Version history:

ver. 1.0:
- May 3, 2024.
- initial release.

ver. 1.5:
- May 22, 2024.
- more micro refining of the torso to improve its overall appearance and more tweaks to the torso's texture mapping to fix some minor texture stretching and compression issues (mostly with jersey's that have horizontal arm band graphics, and for main team logos that are positioned higher up on the jersey)
- added two new templates with the head pre-rotated to allow for some more poses (one of these new templates is specifically for rendering the back of the jersey).
- updated readme.html file to illustrate how to add "C" and "A" crests to front of the jersey along with player's name and number on the back of the jersey, as well as the player's number on the sleeves of the jersey in order for them to render correctly. Also illustrates how to change the background color in Rendered view mode.

These are awesome!



How easy is Blender to use (If you know Illustrator, Photoshop, Aftereffects, GIMP, Inkscape)


I feel like there's a reason I've never taught myself Blender but I don't remember it now

It took me a bit to figure things out for what I needed to build this template. The readme.html instruction file I am working on will simply be a "cut to the chase" step by step series of screen shots with commentary on the basics of how to,

1. load the jersey_template.blend file into Blender.

2. import your custom jersey into Blender.

3. show some basic rendering options,

- render with jersey, head, and player profile template.
- render with jersey, head.
- render with jersey only.
- modify lighting and shadows on the jersey.
- modify the color of the head.
- alter the angle of viewing.

4. save your rendered jersey image(s) as a bitmap and exit.

This is seriously awesome, great work I can't wait to visualize some of the custom jerseys I have made on a full-sized model.

I'm getting so anxious.

Here is a render with a slight Bloom effect, and rotated head pose. Notice how the shadow on the upper torso follows the head rotation.

Woot!

This is fantastic, I practically tried it on all my custom jerseys just so I could see the lower torsos on a model for the first time. Here are some various ones that I liked the best.

These look awesome!

If you rotate your custom jersey image 180 degrees within your graphics editor and add a player's name and number, save it, and then load it into the jersey template for Blender, you can easily have a rendering of the back of the jersey to compliment the front

Your contributions to the community have been fantastic, not just filling a gap in the market but such high effort/high quality outcomes. Thanks for taking the time to do it.
