I need something like this:
It doesn't have to have any thickness (so if it looks like a paper with holes it's fine).
How can i do something like that?
I asume it's possible with materials, so that's why i post it here. If it is possible another way then it's also fine.
O yeah, it would be nice if it allows light to go threw.

Re: holes in a surface
Use a dots texture (black with white dots) and connect it in the Trasparency node of the shader (Phong, lambert, Mia, etc...).

Or, when the dimension are known, create the pattern in Illustrator and export/import the file.
Extrude, bevel etc. and be happy.

Re: holes in a surface
The mia_material has no cut out slot, is it named different maybe?
Also to get the depth, is extrude, bevel etc. the only way?
I got it working with a texture now but the shadow of the object itself is like there is no transparency on the object at all.
I can understand why this is the default, but how can i change this?

Re: holes in a surface
You can use displacement for the thickness, though the mesh will need to be subdivided enough:
use one polka dot image for the cutout, and then create a second for the displacement in photoshop by either blurring a duplicate layer or use the handy layer blending outer glow options to make a black glow with different edge bevelling styles. Hat tip to Jules Stevenson for that one.
If you use larger dots and a repeatable pattern you won't get the pixel noise I've got in the image above.

Re: holes in a surface
I usually model 1-4 holes depending on pattern, duplicate polys and snap & move with help of temp pivot, weld boundary vertices, then again with bigger chunk duplicate, snap, move, weld, and so on...and with final shape apply thickness
