Mike, if you out there today...

Would you be so kind as to test and post a player pic of the jersey below. I'm trying to make a good looking zipper.

DCHepler25 · 05-16-2013, 10:03 AM

I know I'm not Mike, but here you go... using OOTP14

DCHepler25 · 05-16-2013, 10:04 AM

BTW, I really like the look of the zipper!

Gern44 · 05-16-2013, 10:04 AM

Awesome, thanks DC.

Thanks. Im going to add a shading layer to the undershirt coloring under the zipper so it better matches the collar undershirt... and I didnt remove the button shading layer under the zipper to the left.

Im posting another in a minute if you could test please.

Gern44 · 05-16-2013, 10:13 AM

Test 2 please...

DCHepler25 · 05-16-2013, 10:18 AM

No problem!

Gern44 · 05-16-2013, 10:31 AM

Not bad. Thanks again. I'll work on matching the color of the Zipper undershirt with the collar undershirt later at home. I dont want to have you guys posting pics all day long.

DCHepler25 · 05-16-2013, 10:35 AM

It's really not a problem Gern. Plus, I'm only 30 posts away from finally being an All-Star Starter. It's only taken me 11 years!

Curious, what are the posting requirements to reach the different levels???

silvam14 · 05-16-2013, 11:16 AM

What's the matter Gern? No OOTP at work?

All-Star Starter is 1,000 posts. I'm not sure how many are needed for Hall Of Famer but that is the highest level.

These look great man...I've started creating my own jerseys and I can really appreciate the talent this takes. Well done.

Gern44 · 05-16-2013, 01:15 PM

Gern, I had some concern on this zipper jersey about getting a logo or a team name to look good going across the jersey. But I thought I'd give a logo a try. I found a work around a bit for my Lions squad, but I was hoping you'd show an example of how you would work it for other teams. Here's my Lions idea:

Gern44 · 05-17-2013, 06:35 PM

Not bad BSA.

In my template, the Zipper layer is on top of the text/logo layer. By adjusting the Zipper Layer's opacity, you can make the text show thru the zipper.

Here's a couple examples with the Zipper Layer set to 'Hard Light'... you can clearly see the zipper in the Z in Grizzlies.
