HELP! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I need some help to learn creating shadows.
Post by: lostboyz on June 15, 2006, 11:22:00 AM
what I do generally if its something straight forward like that is duplicate the layer, color overlay of black/ little bit of blue. I use the transform tools to get it to the right perspective. Then gaussian blur till I get the softness of the edges i want then change the opacity till it works right. Sounds easier than it is, I usually make shadows 3 or 4 times before Im happy with one.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) That was kind of a lame attempt at shadows, eh? I'm trying to create the "wheelie" look.

What does the text say? "Street is Neat"? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
Oooops! Y'all are probably too young to remember that. Something I re-conjured out of the early '70s. Street is Neat is something from the hot rodder / street rodder crowd. Just a retro phrase.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I actually remember guys who did this to their cars!!! Even back then...they were losers!!
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Maybe I ought to change it, eh?
