Scale Scale Factor 1
Width Proportional square width 0.8
Height Proportional square height 0.8
Grid Size Thickness of the grid “walls” 0.2
Transparency Transparency of the grid 0 0 - 1, with 0 being completely opaque

The Wrapped Grid shader can be used, for example, when emulating a translucent curtain and its appearance against different surfaces and light.

Note:
  • The parameter values in the example are: Scale 0.0002, Width 0.022, Height 0.022 Grid Size 0.04 and Transparency 0.
  • To be visible in visualization, the transparency features require at least the Full rendering method. The rendering method is selected from the model window's Shading settings.
