enter image description hereenter image description here3[enter image description here]4[enter image description here]5I am very new to blender and am currently on a very steep learning curve. I am trying to make a nice white coat material. I have managed to make nice materials in other colours. But whenever I use a white colour they tend to come out grey. Above is my current node set up (from a youtube tutorial).

Could somebody help me out with this?

Thanks!

    $\begingroup$ It can be usefull if you show a picture of your actual render too, shaders are just how a meterial react to light, so if your light isn't good, your material will not looks good neither. $\endgroup$ – Mareck Apr 18 '17 at 17:33

The velvet shader often results in darker colors, so for creating a cotton material I would stay away from that. Here is a node setup for a simple cotton fabric:

  • $\begingroup$ Great I have done that and the I really like the material, I think my issue may be lighting. An issue I am struggling to get my head around. For this design I need these lapels to be lit up really nicely, but as you can see they don't. I'll attach my set up as well as what I am getting at the top. $\endgroup$ – Stubbsy345 Apr 19 '17 at 8:24
  • $\begingroup$ @Md If you are struggling with lighting, I highly recommend that you read the definitive article, Lighting tips from the masters by Ben Simonds. Also, you should check out Andrew Price's tutorial on the subject: Mastering Lighting. $\endgroup$ – CGEffex Apr 19 '17 at 12:44
