Any tips on what to do for the front bumper are all welcome im not that sure about the way it looks just now

[chopperkidd44]

First there are some serious issues to fix to make this better. I'm not flaming but just pointers cuz i like seeing people improve

1. Rear whee needs to be tilted clockwise. Chamber is wrong. Same with the front a tiny nudge

2. Don't knwo if you know but you're missing a shadow under the car

3. the truck bed angle wrong. Although sometimes it may not look right but if the car is sitting flat like it is, the tailgate top should be 100% horizontal and flat. Yours curves up

Lets see these fixed on the new update. That'll help tons cuz this looks cool

I think you should be gratefull you got any. That's a very interesting color. The front wheel seems like the center cap is off-center (no pun)

I think its just the way the wheels are since they bend into the centre.

Trust me 20 views can come just from guests. Sometimes you just get threads that either people aren't interested in or you just get tons of visitors and some of the members haven't seen them

On one forum my impreza has near 100+ views and probably 3/4 of the posts on it are mine of like 10 maybe

[justiceh2o]

Just thought i would update a little see what you think.

looking good, but you made some of the mistakes i did on some of my other chops. try to make behind the door straight. looks a little wierd. and try to blend in the front bumper line more, where it joins with the fender. as for the bumper, dont no how to explain it. so here:http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/1276/volvov502008unfinished2.jpg oh and get rid of the hyundai symbol on the wheels.

[blackace]

Basically what he means is the bumper is to streak so it needs smoothing out more ( i think thats what he means anyway) :D

[zoomypup]

yeah basically. try brushing it, or requesting someone to brush it.

[chopperkidd44]

Getting better. I could always brush it if needed.

Also those wheels still gotta get rotated a bit like i said in my first post

[justiceh2o]

I rotated them a little do you think they could do with a little more i now need to redo my last update pic as i didnt save it in photoshop form only jpeg.

I couldnt find a suitable doner for the front end but do want it changed so anybody feel free to take the picture and do what you wish with it.

[chopperkidd44]

Heres what i did quickly and roughly to help ya out. The truck bed should be choped up a little redone to fit the lines a drew. I've done a few trucks so trust me haha

I rotated the wheels so the sit right. Don't always align them by the fenders. Judge by eye. Also i used the burn tool on 20% on highlights a few time on the tops of the wheels to shadow it under the fenders

Also i didn't do it but the front wheel may need to shrink. it looks slightly larger than the front and thats causing it to fall out of sitting line with the car. The line should be parallel to the flat end of the side skirt if its a standard skirt. Then line up the wheels


Last thing, try to learn to use pen tool. Go to the paths tab by the layers, hit the new path everytime you use a new one. Then just train to use it and make selections with 0.5 feather radius so there no jagged edges everywhere.


Hope these help. Haven't gotten to the lip yet but start here :) Keep it up dude!

yeah for donors, i use 0.3-0.5. Brushing can be anywhere from 0.5-1.0
