been working with the carrera gt lately (may post it later for c&c) but i've been wanting to do a few different things with it and am just not coming up with anything halfway decent, i'll try to halfway describe this to where you can get a mental picture, front of the car is angled to the right and down from the rear, (basic front bumper and right side shot)
i've been trying to make a reflection of the car but i'm running into some problems since because of this car's angle, the simple flip a copy of the image and erase/opacity trick isn't cutting it, i've tried free transformation with skew, perspective and distort but not really getting anywhere, any tricks i could use to help with that?
second off the image i used was a grayscale, so when colorized it's got that...."dull" look about it, any tricks to give it a more reflective/waxed up look? <----could use this trick to create a couple of backgrounds too, give the floor a "shiny" look.
i know one answer would be to just start off with a better image but if it's possible to manipulate it with THIS image, it would prolly help me in the long run with other such images, thx in advance! :cool:
