I have an object that's 3 dimensional and I'd like to add a realistic reflection. I've seen a tut for doing this with a vehicle. It's not the same as making type reflections or something that sits flat on one plane. In the case of getting a realistic reflection for a vehicle, it would also show the undercarriage. Anyway, I can't find a tut. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Thanks, Mikey. Colin's great. Funny thing is he has an image of a vehicle, like I was talking about, and the caption "Realistic Reflections" -- so I started to get excited like yea, this is it -- but once linked it's on making type reflections!

So all you superstars out there...and you know WHO you are...please and thank you!

Looked thoroughly through Rey's portfolio. He's very wiley. Most posts, under these conditions, he's cleverly elongated the shadow, giving it a long soft, ambiguous shadow.

BUT on
Page 12, Antique Stove, Rey's so deftly exemplified just what I'm looking for.

Thanks Mikey, Thank you, Scion and THANKS Rey.

You're all Superstars in my book! Very Happy

Your very presence invokes, in some, the overwhelming desire to thank you every now and then. Laughing

This from NAPP...

You can't reflect a surface that's not in the original shot -- you
have to create it from scratch or copy from another image. If you
have a static shot of an auto and want to show the reflection of the
undercarriage in a puddle, you have to create an undercarriage or
copy/paste from another image -- the original image doesn't have
anything from which to work.
You may find this three-part series helpful as you create
reflections:
