Screens

Does anybody have any good tips on how to obtain a realistic screen material? I have a screen porch that I would like to look nice.

I've always just used an opacity map. I usually make the map a little larger than it would be in real life to make it show up well. Works well for medium to far shots.

For up close, you might try using a displacement map on a plane using the water level parameter to cut out the holes, though I've never tried it. Just a thought.

Good luck!
