Fishnet stockings?
Well, not really. But that's sort of what I'm trying to figure out how to model. I don't normally have to do too much in the way of biomorphic or organic forms, but a recent project with a very close deadline is forcing my hand. And after doing some searching on both the forums here and the broader interwebs, I'm at a bit of a loss.
Well, more than a bit.
I have attached an image that seems to do roughly what I'm trying to do... that is, have a netting or webbing follow an organic form. (The image is from a collection of work by an artist/designer named Neri Oxman, from her website materialecology.com. Some very nice stuff, in my opinion. Anyway.)
Ideally there would be a good way to do this using a jpeg as mapping somehow. I've tried using a jpeg as an opacity map, which is ok, but I really need it to be dimensional.
I don't know if any of this makes any sense, but if it does, any direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, everybody!
(Oh, and I'm using VIZ 4. Yep, it's a dinosaur. Nope, I have no control over software acquisitions.)
