How To Photoshop Tire Animation?

I'm Looking for some Help on How to Photoshop Tire Animation?

I have some sweet textures of my tire, with no animation and I'm wondering how people go about making such good animations of the blurring and movement effect.

note: I understand making the animation work in Max. I want how to make the textures in max look good.

 

For the sidewall of the tire: Select the tire and apply Filter -> Blur -> Radial blur -> and play with Spin settings

For the tread: Use Motion Blur

 

you're like my own personal instructor... thanks Johannes.

 

you have to save a few versions, each version progressively blurred. Make sure you are blurring the tire tread in the right direction (in line with the direction of travel)

 

and on the side wall I should blur backwards the opposite direction of travel right?

 

For sidewall it doesn't matter when you use radial blur.

 

generally you need 4 maps.........

eg:-

tyre00 (has no blur)
tyre01 (has about 15% radial blur)
tyre02 (has about 30% radial blur)
tyre03 (has no blur)

i've checked several mods and they all seem to use 4 maps and with experimentation i've found the figures i've used above get the nearest results, for me anyway.
