Translucent / frosted Glazing ?

[Anonymous]

So I want to create a partitioning wall in a reaustraunt. I think that a glass wall will be a good choice but I don't want the glazing to be transparent for obvious reasons.

How can I make the glass translucent or ' frosted ' similar to the image below ( not my image )

Thank You

Show me the channels.

What file format is the image?

Its a .tif file.

I'm assuming there needs to be more channels as I only have one... ( greyscale ) ?

Thank You

What else could be causing the problem... Still not managed to get it working.

I've got it working - Here's a screen-capture of the material (surface settings).
I'll post the actual 'polka-dot' files next

Polka-dot file below. The PNG file format allows for transparency without being as bloated as a TIF. It's white dots, with a transparent background... which is white, so you'll have to trust me - it's there.
Just right-click and save as...

Looks like it's set up to tile easily.
I'll give it try later.
Thanks dv_chris

If you drag the mouse across the middle, it will highlight the image area, to set up for the "save as".
(Also seems to open OK in Paint.net)
