Hi gain-concern,

Perhaps use the RS Object Tag> Particles, with the MoGraph Matrix, to get these detailed results without any render bottleneck.

I have used a simple material, but the key is that the Noise is set to World like the Zink-coating would look with that Grating.

Render the scene, and you should notice how fast it is.

Two objects are available, beveled or simple.

As a side note:
My initial tip with Bevel was based on the guessing (missing the image) that it was perhaps based on the German term "Grat" (English Burr). Before I studied Architecture, I went to a Metal/Electric school, and in our practical assignments, we had to get the Grat (Burr) off the Steel edges. (entgraten).
Since I have gotten questions from all over the world in the past two decades, I often have to go with a guess. But yes, your term was absolutely correct.

All the best

Thank you very much, public-mix, for your reply.

Yes, project files speak to me. Yesterday, seventeen years ago, I joined Cineversity, and some procedures have been shaped over the years based on their proven workability.

Thanks for understanding; very much appreciated.

You're very welcome, Larson Monkey.

My idea is always to test things when I suggest them. So to leave the "brainstorming" about Hair is not my ideal.

Here is the file with an idea to create the Net. But also, since you mentioned simulation and the idea of keeping the structure intact while doing simulations with it.

Enjoy.
