Can anyone do better for me please?

I am trying to make a new background. What I want is this car speeding along with burning tyres, and what I am getting is rubbish! Please help me!

What I did:

The original:

did u use eye candy for the fire effect

something called cool3d, but wait a second! my son has eyecandy on this computer! ok I will try that sometime.

the fire effect on eyecandy isnt that good

Here's my take...

Best way to get it to look like the car is speeding along is to put a motion blur on the back-ground rather than on the car itself. The only portion of the car that should be blurred is the wheels. Select the wheels with the marquis tool, and use "radial blur"... comes out nicely.

I would've added smoke to the front wheels too, but I'm not sure wether the xj220 is all-wheel drive or not...

YO Ci5iC thats the sickest thing i've seen............

WICKED JOB MAN

I think that picture is of the prototype version, so it is 4 wheel drive. that looks amazing!

no driver:smoker2:

put a driver in:smoka:

thats what I just thought, but didn't want to sound snobby.
Can any one please try that?

just tinte the windows and pretend the driver is in there

Good Idea!

Or put a man with a radio transmitter on him (like as a rc-car) or a little text explaining that it is the new car for the Knightrider.. :D

crap ci5ic, that's craziness. Are there any manuals that show you how to do that stuff. I bought my cousin's photoshop cd from him and he didn't have a manual, and I don't know that it would tell you that kind of stuff anyway.

There's lots of tutorials out there to learn how to do it. Personally, I just messed around with photoshop til I figured out how it worked. If you have any specific questions, post them in this forum, and you're bound to get an answer...
