3D Rendered Helmet Tutorial

[andrewhartin]

quick question: how do you do stripes on the side view revo?

I cant get the revolution links to open correctly to change them

[nivrag69]

Figured out how to manipulate the layers on the revo template. You just need to change the fill (color box) for that particular element. For example if you want to change the visor color, just click the layer then go to Edit then click Fill then where the Contents box is, double click color and the color gradient should pop up then change to whatever color you like. I am working on creating the individual layers like the older ones. I'll let you know once I'm done. Looks like Frasier made masks for the individual components (easier to change colors that way i guess).

Frasier, on the first helmet posted if I rotate the canvas Horizontal the word Ridell becomes backwards. I've looked for it in the layers to turn it off but can't find it??

[andrewhartin]

for some reason i am just getting a single layer and a background it is not letting me alter anything

Help's on the way. Here's my first revo template hat.

I am coming up with crap that looks like this is this right?

[nivrag69]

Andrew, whats wrong with it? Looks good to me. What are you using to manipulate the files again? Only thing I saw was the the logo looked sort of flat and one of the screws was painted red (both exetremely minor in my opinion). Just keep playing with the this stuff and experimenting you find IT! Do you still want the files broken down?

Here's my problem:

I have no way of un-grouping the layers. That might be because i am running an old version of photoshop elements, but there must be some sort of solution to this.

[andrewhartin]

that one is not going to work you need to go back to the ones on page 21, download them to elements (I assume) to to the far right of the layer (colour) u will see a pencil with a mark through it. right click then simplify layer, you will see a template like the one that the regular templates had, then move that layer to the very top of the layer order you will see where it lets you change colors and add logo's and stuff, change it there then when you are done simply move the "colour" back down to where it was.

[hailstateunis]

I know, I've been using the older revolution template for over a year now. I was wanting to try that particular one because it looks nicer, IMO.

[andrewhartin]

well then i am having the same problem as you are

[nivrag69]

Looks like youre cooking now! As for the visor, I dont about elements, but in photoshop there is a group folder that you can open up to see the fill (color) for the visor and you would change that the same way you changed the others. I don't like the revo speed helmet as much the angle its at make it look sort of distorted to me the layers are on point though it looke very real but I figure if I can manipulate enough layers i can make the old revo pop as well.

How did you get the sparkle affect on the SF helmet?

[hugevolsfan]

I would say he added some noise
