Hi there,

I am new to creating my own materials and I may be jumping the gun on this one, buuuuut...I would like to create a linked mesh material (see upload). Each individual link is a ring.

So, how would I go about achieving this?

Thanks!

I suggest maybe some modeled solution, based on your 3D app, for best quality.
Otherwise take your image, align it in your image editor and work it out to be tilable, then create a alpha map based on it.
As a material I suppose a Phong material with using your texture for specular Reflectivity.

Here a Blender Tutorial, maybe you can apply the steps in your 3D app: http://cgcookie.com/blender/2012/08/09/ ... n-blender/
