Reflection Challenge

**RUSS-USSR** · 09 July 2010, 09:01 AM

Because of using some reflection on smooth surface is a noticeable trend, I think it can to be interesting to share some ideas. For example I put here couple of my own variants. Hope you guys wish to take part in this challenge and bring original decisions.

Reflections are fun to do. Here is one from me.

I love the capabilities of doing reflections in Xara. Here are a couple that I came up with while playing around with sunglasses. I too would love to see what the others come up with on this topic. Fantastic challenge RUSS-USSR. I hope that we have more participants on this one.

Are the reflections post to be done in gradients? If so, I will submit another one.

Here is a reflection that I did on top of gradients.

RUSS-USSR, I like the light titles you did in the second room. Very well done.

Good idea. Thanks. Xara has rather good tools for working with bitmaps, so I think it will be interesting to play with it.
This is my var of (?) your inspiration.

RUSS-USSR, good job on the sunglasses. I think that would be an interesting challenge of just setting up a set of blank sunglasses and see what everyone can do with them.

Here's something new that I'm working on that I'm using reflections with.

Great work on Reflectino evrybody.
Here is my attempt to recreat reflection, the image based on downloaded image from internet, and this image based too on a tutorial, but i cannot find the web site of this tutorial so i recreat this image again in Xara.
All objects are vector, no using of Texture or plugins.

Nice chrome ball

Very well-done BP. It looks like it's based on two tutorials. The first one was a split reflection with the clouds and grass. The second one is a glass sphere over the paper. I don't see the image that you're referring to in your work. It looks as though everything is hand drawn. I love the color scheme and the depth that you added to it. Great job!
