" Pixel perfect is brought to you -- and godaddy.com. Yeah. Hi and welcome to another episode of its -- mean per month. Show were actually all kinds stuff. That paperwork here. Starting at just three dollars and 99 cents. That's how much -- web hosting it code daddy dot com. That includes 99%. Up time 247. Support and free access to metropolis. Deep place to install over 33 applications should help you. Get the most out of your hosting plan. And your website. And if value and connect code if you are asking and to pixels six. When you check out you'll save an additional 20%. On any. Twelve or 24 months posting plan. That is about to fine print -- right -- that -- so now let's talk about -- This other a lot of people requested case in Bora and -- Bono also thought about reflections. C a lot of reflections out a number of some years back to drop shadow was the big thing that's reflections. Sections down below Apple's use them a lot and era and era conferencing calls -- function on the table for the fact that some Chinese. I'll talk about reflections and lot of ways of creating reflections. Sometimes. We could just be a simple -- I'm gonna merit pay you to think that based it'll flip horizontal. Got a reflection. -- that there happens to be underneath. You can't just do the vertical. It needs to be some modification -- things like that. On the here you would see departments in the bottom and knows she's going there and modified whatever been -- to make it look right. Question studying reality mentioned them many times look at things around to study how things were you know be able to reproduce. As straight on reflections I got here my screen here. This happens your first paying had been once and moved to California it's a scene in California. Now if you get in real close you'll see that there's any up. The reflection in the window right there. But only if you can see it right the if you that. It is made in my head is my elbow is by Mike on camera I was using at the time back in 91994. So did the -- section here if we look at early version of this -- Right here. And we zoom in that same area. We'll see what that reflection looks like now it's kind of soft and there. It wasn't. I have a lot of detail no need a lot of detail why because the fact that -- that really going to see that much stuff in there. On here and look at that reflection by itself there it is a bit out there called reflection gonna bring -- back up at a percent. It's just a bunch of old paint that nothing fancy just as -- of what the object is once you see it in the scene. Right here. You see that it's just a fatal and the reflection. In the scene now some cases. Are you could just take an existing image. And has put it into a layer and we'll flip on it so the words of backwards and so on look at this scene option where -- did exactly that. In this particular painting here another -- This is a few years later but this scene here is -- open hills but here in California. Now I want to look at the reflection in this window right here are getting close and we -- that infection look at it carefully and you see that that infection. Is that they pane right there. That to paying the one place and used as a reflection somewhere else reported down -- capacity. Flip horizontal on -- of the words or reverse and it became a perfect reflection there. -- questioned going in there modifying some object in turning into deflection. So much to do now is create one of the reflections I don't see in. And like the Apple. Conferencing and so and so what not a product that you see a lot of product shots that this really cool. Affectionately -- that placed on top of the shiny surface. I got this little investment and yes -- the Google in with plug at my new book which comes out and people use the cover of that to create. A nice Croatia. Glory shot meaning that shot that."
" Going to introduce that product so. In Korea another file here. Create new and let's make it -- Myth that went make it would -- these numbers make it 600 wide 800 high. And click OK I get this little scene here the open this up. And it has some cause that's get this nice deep blue straight here. That sort of foreground color from my background color use a and and select a little rectangle down here to sites so that -- of services service the people. Right in the -- little gradient. It's like that game now I gotta and you agree and it's it's been up there ago and any media. Well we've got. Certain type of selection. Integrated happening this from happening. And if do about it there goes nice simple Linear gradient. I don't convert selection. I mean everything else is going to be select. And to change that black to a kind of idea. Coolidge who like that reverses that that's the foreground color with a radial gradient that's just the home and like that. They're designed -- spotlight we've back. Intimacy wanted to bring the book that is a book you know as the front cover. And the spine there's a -- so wouldn't that gives us a little -- would take this and drag it right into the scene here. Now it's much bigger and we need -- going and scale it. So dumb idea shift key to constrain the scaling it was scaled down to a size that we want forearm -- that there like. Good that looks good so now. Are right -- line is a little lower right so we're kind of looking. Up at this book. -- distort this -- that look. Of dimension like we're looking at the side of the books on the select this whole front part of book right here. This front side. And I'm gonna do a -- transform and distort. Pulled aside and make that and this site up. -- like this in this pull them and it gets narrower because Google for shortening it happening in the -- And we'll just kind of shortness top five -- Click OK. Now take these fine and select the spine area right here. And -- that in the opposite direction. And as they transform. Distort. It -- went down and this one. Think that. Now. We've added dimensions of a book it's -- that their dimension it's going into the scene salute to the flat image. Now we want to -- that reflection down enough. -- what I do is that populated thousand who have moved closer and take that layer and duplicate that the second. One -- back here when back do little flip vertical. And would drag it down. Straight down -- that they -- But as you can see because the fact that I distorted it important to dimension when that a foot vertical that separation -- ago. It works great as a nice little reflection but. It's not perfect because the tactic that is big gap in here so I have to go in here and distort this after the start to somebody get the right effect. So don't take that. Select this side of the book. That's like that's thats what a little bit let's take both of these. And -- we have a lot of room to play with -- that -- that I'm gonna select this front section of the book. Just negative report -- section gets elected. And an extra month in just that reflection and the states can do this time. I'm going to skew. The front half the book and bring it up until it matches up with the top portion right there. An Internet make that happen and that had to do the same thing to be spine of the book. -- go in here and that's to select this whole little area right there and we'll scheme that. In the opposite direction going up. Match up with that side there. And to make that happen so now that take both of again and bring it back down into position. About night that. And do infection infection of brain capacity of thing that just a little sort of start to see the blue going through a site that. And also. We want to make it look like again a lot of restrictions we've seen commercial ads and stuff like that fade away. Towards the bottom wanted to I'm gonna give this -- have mask. And that -- have mask. And -- radiant. Green right here gone from black to white. And why did the arrow received back ever -- just own -- down that area and a if you happen we have Kenneth. Nice -- reflection here. Where we've created glory shot we go to full screen easy to see what happens and everything it. Three dimensional book. That started out of the fact piece that we distorted the given that their dimension. And we put on nice shiny surface with a reflection -- me it's just a question of modifying that reflection that it looks like a real reflection. How do you do that. Look at things study reality see how it works make a little model for yourself study how things work and athlete and get. Could reflection that looks believable. Hope you learn something from this this file of this book will be on the website revision3.com. And download this you can do this so preferably. Do something with your own stuff. Get a picture of focus something scanners scan besides that you can twist and make a three dimensional object out of it and create reflections. -- something from this -- play. That's prisoners assistant play. See you next week."
