Chain mail in the European 4-in-1 weave

In your harnessProcedural textureMIT

Generate tileable PBR maps of chain mail in the European 4-in-1 weave with alpha gaps: tilted rings in staggered rows, each passing over two neighbours and under two, in bright steel, blackened steel, brass or rusty iron. Use for armour, curtains, fantasy props and costumes.

Limits. Rings are flat annuli with a round wire profile, tilted in alternating rows; the over and under is resolved per pixel by height, not by true 3D geometry, so deep overlaps and silhouettes are approximate. The gaps need alpha scissor. Contact shadows are darkened by hand rather than traced. Occlusion is a blurred-height estimate, not ray traced.
