What you are looking at in this picture is an "Observation Cell" being built in a prison. This is where the real bad people get sent. What i'm trying to replicate is what called "Detention Fabric" which is what yo usee behind the bars in the picture. It's actually a very densly woven wire mesh. How would you go about recreating this material? I'm not even 100% sure where to start....any direction or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,
John Gray

Hi John,

If you mean the white/beige plastic woven tissue, I would recommend you to recreate it using the plastic template as a start, change the color and add a bump map of a woven texture in the bump slot. First get the amount of bump right, than tweak the plastic look to your liking.
This is a very basic way, but should work for you.

As always Nisus thank you so much....sometimes something is so simple that i tend to overthink it, such as this material. I'l give it a shot at work tomorrow and see how it looks...thanks again...
