I need a Photoshop expert

[erik_cz]

Hello,

Here's the deal. Suppose I have two pictures. One of a car, one of a pattern. Is it possible to give the car the pattern in such a way that it looks real? What I want is that the pattern follows the shape of the car and also that the highlights and shadows are respected. I hope this makes sense because I'm not English speaking. Do you think it can be done with Photoshop 7.0 or do I need other software for this? Does anyone knows a good tutorial to do stuff like this?

Regards,

Erik

I have not done this, but here is a tutorial that MIGHT help.

Well, adding the texture is a piece of cake (see pic). However, it seems impossible to make it follow the contours of an object, cloth... etc so the results are pretty poor. I found a site where it's done by making selections and skew the pattern each time. It's a hell lot of work (not that I really care) but most of all you can only do it if the object's shape is too complicated. There's got to be better software to do this. I'm looking for it now.

I'm no expert, but what I think you want is a 3D package?

You are trying to apply a 3 dimensional pattern to a 2 dimensional image?

Maya or Bryce may do the trick, but then you'll have to learn some 3D modelling. However, the final result and the time spent is a lot better and faster than doing it in PS.

Yes, I think I need D software to do this. Been looking on the Net for more info. There's a lot of good 3D software but I think I'll go for this thing called Strata 3D because it has a bit of an Adobe interface and it seems like it's the step between Adobe software and "real" 3D software such as 3D Max.

I think I can help you! If it's not too late.

I need a photoshop expert or a decent facsimile. I need the assistance of someone who can edit photos and make them look realistic. I am willing to pay to have the work done but it HAS to look genuine. The photos will be for my own use and are not to be used illegally. I would do it myself but Microsoft Picture It isn't going to cut it... ha ha ha. Only genuine offers of help need apply. I will have about 25-30 photos (maybe more or less) that need to be edited.. if your work is good then I will refer you to others. Email me with a 'realistic' estimate at blackvyper@yahoo.com


Thanks

Try checking out "The Hidden Manual' or books by Scott Kelby. I'm sure you can achieve what you need using layers and the magnetic lasso functions.

You could try displacement maps... (see your help menu)..

here is a simple example... I started with normal text...
