  • Wrapping visuals in Photoshop. Anyone done this?

    Posted by Karl Williams on 22 January 2012 at 20:16

    I saw something on youtube the other day that shows how this is done.
    I can’t find the link again as I only stumbled across it.
    Anyway, trying to remember how it was done I had a go at these. The first one was just a play about. The Aston, I spent more time on this but it doesn’t look as real as the first car. Not sure if I did it the long way round as it takes ages to do. Has anyone done this and how can I do this easier?

    The photos should be the other way round! 😳

    Hi Karl, we brought this program a few years back , at SignUK but never really got to use it !

    If I remember correctly, you designed in 2D and the software did the rest.

    Appreciate the reply John. The softeware looks pretty handy. I’m looking more at making the images look more realistic. I do appreciate the reply though. 😉

    Thanks for that Rob. May give Brian a buzz. The reason behind this is if I take a photo of a clients vehicle then superimpose his design onto his own vehicle It’d look more professional and personal creating a unique selling point.

    yep, i totally agree Karl, presentation is everything mate.
    If your customer has 3 layouts from 3 companies all at the same price and materials used in front of him. two are flat side on, while one is on gloss paper, car is his actual car, at an angle in 3 dimension. well, your standing out more and looking more professional. who would you invest in using?

    the down side is we can only wrap one side at a time. a 360 wrap is sorta doable on a van. but 99/100 are one side at a time, so design is not seamless.

    regardless, a 3D visual if you can do it quick enough, would be advantageous i’de think.

    that effect can be easily created in photoshop, no need for expensive software if you already have the Adobe suite IMO.

    Done things like this for years ‘digimoding’ cars and the like
