How to create a super fine wireframe with low poly? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2oPC4ytFrE
As you can see on the Ironman nanomachine suit, during the transformation, there is a very fine wireframe being formed before the shell forms around it. Currently, I don't have a way to increase the amount of wires without also increasing the resolution of the mesh, so I'm asking, is there a way to create a super fine wireframe using textures, or a way to create more edges without increasing the polycount, sort of like hair children.
You could try something like this - material only, no geometry.

All it is really, is a mix of two separate Wave Textures (on different axes), clamped by ColorRamps to make sharper &quot;ridges&quot;. I softened the effects of the procedural textures (noise and wave) in a few places using MixRGB nodes, mixed with white, and I ran the (multiplied) result of the 2 Wave textures through a Bump Node and into the Normal input of the Principled BSDF.
I slightly warped the input vector using a Noise Texture so the result isn't so &quot;gridlike&quot;, and I mixed a bit of Ambient Occlusion shadow effect to make the ridges &quot;pop&quot; even more.
