I have a cloth that is laying on a piano but I can’t get the look that I am trying to achieve. I’m wanting to add a material that looks like lace and has holes in it. Here is the texture I’m wanting to use.

I’m wanting to get the black part of the image to be completely transparent on my cloth so I edited the texture in Photoshop to get the black out.

Not sure if that was necessary or not, it’s probably possible to just do it in blender. I’m wanting to do this in cycles. if anyone can help me with this that would be great! Thanks!

Here’s one possibility using your original texture. Ideally the black should be transparent in your texture but this assumes black = 100% transparent and white = 100% opaque

That’s exactly what I’m wanting to do! What nodes are you using?
