nivrag69 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 First of all I use an older version of Paint Shop Pro so Photoshop users may or may not be familiar with the terminology but I know the layers are pretty similar. Secondly, this technique will work on the template I use I'm not certain if it will with other templates. But you may be able to apply similar steps and get the same effect if you play around with the layers enough.To get the matte finish effect you have to blur the layers used for highlights, namely the Ambient and Specular layers. What I found works best is to copy both of those layers then turn the old layers off and work with the newly copied layers. Also turn off the Reflection layer. Use a Gaussian Blur with a radius between 10 - 20 percent to get a decent blur. Once you do that for both layers. Copy them again. Now you have four new layers. Change the Blend mode on one of the Ambient layers to Dodge then adjust the Opacity level for both Ambient layers to whatever suits you. Next change the Blend Mode on one of the Specular layers to Luminance and once again adjust the Opacity levels of both layers to your liking. That should about do it.Note: blurring will drastically lower the level of detail (specifically fine lines and fine highlights) in layer being modified. So you may want to find a way to "merge" old and new levels to retain the finer details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nivrag69 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Thanks Fraser I really appreciate the comment especially coming from you! And thanks for such a great template too. You've given whole bunch of people a great creative outlet. Hated to see your deviant art site shut down. Hope to see some more excellent work from you soon.

Briton93 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi there! What is your DeviantArt name? I was trying to look for the file you mentioned you would upload in the .psd file.Thanks!His name was "rezland" but his user name was cancelled or something. Here are links to some of his .PSD templates on DeviantArt....http://rezland.deviantart.com/art/Nike-Pro-Combat-Template-4-168700768http://rezland.deviantart.com/art/Revolution-Speed-Template-280301179http://rezland.deviantart.com/art/V2-Revolution-Helmet-2-180349455http://rezland.deviantart.com/art/Nike-Pro-Combat-Template-146627819http://rezland.deviantart.com/art/Nike-Pro-Combat-Template-5-192148057http://rezland.deviantart.com/art/Basketball-Template-183286425 His page is gone, if somebody any of these templates can you share them??-thanks in advanceWould anyone have suggestions on how to remove/suppress the chinstrap? I use GIMP, so not sure if this is a function lost during conversion. IMO, I prefer helmet usage without the chinstrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windsorpg Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Just tried for hours to do this, lol. I still have no clue what i'm doing. I'm brand new to photoshop and would rather not throw my computer at the wall out of frustration. If anyone would be cool enough to make one for me that'd be awesome.

tforbes2011 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Did anyone ever find out how to get a chrome layer for a helmet? Instead of pasting a chrome object and making the layer "overlay" Follow me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/bigeasyconcepts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of pasting a chrome object and making the layer "overlay" I've found that the approach can differ slightly, depending on what you are trying to reflect. In most cases, I use a base color, then place a layer (slightly increased contrast) as a grain merge or addition, then another color as an addition. Finally, I apply an extra layer which provides some extra sheen. I created the last layer mentioned by distorting the color lines. Hope this helps!
