Can someone give me a quick tutorial of how to create a metal gauze/grid material with transparency in between and sections of metal bar?
I'm really a beginner when it comes to the whole business of material creation :-)
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Rob
Got an example image?
Somethign similar to those below, I assume the process for creating them would be similar after I've made the first one?
Cheers :-)
Simple enough.
Use photoshop to edit one of your samples. You're are aiming to create a tileable image with some alpha information. There are loads of tutorials online to do this.
This image then is used as microstations pattern map texture. Just tick the "Transparent Background" to enable the alpha info.
That's excellent!
I managed to fudge something using a procedural in the meantime but this would have been much easier.
Many many thanks!!!!
If you're interested, there's a great tutorial for making seamless textures here:
