Painted Wavy Metal Mesh
During my only free summer for the next 4 years of college, I have decided to make random images I find on google into materials using Substance Designer. To start the "Summer of Substance" as I am calling it, I stumbled upon a painted metal mesh which looked interesting enough to try. Feel free to give constructive feedback, as I am still learning as I go.

The holes were more straight forward. Using the Gaussian_2 node provided exactly the correct pattern of dots for the mesh holes
