creating a see through mesh?
 

okies im creating a bass guitar amp but im not sure how to go about creating the covering of the speakers.


I have created a cabinet with the speakers in it and need to put the mesh over the speakers..

however i want to be able to see the speakers pretty clearly through the mesh but at the same time have a definate closed off look...

any ideas?

cheers Vamps

Just lay out a bunch of dark hexagons evenly on a 50% gray canvas and apply it to the transparency node of your texture.

is there a quick way to do that or is it all manual?

Its all manual as far as I know. In photoshop it shouldnt be too hard to create the pattern you want.

ah kewlies..will try that thank you

Is this for the stage scene, by the way???

sure is

Cool. I hope it turns out nice.

me too :)

here we go..thats done the job..thax mate

Cool. Cant wait to see it sitting there with the rest of the scene.
