thanx. what thread? got a link?

 

Hey technics, thats a pretty tight idea you had, Ill finish it up for you, or atleast ill try

Alsoo, check out what I did last night in 5 minutes ( I LOVE CF, also debadged and headlight flares)

 

check out that CF detail, i love it

 

aerostar, looks good.... i use KPT to do my lense flares, and as far as the carbon fiber goes, try to make it a lot darker, especially for that picture

 

hmm good point

also, technics, heres that pic, its not that great but whatever

 

If I may be honest here, that really doesnt look like carbon fiber at all.That looks more like dark grey stripes.Carbon fiber is not that symetrical.The fibers move and change direction and order all across a hood depending on what angle and distance you are looking at it.Check out some real CF hoods, especially in person and notice their movement.A good filter to help break up the monotony and add some movement to the CF is the TWIRL filter.You are on the right track I think it can be better thats all.And yes, I saw you only worked on it for five minutes.Once you get CF down you can make it on anything in a minute or less.

 

trance is right. twirl filter that texture it helps

 

alright thanks

i really do need to go and see some real CF hoods in person. ive seen some on the road, and a few in person. but none lately

 

I haven't been to this forum in a while! I see you put on a CF hood but what I was having trouble with was blending the lower right part of the bumper near the front wheel well. It's too different shades of gray.
