Ok, I can help you out:
Crop your car, and make a layer out of it. Then copy it on the picture to have two same cars, go to free transform, flip it vertically, adjust blending...
That should be it

Ofcourse, all modifying reffers to the cropped layer.

If you want me to, I'll be happy to help you, just send me the car pic, and you'll get it back with reflection

AngelSiN · Post by **AngelSiN** » 22 Apr 2005, 11:13

No, i want to learn how to make it...

Triskac · Post by **Triskac** » 22 Apr 2005, 16:05

actually it is more difficult as you have to brush somehow the edge of the car and reflection of the front/rear bumper is really hard to make coz just flipped picture doesnt look very realistic. i was thinking about using trainer and snaping the car from bottom when its in the air, then u can make really realistic reflection. must try it

Actually it's very simple. You just have to use 2 layers, some gaussian blur around the edge of the flipped car, and that's about it. Just pay attention to layer orders, I'll post a pic soon to show.

Don't forget the opacity off the layer.

Triskac · Post by **Triskac** » 22 Apr 2005, 20:09

actually i was thinking about mirror reflection with 100% opacity

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 22 Apr 2005, 20:34

Could work but if you lower your opacity with a few procent it might look better( i think, didn't test it yet)

Triskac · Post by **Triskac** » 22 Apr 2005, 20:58

yeah, sure you cant leave 100%. i just tried to say that i want to make reflection which would look realistic even with maximal opacity, so the blurness and high invisibility wont hide unrealistic look of it

I donÂ´t know if you are talking about reflections of the car on the road. If it is so I usethis tutorial as a guide. It works the best for me.
