Carbon Fiber Texture Detail LoRA

This LoRA was built to improve mid to close-up carbon fiber texture definition, especially in photorealistic renders. FLUX alone tends to produce overly simplified checkered patterns — the kind that look like cheap vinyl wrap pretending to be carbon fiber. That wasn’t good enough.

The goal here was to create something that gives depth, complexity, and the tactile sense of real carbon fiber weave, especially under a clear coat — both in lacquered high-gloss and matte finishes.

I also tried to mimic authentic fiber layup behavior, introducing subtle variations and imperfect weave alignment that suggest seams, panel overlaps, or hand-laid molding. In some images, you may notice a slight shift or taper in the weave — that’s intentional. It’s meant to echo how real-world carbon fiber parts aren’t seamless, especially around curves and edge transitions.

The gloss version holds up well, producing convincing reflections and a sense of smooth, premium material. The matte version can be hit or miss: while it often generates a nice basket-weave pattern, it sometimes fails to properly show a matte clear coat layer — so results might vary there.

⚠️ On distant shots, the weave can appear too large in scale, so this LoRA is best suited for medium to close-up compositions.

Recommended settings:

• LoRA strength: 0.40 – 1.0

• Above 0.8, it starts to heavily modify the base — great if you want a very different look, but keep that in mind.

• I recommend generating directly with the LoRA enabled and doing prompt-level tweaks to dial it in.

Example images used:

• Euler + Beta

• 40 Steps

• Flux Guidance: 3.5

✨ Features

• Detailed basket-weave texture, not just surface checkerboards

• Works for high-gloss lacquered finish and matte clear coat

• Subtle surface variation simulates real-world fiber seams & mold lines

• Designed to add depth and tactility, even under lighting & reflections

• Best suited for carbon fiber armor, props, helmets, car panels, etc.

🏷️ Suggested Prompt Tags

• "lacquered carbon fiber panel"

• "matte carbon fiber surface"

• "carbon fiber helmet with gloss finish"

• "close-up of carbon fiber weaving texture"

• "high-gloss black carbon fiber shell"

• "matte carbon fiber body armor"

• "carbon fiber plating with visible seam"

• "basket weave carbon fiber texture under clear coat"

• "carbon fiber molded into sharp angles"

• "military-grade carbon fiber chestplate"

⚠️ Limitations

• Far shots may exaggerate the weave scale — best used close to medium range

• Matte finish can sometimes lack a convincing top layer — results vary
