Hello, I am trying to make terry cloth towels. you can see there are a lot of dark blotches in the towels. I have been asked to make the towels more "fluffy" because originally I was just using a texture of a towel. I am using a flat white Arch and Design texture for the towels now.
I am rendering with Mental ray and 3ds Max version 2014. I have Hair and fur set to Geometry under Effects. Setting Hair and Fur to mrprim wasn't rendering for me.
Another thing I was wondering about is all my shadows are very black. All my textures have Ambient Occlusion on and set to 64. I have turned Ambient Occlusion off for the towels though. Trying anything to lighten the towels up.
Thank you for any help
