Aqua-Soft Forums[release] Mini Mac Wallpaper
Hmm the reflection is just wrong :confused:
Nice effort but...
1. cropped photo + text
2. centered >_<
Sorry not my cup of tea...
Cute, but it has a strange reflection.
reflection is weird. you wouldn't be able to see the top in the reflection... poor cut and paste job..
The wallpaper is great. Yes he didnt do much but he didnt say much either, or is his text invisible?
Hobbes its nice and all but maybe just way to simplistic. Use a aqua style blueish gradeint for the backgground instead of a plain color. Maybe then it would look better. 
cmon, you're polish. Make it Better!!! make the reflection a bit more realistic by moving it closer to the thing thats being reflected, and make a seph style with it in the corner or something. 
Too primitive to me, sorry.
Alrighty, hows this one ?

Or maby this ?
The impossible reflection is still there :confused:. The text seems to have been magic wanded and repositioned? there is a strange white jag around the letters...
It could be that i havent had enough coffee yet... but yeah...
I prefer the first and last release so that's what I'll add to the front page. If you create anymore just let me know and I'll add or change the links. Nice work.
I actually like it. Good job Hobbes as it goes quite well with the Siro theme I am using. Good work!
Come on Hobbes! Dont make me come over there and fix that reflection for ya!
People...get over the reflection...Once you can make one thats better then that, then you can start talking.
ROFL!
Ok speakerbox... Tricky and Wizard, please guys, do some serious graphic releases, know your CG software and then speak... ROFL...
Do a search on things by them, for example... they know what they are talking about, and i like to think i know too.
Speakerbox, you need to know who you speak to before you post, its always wise to take a minute or two after writing a post and then re-read it...
i must agree, the reflection is waaaaaay off :S

I'm glad you've noticed my work over the years!
and secondly I've only posted this a very quick demonstration as to how the reflection "could" look and not to steal Hobbes' thunder in any way.
err that "blue" (actually purple) gradient is not aqua and look horrible. the first one is much better, just delete the reflection
I agree, u shuld work on the reflection, try to study some of the photos u find on apple.com, and see how they did it, and the text is a bit wierd. but it's a nice try, but not perfect... keep on going, and you'll get it right...
@ Tricky : What exactly did u do to get that ? It looks verry nice.

Thanks. I basically copied and flipped the image, blurred/smoothed the top of the copy so that the edges melted into the base of the Mini Mac. I then applied a mask over the bottom so that as the object reflection moves away from the object it grows fainter. I then adjusted it so that there was no gap.
Hope that makes sense - i've just woken up!
Just add me to hotmail/yahoo and call me up anytime - I'd be glad to help.
I wouldnt blurr the reflection if I was you, if you look at some of the img at apple, you'll see it's not blurry, but I would remove the cd from the reflection, maby even the light... I'll post a little img I made soon...
EDIT: here
Now ladies, lets stop squabbling, all the reflections are very nice, but I must say that Tricky's is the best.
But then again, I don't see the point in makin a wallpaper for Mac Mini, in the time it takes to make one, I could go down to my nearest Apple Store and buy one with what little money I have and have the real thing slap bang on my desk. I'm just saying 
Magnus' is the best reflection so far
Yeah, cool pic.
