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
I prefer to use texture as Opacity map to control visibility (no need to turn on "transparent background"). and one can use another texture for Pattern map if necessary. anyway, for most cases the result is the same

All great tips! Thanks guys :-)
you can also have a look at this example using some of the techniques mentioned in this thread.
Making transparent background without masking...?
The most upper left pixel of your pattern determines what the transparency color is. Use a unique color to paint out the transparent parts. Make shure the upper left pixel has that same color. Save in a losless format like TIFF or BMP to avoid noise and artifacts.
See, now you can create wire fences with Paint.
