Image Reference: Technical Questions
polycounter lvl 18
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping to do the Audi Le Mans Quattro. But the problem is that I can't find 3-view reference pictures.<ul type="square">[*]Any good website(s) with 3-views of cars, planes, etc.? Of course, I'm looking for the Audi Le Mans Quattro, but if there is another nice-looking car with good 3-view refs, I may do that instead.
[*]For another project, I found 3-views of a car, but when I matched up the front/side/top shots, certain features of the car did not align in 3D space, because of perspective (objects closer to the camera appear bigger in the front view, and smaller in the side view, such as the head lamps). Are there any Photoshop tricks you use to correct this problem (short of scaling up and down individual parts of the picture)?[/list]
Thanks,
BR

Check these first.
But for my future reference, any Photoshop tricks to correct for perspective distortions, if you're stuck with poor image refs?
Edit: I just found out an easy way to take care of perspective distortion in Photoshop. Is this common knowledge, or should I do a quick tut? FYI, I used the scale command, but the trick is knowing which parts to scale.
