How do I make reflections similar to those I have circled in the pictures?

Thanx CP 4 this Threat.

Currently i am stuck on my biggest Project.
The Basics and Mods are finished, but i really
get sick, cause i cant finish it, that it look
more shiny...

I read somewhere a tutorial about these reflections, what I remember is you take a white pencil and draw some lines around the places that your want, and then use the smudge tool to smudge over it so that you get the result you want. Hope this helps.

Exactly what tuneR97 said ^
Hello.
Yeah, i also know this Tut, but the problem i got is,
how do i know, what place is right, and what place is wrong.
I mean, how does it look real. I also know, that this depends
on the new Background. Kinda hard to me......

Well, for me, I just play around with the blending options and also layer opacity to make it looks alright.

In general the smudge line reflections will look good anywhere... but they tend to look best where the car would be reflecting the sky... so for those parts that you circled on Active design's chops they're sky reflections.

Sometimes using the smudge tool for all the reflections makes the paint look a bit blurry and fake, so mix it up a bit. Try some sharper reflections by selecting an area and then filling it with a darker or lighter colour and then play around with the opacity and blending styles to get something that looks realistic.

One more tip is to make the reflections follow the lines of the car. If there is a bulge in the bodywork you need to make it look like there is one and the way to do this is with the reflections. Good Luck :-d

Thanx Klaus....

Well it is my 5th Project and it is f...king big, with very lots o´
changes. Maybe i blow my mind up with too much improvements...
I will try to finish it and learn 4 the next one. It makes no sense to
restart it over and over again, cause without comments it wont be
better....
