Custom cabinet front

[sweetmelissa]

I need to replicate the panel on the attached picture for some "locker" cabinets I am doing.  Any suggestions on the best way to achieve this? It will be made out of a mesh kind of material with the X designs out of metal I believe.  Just as long as it looks similar to the pic... doesn't have to be exact.  I don't think the "button/circles" are necessary.  Hoping there is something simple-ish.  Thank you.

Cabinet with a glass door panel, change the glass material. Some suppliers of mesh etc, have images on line to use as a starting point. That particular mesh is (hand$) made in England, I don't remember if the British sites or American distributors have the image.

THANK YOU!! :))

Give this a try: panelmesh.calibz

 

Renders pretty well, though you may need to play with it a bit. No circles at the intersections, though:

Back at computer, this has circles but not as clean as Roberts. Couldn't find the old ones I did a few years back, nor could I find the distributor I used on line. A quick fast down and dirty.

Here is what I came up with... I think it'll do. It's a pic of the actual grill/mesh used in the pic I posted originally.  Robert, your's looks even better.  I added it to my library, but it wouldn't open it (due to it being created with X10, it said). Thanks again to both of you.

Melissa, your solution looks very nice. Sorry that I missed your signature - I hadn't realized you were on X9. Anyway, I took on the challenge of creating the buttons, just as a personal exercise. This is in X10, but maybe it will be useful in the future: panelmeshwithbuttons.calibz

 

It renders well at a distance, and up close it's acceptable, but the normal and bump mapping could use more work. If you're interested in trying to recreate this in X9, here are the loose image files and settings (I think X9 won't have the Normal Map and Ambient Occlusion Map):
