Best and easiest thing to do is use a bitmap in the transparency channel. That way you don't need to model the mesh. Just get a bitmap with dots and map this to the transparency slot in your 3d app. Change the size as needed to get smaller dots. If you scroll through the posts int eh Radio challenge you will see I asked this very question as I wasn't sure how others were doing it. Have a look, Psycho Mantis even created ready to use map to make it easier.
