The Don Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 So I got bored and found a picture I wanted to do something with; I wanted to try and make it like he's looking at a poker table and I think the left side looks okay, but I just can't get the right side to look right, any ideas on how? In case anyone was wondering this is the picture I used for in the glasses. Quote
Skull Candy Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Maybe get a pic of a while Poker table, so It doesn't looked so zoomed in. You get what I mean? Quote
The Don Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 No that's not it, I'm just trying to find a way to make the look more natural in the glasses. Quote
Chillalex Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Im aboutu to leave for uni so I cant do it for you but off the top of my head: Scale Its a little too big, he looks like he'd be right up close to the table. Like, literally, head on the table. Find a more zoomed out pic of it. Or not, if you like the emphasis, but be aware of that Depth of field this can go a long way to selling perspective. As it is, it LOOKS like a flat plane whilst the head is on a tilt. SLIGHTLY blur the right half of the right lense to imitate DoF, but make it a tiny amount. Seriously, not much at all. Curvature again, it LOOKS like a flat plane at the moment. Think of it as a cloth, with an image printed on it. That image is your poker table, and its going to get wrapped around or draped on a shape (the head) Keeping it simple, shapewise, the head is pretty much a cylinder (thats how we block em in in figure drawin) so imagine your cloth around a cylinder... You could either render it applied to a cylinder OR (EASIER way but I've less experience in it) use a distort filter, I'm sure theres a 3D-ify filter in photoshop that can do this. THEN, imagine the same thing but on a more intricate scale - pieces of cloth laid on the sunglasses lenses. Youll need to bend the image slightly around the seams of the lenses - exagerate the form of the lenses. Color darken it a bit as it looks like the reflection is not taking any of the sunglasses' ambient colour. Theres a few other things like skew and yaw that need a quick fix. I'd also suggest maybe overlaying a sunglasses lense image over the top of it, with highlights and stuff, to sell the fact its meant to be a reflection and not a projection. Quote
The Don Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 I worked with cylinder and spherize on the left lens and it looks much better but for somereason the right one won't change when I goto it'd layer and do the same, any idea as to why? Quote
Chillalex Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 nope said, dont have much experience with that tool, I just know its there and what it does Quote
