Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

          Nice work for a start Maca.

          Main points to note:
          Start with a high resolution base image, thius will help more than anything.
          Secondly, when making selections, use lots of small gaps in oder to maintain smoothness.

          Apart from those 2, the rest just takes practice and learning your own methods really.
          Hope to see some more from you.

                Good effort mate (Y)

                Particularly obvious on the back wheel, before you condense the layers, trace the guard and delete the part of the tyre that extends onto the bodywork.

                Then lower the % of your eraser, or lightly burn the top of the tyre for shadow to make it look like real tuckin' tyre fun

                  Yeah the back wheel is a copy from the front, couldn't be bothered scaling it all over again lol.

                      Sorry Maca, you'll have to imagine it back up high. When I copied it it went all pixelated....meh. (I shouldn't post such sloppy work, but lean right back, and yo'll get what I'm going for.)

                        Good to see a Toyota Aurion on the site for once but good job, I particularly like the lower bumper with the extra grills
