Creating A Brake Rotar. This tutorial will show you how to create a realistic brake rotar.
Step 1:
Lets take this stock RSX rotar and spice it up with a performance rotar and caliper.
Step 2:
Here is our performance rotar and caliper. Lets use the polygon lasso tool and go around what we want to cut out of the picture. Then choose Edit/Copy and then Edit/Paste on the stock RSX rotar picture.
Step 3:
Your image should now look like this. The rotar is a little big so we will have to shrink it down to make it fit.
Step 4
To shrink it we will need to use the distort tool. Edit/Transform/Distort.
Step 5:
Once you kind of have your performance rotar where you want it it will be over top of the stock RSX rim. We need to change that by using the polygon lasso tool on your first layer and go around the parts of the rim. We are doing this because we are going to place this new layer above the performance rotar. Once you have it selected like I have in the below picture choose Edit/Copy and then Edit/Paste.
Step 6:
You will then need to drag the new layer above the peformance rotar and caliper layer.
Step 7:
Now your image should look something like this.
Step 8:
Now using the distort tool again lets make the new rotar look like it actually fits. This will give it a realistic angle. Play around a bit until you have what you like.
Step 9:
Once in place we are going to change the levels of the rotar a bit so it looks like the same light array behind the stock rim. Choose Image/Adjustments/Levels. Play around again with the level values until you have what you desire.
