How do I model this?
 

Hi mates,
Does anyone know a (easy) way of modelling that bolter(the plate on top) on this speaker?

Thanks in advance!

i think you would probably use a transparency map to make the mesh, rather than actually model it.

well I would if I knew how.....maybe you're kind and explain :beer:

Plug a grayscale image into the transparancy slot of a material, and play about with it to see how it works.

Yep ..seems possible..thanks for the advices!
Cheers!;)

Use a grid for the transparency repeat the u and v's alot then duplicate the grid texture adjust/texture the color of the visable part and plug this into the specular color.
good luck:beer:

Hey it works nice, but not over the entire surface..as you see
works well in the middle but then it goes wild and I have no ideea what is it.Help please!
(I puted the 2d grid texture)

have you layed out your uvs?

it looks good in the middle.

Hey man I hoped I could assign it without laying the uv's but
I just been lazy.:blush:
Did that and works fine.Thank's for the helping!

that's much better - looks cool. with polygons you always have to lay out the uvs. ;)

don't forget to post this in the wip forum. :beer:
