Trying.


Just kidding, I don't know anything about doing that. The actual work looks impressive but it seem like the "waves" are too big. Carbon Fiber is a weaved product so think small, overlapping strands.

lol

resize the filling thing
to smaller size, then use distort --> twirl to make it more real, and use multiply option

 

[JFBP4991]

i tried twirling it but it twirled the whole layer to some odd hood-like shape

 

[Drift Motion]

no no no
one layer for the copied hood, one layer for the CF fill in
