Gabion Baskets

[Bryan G.]

anyone have a good idea how to create a 3D Gabion Basket?

How much detail do you need?

The basket can be a box with a mesh texture. The filler can be a slightly smaller box with the pebble/rock texture scaled to suit.

Mesh can be image texture from photo of chainlink, or png of 2d mesh drawn in Vectorworks.

Or place a landscape wall, assign a rock texture (scale as nec) and place a planar object in front with the mesh texture, transparent voids.

Or actually model the basket faces with EAPs. That's processor intensive, so model one crossing as a symbol and duplicate it to edges. A separate symbol is needed for the edges.

thanks Benson, wasn't thinking of two parts. Call it a monday.
