I guess a new dull MATERIAL Fabric will do the job.

I don't know enough about these specific actual physical parts to know what is needed here. Adding FABRIC as an official material is fine, but I do know that LEGO has produced items with multiple different types of fabric. For example:
- Boba Fett big fig Pauldron (same as Darth Vader big fig cape, 76393 Harry Potter cape?)
- Minifig capes
- Sails
- Tepee/Covered Wagon
- Qui-Gon Jinn minifig poncho
I'm guessing there are others, but I'm not sure. Should this be one material type with parameters to specify the details, or a separate material for each one? I just don't know.

I guess three sizes: fine (capes), medium (sails), coarse (tepee/covered wagon) will do the job.

The large capes (like on big fig Vader) use significantly different fabric from the minifig ones. One side is, for lack of a better word, fuzzy. (Velvety?)

Just to be on the same page, we are talking about this:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...ge?P=42256
which is indeed completely different from the usual cape/sail/whatever. I don't like to overrule this too much. Three gradients seem more than enough. We could always add them in a second moment if there is need for - or leave it to the user als we did with with direct color.
w.
Thinking this throug, it should be as open as possible so beside MATERIAL and FABRIC it should have a TYPE for Canvas, Cord, Velvet, Silk, Ciffon, a MESH SIZE s | MINSIZE min MAXSIZE max and REFLECTION r to control the dullness.

I would appreciate it, if you could bring this ship in.

I still would like to have this ruled out.
