hello i wandered how to create material for garage or a wall witch is made of windows without actualy makind 3d object of the whole thing....just to make a plane and put on texture and to get similar result to this this linkhttp://www.wayne-dalton.com/nl/McKeeDoor_Monstrous_Garage_Door_Exterior.jpg

try looking at the gradient ramp in box mode or the tiles map in your diffuse slot in your material.

 

It would probably be just a easy to model it...

never heard of such a thing, just model it.

a short cut isnt allways the shortest way...

[Jackie Teh]

Do you try alpha map before ?

[Claudio Branch]

Model it...

 

Create a plane with an adequate face count, convert to Editable Poly, and use Inset & Bevel.

tnanx i'll try modeling it....even thoe i found out a way to do that myself.....through opacity map

[only3d]

no one said there isnt a way to do it, just that its not worth the effort..

if u dont trust me then i guess ull see for yourself.

 

but if i might add- one of the points of turning to a forum like this is learning from other peoples experience and getting solutions to problems u havnt thought of.

a kind of "think tank" if u will.

while being stubborn can be quite fun (especially when ur right ), most times its just unproductive...

 

sorry for the whipping

good luck

There must be a way to do it (although I don't know it) but all comes down to the quality and realism of your final product. If you want reflections, refractions, caustics and all properties of light to be acccurate reproduced, I am afraid you'll have to model it. If ou find a way to do it, post it here. I would be interesting to know. Good luck.
