HELLO!

I have a picture of a street and theres intersections in the street at night, and i have a car good modeling and texturing, i just want my car to go in the street and turn left to another street and goes behind another building. How can i have perfect refelctions on the car and shadows under the car and the right positions and also the light fall on the ground. so it will all look realistic, im just trying to make a demo reel and i want to start it with that.

so let me get this straight.. you've got a still of an intersection and you want this model of yours to drive around in it like it's a 3D intersection? that's very tough man.. you could theoretically go out and use a digital camera to take a bunch of images of the area and the buildings from the relevent sides and them make a 3D mockup of them and apply the images as textures and use that set as an environment for the car to reflect. you'll also need to set up a shadow pass and light this thing so that it looks like it belongs. and a bunch of other things..

you're better off just modeling that intersection yourself and doing it all in 3D. and think about doing this in a day scene instead of a night scene.

this is all fairly advanced stuff to be able to do. good luck.
