Thanks a lot , you do a great help ..
thanx -cool!
Great!. thanks for the tutorial!
The only bad thing that I found is the angle and the opacity of the image. I think that the image used as mateial should be more transparent, and the image perhaps should have another perspective point, the final render could look more realistic. Could you make an image trying this? I will appreciate it so much, cause i´m learning but right now I don´t have a computer to try by myself.
Thanks again.
thank u very much
