Ideas to draw hockey net

[bbaisley]

I am starting my first 3D project in a few weeks for school, and I am trying to get some ideas on how to start.

I have to draw a hockey rink for my project. The rink itself I don't think will be too hard (a rectangle with rounded corners), but the goal net and meshing is what I am worried about.

What would be the best way to add the meshing to the piped net frame?

Also, how do I make the ice surface look like ice, but still be able to see the red/blue lines beneth?

If someone can help me with this, that will be a good start for me. Any online tutorials that you think might be of interest regarding this project will also be welcomed greatly!

Thanks

Do a search for a "chain link fence" tutorial, you'll be able to adopt it for a net.
If you'd like, e-mail me and I'll send you a small (113kb) zipped chain link fence scene.
