Also known as "Rags" these are the materials that are tied to the Butterfly/Overhead frame.
For many years, only the basic materials were used such as scrims to reduce light, silk to diffuse light and solid to eliminate light.
More recently many new materials have been added to allow many degrees of diffusion (Grid Cloths, Black Silks, etc.) plus many new reflective materials are now available to make large reflectors for both sunlight and artificial light such as Matthflectors, Grifflectors and Lames.

Comments about Matthews 8x8' Overhead Fabric - Green Screen:
The fabric is lightweight but heavy duty and was perfect for recent interview sessions I just did. I would recommend a 10 x10 or larger to deal with radiosity and reflection if you are shooting in a small space. Also you absolutely must buy a steamer to get rid of wrinkles and of course you'll need some sort of mounting system.
