Re: Reflection on a knife edge
Hi Steve and David, Reflection on a knife edge belongs chapter 10 (Metal, wood and stone) Page 268. I have problem step #8 and step # 9. I can't do finish the project. I followed the steps in the book, but I can't. Step #8 The top bank note was cut in half stepped up, and the process repeated each side of the blade; an additional couple of notes were distorted to fly up from the pile. Step #9 Copies of the top note and sides were flipped and distorted and made into a clipping mask with the blade, their opacity lowered so that they looked like dull reflections When I clipping mask the blade wih the top note and sides with flipped, my blade disappear. I will send the file to you. Please help me. Thanks Ha Vo [Ha - I've attached the files below - Steve]

Re: Reflection on a knife edge
I see the problem, Ha. In the final step, you need to make the reflected notes use the blade as a clipping layer, so they're only visible where they overlap the blade - you seem to have done this the other way around. The foreground pile of notes should be in front of the whole assembly, so that they cover up both the blade and the reflection. Does this help? Steve |
