I will enjoy if you can help me on this little problem

In fact i don't know how to order my texture with, color_map etc..


I would like to create some kind of grid, for that i have created a template
( called test_ch.jpg) which is the looking of my grid (black & white
picture)
in my texture i would like that the color 0 (white there) will be fully
transparent, and that all other color (grey and black) will be bump with the
color 'cu_rouille.jpg' image (which is a complete image with details)..

How can i do this?

Well, i still have the possibility to compute that 2 images to create only
one, but i m still stack for assigning to the color 0 the transparency
require ...


Thanks for answering ..

You could try image_pattern which is a very usefull feature (as well as
pigment_pattern)
The following code could do the trick

#declare T_transparent= texture{pigment{color rgbt 1}}
#declare T_rouille = texture {pigment {image_map {"cu_rouille.jpg"
interpolate 4}}}

#declare T_grille= texture {
      image_pattern
      {
            jpg   "test_ch.jpg"
      }
      texture_map
      {
         [0.0     T_transparent]
         [1.0     T_rouille]
      }
   }

The way I read the question, might be a need to change file format type to 
something using only 256 colors or having an indexed "palette" because jpeg 
(or jpg) image files, being non-paletted, won't have a specific index to 
replace with a texture.

Section 3.5.5.3 of the Scene Help describes material_map and that could also 
be useful.
