Hello, I've got a question about adding 3d mirror effects for cubes that's been troubling me for hours.

I need to create a reflection as though the cube is sitting on a glass table. I've tried using the y-axis reflect function but it's creating a symmetrical image, not a mirror effect, meaning the lines of the reflection are going away from the lines of the cube. Sort of like this:



I need the reflection to look something like these:





I've looked everywhere for a tutorial, but all the tutorials I can find all suggest using the y-axis reflect function.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

You will need to rasterize the 3d image first(but save the 3d image 1st)

Thank you....what do I do after rasterizing the image?

take the duplicate and use the transform tool to position it as the reflection.

Thanks iDad, I tried your suggestion but am still getting the same result. I've just edited the original post which shows the type of result I've been getting.

Okay I see you flipped it upside down now use the transformation tool to position it< SET THE TOOL IN warp mode, and play around with it till you get it right
