How to apply carbon fiber look to surface of box in Fusion 360?

[mikehansen]

Hi I need to apply carbon fiber material to a shelled box in F360. I am mostly looking for the carbon fiber appearance for showing the concept idea, however if material properties could also mimic mechanical properties of real CF (weight, strength etc), that would be a bonus.

So how do I apply CF to a box?

How to I render it so the model looks like real CF?

A video would be cool? Tried a search and didnt find much related to appearance and rendering of CF

If you want very simple do this:

If you want something much more complex like a car part with clearcoat, refraction and depth I can do a video on that too but keep in mind it is a lot more work.

The more complex method gives results like this:

Indeed this is exactly what i was looking for, could you please explain how you did it? Your render result is supreme

Thank you for your response, yes i have. I was referring to Phil's own statement "If you want something much more complex like a car part with clearcoat, refraction and depth I can do a video on that too but keep in mind it is a lot more work", clearcoat, refraction and depth is what i need

OK. Yes, that is indeed a lot more work.
