Fabric and Textiles: Softness After Light Absorption by Fibers

An indoor corner composed of a large amount of textiles: heavy linen curtains, a coarsely woven wool rug, a velvet sofa, and several throw pillows. When light falls on these materials, it is largely absorbed and scattered by the fibers, producing almost no specular reflection. The edges of shadows are extremely soft, and the material surfaces exhibit a fine fuzzy texture and subtle transitions of light and dark. The folds of the curtains form soft longitudinal gradients of light and dark under sidelight, and the weave of the rug shows directionality under grazing light. There is no sharp highlight anywhere in the corner; the quality of light is thick and soft. This contrasts with the specular highlight on an adjacent metal side table. Avoid: textiles showing specular reflection, depicting materials as smooth, textureless color blocks, using hard light to create sharp shadows, or eliminating the light and dark层次 of folds.

一個以大量織品構成的室內角落:厚重的亞麻窗簾、粗織的羊毛地毯、絨布的沙發與數個抱枕。光落在這些材料上時被纖維大量吸收與散射,幾乎不產生任何鏡面反光,陰影的邊緣極度柔和,材料表面呈現細密的絨毛質感與微妙的明暗過渡。窗簾的褶皺在側光下形成柔和的縱向明暗漸層,地毯的織紋在掠射光下顯出方向性。整個角落沒有一處銳利的高光,光的質地厚而軟。與旁邊一件金屬邊几的鏡面高光形成對比。避免:讓織品出現鏡面反光、把材料畫成平滑無紋理的色塊、使用硬光產生銳利陰影、消除褶皺的明暗層次。
