In this brief tutorial, I will go over the basics of creating a diamond pattern grip, as seen on flashlights, muzzles and various other hard-surface related objects. It's a neat and fast way to add some additional detailing to your models without a lot of extra effort.

For the tutorial, I will be using Autodesk's 3Ds Max 2014, but you can use any version you wish, or any other program - However I can't guarantee that the workflow will be the same in other modeling packages.
