Shading is applied to the cross-sectional image of each fiber selected in a yarn to provide a realistic image of the resultant spun-yarn. Shading is also applied to portions of each warp and fill thread in the vicinity of their intersecting each other to provide a realistic woven fabric surface image.Other References
