creating mesh material

frank1331 · July 25th, 2005

I need to create a metal mesh material that will be visable from fairly close (approx 10' away). I would like to be able to see through the mesh to what is behind it. I have created a bitmap with the mesh pattern on it, and applied it to the object in the diffuse slot. However, I can't seem to figure out how to see through it? Any ideas?

Thanks

apply it to the opacity map. Just remember: black=see through; white=opaque.
