Folds on a jersey?

[Soraze]

Hi,

i would like to recreate some "folds" on a jersey, like on this image :



is there a way to do it with Photoshop? I thought i could copy and paste some of them, but i'm afraid it will give something a bit repetitive.

Thanks

You could get an image and if it isn't of the same size, transform it to make it a bit bigger. Now you will have to make your jersey a selection on its own layer.

Next you will need to make a displacement map. To do this all you need to do is right click on the transformed jersey and choose "duplicate layer." Awindow will pop up. Where it says document, click on the drop down and choose new. Enter a name, click OK, and a new document will open. Flatten it (layer>flatten), then save as your MAP.

Go back to your original layer and choose your jersey, go to filter>distort>displace. For the time being, use the defaults, click OK, choose your MAP psd and click open. It will now put creases in your shirt. It may move things over so you'll have to mask or erase. Alternatively, go back (cmd/ctl + z or history) and do the filter again. Experiment with the settings. I would give you more technical advice but I've never used it. I think shadows move the displace down to the right and and whites up and left. Or vice versa, lol.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for your answer, well i did not understand how to follow your instructions i think, first the displace filter has to be used on the real image of the jersey? or should i create another image with a white background for example? Because here is what i have got with my displace filter (with a value of 10 in the horizontal axis) on the jersey :



(I can feel the disappointment from here, when you will read this message! :surprised: Sorry i am sure your explanation was great but i am really not familiar with the software )

Also, why do you duplicate the layer and then flatten it?

Thanks again

Hi Soraze,

I would like to understand more of what it is exactly your needing to accomplish.

Are you adding folds to another jersey?
Are you drawing a jersey that you want add folds to?
Is it the folds you want to re-create or the Jersey?

I guess a much more detailed explanation of what your wanting would be helpful.

Thanks

Alright, so i am creating a football player in 3d, and i would like to create a new jersey. So i will have a 2D image that i can sort of "paint" in photoshop to add the color, and i wanted to add some reliefs on it, such as what we can see on the image.
I first tried to copy and paste some folds from the original image, but the result was really bad, or create manually some folds with a shadow below, but i thought there was maybe a better way.

Actually, I think your results are on the right track. Play around with those settings. even trying negative numbers. I am sorry I can't be more help with this. I don't use this filter very often. Also, As I noted, Your results will be best if you isolate/select the shirt. Then you can make a dup layer, apply the filter, ctl/cmd click on the dup layer to get the selection borders active and apply a layer mask to the shirt to remove any of the outside line from the displacement effect. Now turn off the eye to the dup layer, move it below the BG, or delete it.

If that doesn't help you, look up tuts on the displace fx or -- as I advise many people -- buy a month or more of tutorials from lynda.com at $25 per month. Good investment.

Hi,
i finally created a model in 3d with the folds to have a HD version, and i would like to try to pass this into Photoshop to only keep the shadows of the folds (for a very low poly), do you think it is possible?
I have tried to draw directly the shadows on the mask with the brush tool, and add some blur afterwards, but it was not a good solution...

So i was wondering if i can select the white and change it with another color, or isolate the black color and use a mask with it, so that i don't have to paint the mask myself, but copy and paste the gradient with the black directly?

Here is my image with the contrast and luminosity changed :



Thanks for your help
