finished a subtile paint scheme for my latest project...ill do some other paint schemes for it soon!
Hope you like it, alot of brushing went into the design for this truck!
anyone have some advice to making brushed windows more realistic?...i want to simulate Black tint but not sure how to make it realistic looking...thanks!

if your going for realistic I think that the windows are the least of your worries, expect for the wheels the entire thing looks like a cartoon

It does look unrealistic
but for the windows - have you tried to paint them with less than 100% capacity

GREAT IDEAS !!!....a bit TOO uh....crisp.
Cuz they have NO air between the point of view, ...and the car !!
...understand ?
Atomoshere...refelction...LIGHT, SHADOW...like THAT.
Think that is why peeps are sayin it looks "unrealistic"....it's a FOCUS thing.
2 much is 2 much FOCUS...I get pissed at all the time about "BLUR"
...is what you NEED on this !

Ergh, dont listen to MRDETROITMETAL, the clean lines and perfect fit of all the parts are exactly what HE lacks.
Top Chop, just whack some good reflections on there and you have a winnah!

Look at the original, it didn't really have any of that what you are blabbing about.
I would buy that truck if they made it. Nice chop.
Yeah i agree with everyone except MRDETROITMETAL.
The unrealistic look is gained hrough a lack of reflection. I am not very good at this whole chopping thing so i am not sure how you would acheive this. For example on the back of the white van where therethe arrow(ish) graphic comes on from the side if you introduce some reflection, or distort the travel of the graphic (if you know what i mean) it will look more like it is turning a corner. Hope that helps... :)

Better, but me thinks the reflections should reflect the surrounding buildings with a much crisper, clean reflection, perhaps a straight c + p of the original with a bit of distoring? I KNOW you can easily find donors for reflections off numerous sites, twill look much better.
