right one, so that it fits real in compare to the left one. Where is the darkest and where
is the most bright spot. Hope somebody can help me a lil bit, so i can finally post the big UP

Hi Folks...

i am getting sick of this fucked up perspective.
Everthing i have mounted looks imho buckled and aslope.
I have no idea, that this perspective is the reason for
my stucked situation. I am - this close to delete this WIP.
Can please somebody help me and draw into my pictre here
a real vertical line or something that helps me to go on
further...


Thanx

I sorry for my style o´writing, but im realy pissed and frustrated

the intercooler needs raising on the left side as you look at the chop, thats why it looks out
and the reason the lights look a bit wonky, is that your ''horizontal'' line is the same angle as the car it needs to be rotated slightly anticlockwise
then the rear looks messy, try cleaning it up because atm its a bit jagged
plus the front looks a bit off, try readjusting the front bumper slightly more left using perspective because it looks weird
hope this helps you mate

The Problem is, that this car is wrong on every part.

I will restart comlpete....
1st i will try to center the car horizontally...
I have lots of Parts, that i want to mount....

The thing with the colour and blurry side / rear...
I have no clue ( and no skils ) how to brush. Maybe i am to old for this ^^

Light is the mainfaktor, if somthing mounted on the car
to look wrong. If you brush alot, you have everytime the same angle
for the light.

Well dont know how to manage this, but i try my best..

You don't need to brush the side to make it look better. Whip out the smudge tool and smudge away the jpg acne (the blurry bit which make the small shapes look distorted).

Or try the Surface blur filter on it to see if it handles it right. It should do it just fine.

Now there are shapes as the one on the side starting from the front wheel arch and going all the way to the rear door. When you want to smoothen these out but still maintain their sharpness, take out the pen tool and make a path surrounding the actual shape you are going to work on. In this image the darker color which is the shadow under the shape thingy is the one you want to fix a little because that is why the shape is visible in the first place. The edge of your path should go closely on the shape's edge. Then just convert it to selection with a suitable feather value. Now you need to take a similar color as the darker area and just carefully brush along the edge of your selection to have the edge look better instead of a wonky line like it is now. Carefully because you ONLY want to brush the lighter part between the edge of your selection and the existing shadow. You're just making more shadow in there and smoothening out the shape while you're at it.
