Agreed.. If only your photoshop skills were as good as your creativity.

@korge:The skills will come...

I just need alot of practice.
@Pooty Tang: I still havn't figured out how to do a shadow underneath a car

. I've tried the burn-tool and the brush-tool. But it never looks real with those.

And I thought I made all the decals in the perfect angle

I know about that bit. I couldn't remove the original background in the windows.

heres my progress

Nice job, but the windows are too dar, and you've darken the whole car too much, and now it doesn't really match the lighting in the environment.

Btw hows, mine, everyone seemed to have ignored it in the previous page, surely it ain't that bad people

I've kinda messed up on the strips, and I made the rims far too bif, and its overal a messy job, well it was kinda rushed i guess.

Change the rims color, and the vinyls don't lok very real. Otherwise good

S2000_Skyline12 · Post by **S2000_Skyline12** » 23 Jul 2005, 22:43

well at least i can probaly say that mines will at least get one vote

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 23 Jul 2005, 23:05

how can i make the vinyls look more real, any suggestions, btw i have Photoshop...

S2000_Skyline12 · Post by **S2000_Skyline12** » 23 Jul 2005, 23:08

mabye overlay or multiply

-hidden- · Post by **-hidden-** » 23 Jul 2005, 23:33

make the vinyl in a seprate layer and press overlay.
also btw, the vinyl looks edgy so try to smoothen it or somthing

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 24 Jul 2005, 00:52

ok i did the overlay thingy, which looks nice

but i can't be bothered fixing everything else.

korge · Post by **korge** » 24 Jul 2005, 01:42

Nice... The rim looks weird in the wheel well, but very good qaulity overall.

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 24 Jul 2005, 02:00

I know, i made them too big, i havn't left much room for the tire... dam that is gonna be one bumpy ride

but i can't be bothered fixing it anyway.

Not all of the hood is carbon fibre.

It's very nice, though, very clean.

You didn't really chop. that much on the car. Only made some parts darker and 2 decals.

@Pooty Tang: I really like that CF-bonnet. The FB + intercooler are very good. But the sideskirts don't seem to fit.

Pooty Tang · Post by **Pooty Tang** » 24 Jul 2005, 12:19

thanks

side skirt fixxed and a few realy subtle mods added.

not to mention they look pretty bad, it is in total contrast to the light in the environment.

master m - just had a closer look at your chop, it would be so much better if you had the execution right and no decals, the ideas are there. Delete all the black areas under the
car and be careful around the tyres. get quite a large but suitable black blur brush not the solid one and shade where necessary. make sure it does not look like its floating and make it look like its actually on the ground. this is is the tricky part.

Change the rims, bodykit, window tint, maybe a different color,...

did you try using the polygonal lasso tool to mak the vinyls?
If you do than they shold come out much straighter
