Is there a way to add type to photos of t-shirts and making it seem real? Like making the type follow the angle and bumps of the surface.

I was hoping there’d be an easier way out than having to exactly model the t-shirt in some 3D application, render just the type and then superimpose it on top of the real photo. I could just get the t-shirt printed and then take real photographs of it, but I can’t quite afford that yet.

So is there a way to do this using Adobe products?

Note: I posted this in a couple of different forums, I hope y’all don’t mind.

One way is to use a Displacement Map. There are some tutorials on the web, including a good one by Russell Brown. Sorry; I don’t have the link.
