Megaman Zero - X's Data Crown

A combination of a material and a mesh particle to simulate X's data-like crown from a Megaman Zero promotional image.

Original Reference Image (Scaled)

My notes and thoughts while translating the image into the texture and particle.

The squares texture, blurred to get rid of the harsh lines. (This image uses a black background so it is visible on ArtStation)

The opacity texture I combined with the square texture to create the fade effect more accurately.
