Hi kumax... not sure about the shadows.. that would be puybarets or db4tech's area..
but when I want to get a fabric type texture, I used a smaller texture of between 256 x256 or 512x512, and make it the shades very distinct. Then I make the texture very small in the texture editor, like 1 inch sq. Here is an example..
It used this texture at 4x4 inches
This one is a little lighter
and used this at 1x1
And this is dark...
and used this at 6x6 inches
And those were great looking renders!
