How do I make a grid pattern on a glass ?

Post by Agalon »

Hello everyone, I'm a early begginer on Anime Studio and i'd like to know how I can make a grid pattern on a glass : More precisely, I wan't to do a white grid (100% opacity) on a white rectangle that has 25% of opacity. I have already tried to draw separately the lines but they are too small and don't show up in the preview window. On the other side this method seems a bit tricky and irregular so I was also wondering if there is an easier and more "computerized" way to do this.

Thanks :)

Create rectangle with transparency. Create 1 white line. Put on top.
Select line, use line width tool to adjust. Render. Repeat until you like the width.
Copy and paste line to create grid.

Thanks for the answer, so I was doing the right method. I restarted Anime Studio and the rectangle seems to appear fine in the render view so that's cool !
