RickyBlender · December 26, 2012, 3:56pm

is there a nodes set up to make a grill on a plane
square or honeycomb with an image or proc texture
preferably with a proc texture at least no image to carry with file!

not talking out the OSL one here!

thanks

Have you tried using a magic texture node plugged in as fac for mixe node of diffuse and transparent? If using a mapping node and tex coordinate, you can also set it to depth of 5 to get an interesting setup

add a colorramp between the texture and the fac input and set to constant and you can get it to work with a sharp edge

seen that one but not interested in OSL - too slow overall

would like something equivalent in cycles alone

thanks

would like to see equivalent in cycles

i did the wire cage with curves = 4000 verts
