Hey guys (and hopefully girls as well),
Does anyone have any tips on doing textures for a thin metal fence ? I made one in photoshop that's just simple white on black, so I can also use it as alpha map in 3ds max, but when I do a 800x600 render it looks very soft and not at all like a fence.
The idea is to make a texture on a plane for a grandstand (race track stand) to make a fence in front of it. Thin, metal, but it's got to be visible....not detailed, but at least it should give the idea of a fence-structure, if you get my idea :)
So basically I could get away with any kind of line pattern, as long as it gives the right illusion :)
Anyone know any tricks to do this ?
Thanks :)
