How to make a thatched roof?

Hi I need to make this roof material for a project but I don’t know how to make it, can someone please help me?

Hi dancg44
I can give you references on Search for thatch | 3D Warehouse
Or you can try with the vegetation, giving the shape of the roof, then insert the vegetation with a certain inclination, after which you remove the mapping of the vegetation and put it, for example that of the Bamboo with the cannettato, you have to do this in the graphics program and then sync it to D5.
I hope the suggestion helps you :smiling_face: :smiling_face: :smiling_face:

This is a hastily done example from an object taken from 3D Warehouse and rendered with D5


It’s not the best but it can be worked on :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face:

I think we do not have this material in the Assets Library, you may need to make it in modeling software because the effect may be hard to make through textures.

Hi
hope you found some easy method to create a grass thatched roof in D5, if so please let me know, it will be helpful for my new project

Hi, three years have passed since this moment, now the thatched roof material for a rendering needs to do a search for a 3D model for your graphics program, then if you want a PBR material here too you have to look on the Web. But if you want something fast and realistic you have to use AI on the Web, like NANO BANANA, Creating the image with D5 and then exporting it to one of these AI sites give the input by writing what you would be worth, surely there will be errors, but in the end you will have your roof perfect straw.
Too bad that with so much AI in D5 it doesn’t have the help function that Nano Banana gives you, you can add people, make videos by inserting your images, like commercials, etc… etc…
Try this way, go to the gallery there is a project of mine that I have added now where there is an 18 second film showing the restaurant with people eating.
This done with AI, which doesn’t give you D5
Sorry for the English

Thank you for your reply, my task is for a video, so AI may not work, different angle shots are required, let me see a pbr material

Go to this site if you are registered and it is easy to find it on the web:

Or on the same site you can take a model and create the thatched roof you need from the model already in 3D

or:

Texture tetto di paglia - Poliigon

thanks for your reply
