try posting in the 3ds max section of the forum for a start?

 

other than that, try a multi sub object material.

try vray blend material it will give you a lot of control over your material...

 

theres a lot of resources on the web. try google it.

keep it simple, use 2 tiles maps....doing exactly what you're asking in a project right now, attached is the map setup and a crop from the render to show the result.

 

1 in the diffuse slot, with tile set to black and grout is the color of your stripes.

 

2 in the refractions slot where tile is your glass color, and the stripe is pure black so that it's not refracted.
