Stuck!!

Postby todayshorse » Mon Sep 01, 2008 2:55 am

Ive done this before but for the life of me i cant remember quite what i did.........

Im trying to get the coloured stripe to 'bend' up the rear of the fuselage as in the picture within this picture! Im sure its a combination of ctrl+t then somthing else, but everything ive tried warps things, moves it all over or messes it up!!! But ive defo done it before in reverse on a Bcal repaint to get the bend round the nose with some stripes....arrrgh! Its driving me mad... ;D

Hopefully one of you guys will know the answer!

I feel pretty daft right now as im sure its easy ;D

It's not easy to do well

Check out tutorial on paths and editing paths

if you are photoshop the CTRL T will bring you to the transforming and you would need to click the warp but that is not a good way to do it.

Cheers! Yeah ive been checking out tutorials - but discoverd i could do it with the warp function. It certainly wasnt easy but ive got quite a good line now..... :-/

I must have used the paths thing before when it was for a single stripe. Doesnt seem to work so well on this thicker one for some reason. I guess breaking it down back to four stripes might produce a better result. hmmmmm :-?
