Procedural Metal Mesh


The pattern you see on these objects is 100% made up of mathematical calculations.  Procedural textures are resolution-less images created by mathematical sequences, and are recalculated in accordance with their size in the final image.  Meaning when you bring the camera forward for an extreme close up, the image's finer details are calculated and shown.  When you bring the camera back for a very long shot, only the image's most basic details will be calculated.  This perfect efficiency makes the extra work worth it!  Speaking of "extra work" here is what this material looks like in Hypershade↓

clear as mud!
