AFG, wow! I love the shininess of the fabric & the way thecurtains curve. Slightly metallic look to the (whatcha call those things that hold the curtains back?)

Small suggestion tho, the curtains below the thingies could billow out slightly to give a more realistic look.

In any case, a good job & I'd hang them in my doorway, like a gypsy.

great tut! I'll have to try it out when I've a tiny bit more time. I think this method is very simple to remember. previously I did fabric drapes using the gradiant method ASH showed me ages ago. Its nice to have another version for different situations.

ciao OMA

A flying visit while my computer behaves and lets me stay online (roll on next weekend when I get a new one ... and take a sledge hammer to this one )

Wonderful, wonderful tut' ... I'd never have thought of using Dents there ...
I'm undecided whether you're Ash's father or his love child

Yayyyy hopefully I can post this

Nice image all of you who tried it, and thanks every ones visit and comment, I think the kind of texture on the fabric is so critical for this technique, a fabric containing straight lines will give a better effect when using the Alpha Displacement that is in my opinion. Looks like Chad is so busy and suffering from this hard tut.
Welsh, BTW I can't see Ash for a while, I really missed him, any one has any news about him? Welsh I am not even his neighbors son or grand grand son, he is a way better than me and I did told him that before every time, man some time he does things I can't even imagine how did he do them, his work is fabulous.

Your tut is actually fairly simply and i haven't tried it yet been busy working on some projects but i will have something by the end of today I was so joyful that i finally had all my days of this weekend i have been using pdn like crazy, oh yeah and my new cellphone has distracted me. Nifty things those touch phones are


edit: Finally got around to doing the tut... i know the lamp in it needs work if you have suggestions on how to fix it i would love to hear them
