My second attempt at reflections

Okay i changed all those thing now how?

Hey mate. These are really very nice. Good quality graphics and nice exceution.

My only comment is that I feel the reflection is a little too big.

Generally reflections would show about a third the item it is reflecting (not the whole object). The reflection is really just a supporting element to the main icon..

Cheers for sharing

looks good, but you might want to think about erasing the outside macs where it overlaps the middle one in the reflection so it looks like a true mirror reflection instead of just inverted transparency,

Yeah, you shouldn't be able to see through the aluminum. :slant:

Keep working at it, you'll get it.

lol i think the best and easiest way to get a good reflection is through photoshop...here are the steps i use

1. Duplicate Layer

2. Ctrl+T the duplicated layer, right click on the selecting and select the option flip vertical

3. Then line the flipped layer just under the normal layer, and add a layer mask

4. On the layer mask make a gradient going from the base of the flipped icon to the end of it

5. Make this gradients 2 colours; black to transperent

6. Once you do this lower the opacity to 75% on the reflecting layer

7. Save as a .png or a .ico and your done

Hope this helps
