Team and School Uniform Mockups Without a Photoshoot

Uniforms are chosen by the buyer from a mockup.
Team colors change from one team to the next,
and you cannot book a shoot every time, so the proposal stalls for want of a mockup.

Set the conditions once and change only the combination and the color,
and you can fill a proposal without a shoot.
Marks and lettering need separate handling, covered below.
If you have never made an on-model shot,
the basic AI lookbook steps are the quicker way in.

The order for making mockups

A mockup shows more than the design.
It has to answer “what does it look like on our students”,
and schools often ask for boys’ and girls’ versions side by side.
So fix the combinations first, boys and girls, winter and summer,
and make one image per combination.

For the model, choose the teen age band in Create Model,
make the model once and save it in My Assets (where models and backgrounds are kept).
Every mockup after that shows the same face.
A generated face carries no likeness rights; if you use a real student’s photo,
you need a guardian’s consent.
The model settings have no height field,
so fit comes from the garment photo you upload and from where you say the hems end.

The saved teen boy model. Winter blazer as in the attached photo.
Shirt hem tucked into the trousers. Blazer length covering the hip.
Background: a school corridor. Full body, front view.

Some buyers ask for a mockup with two students together.
A two-person cut does not come from the instruction text alone;
it needs a separate feature, so make each student’s on-model shot first and combine them as described in the group lookbook guide.
For the next team, do not start over: keep the same conditions and change only the color.

Boy student model in the white shirt and check trousers, white background — Boys' mockup

Marks and lettering are handled separately

Team names, numbers, crests and other lettering and logos can distort during generation.
So at the mockup stage, leave the team name out of the instruction,
and either keep the crest area empty or upload the crest file you received from the buyer as a reference in Edit (the feature that changes a specified part of a finished image) and change only that area.
If it still comes out wrong, place the crest file with a design tool in the final proposal.

A crest belongs to the school or the team,
so use only the file they provide and never draw one.
Even with “keep the crest and embroidery as in the photo,
do not create new ones” in the instruction, the result still needs checking.

When you need the back and the side

Team wear with a design on the back needs a back-view mockup too.
Horizon Lookbook (the feature that makes four cuts at once, front,
two sides and back, on a plain seamless set) gives one front,
two side and one back cut per color,
and the cost is 20 credits per color regardless of the number of cuts.
If you only need the front, a standard lookbook costs 10 credits; for four angles,
use Horizon at 20 credits per color.
The garment’s back photo is optional, but upload it whenever the back has a design;
without it, the back is drawn without one.
Details are in the Horizon Lookbook guide.

Girls' uniform, Horizon Lookbook front cut — Horizon Lookbook — front

Girls' uniform, Horizon Lookbook side cut 1 — Side 1

Girls' uniform, Horizon Lookbook side cut 2 — Side 2

Girls' uniform, Horizon Lookbook back cut — Back

Five places mockups usually go wrong

Crest, embroidery, logo: redrawn or smeared?
Face: is it still the saved model?
Length: hems end where the instruction said?
Color: is the team color as specified, and is the fabric sheen not overdone?
Back: does the back match the back photo?

Fix each wrong item in Edit one line at a time,
such as “trouser length to just cover the top of the sneakers”.
That is faster than rewriting the instruction and generating from scratch (Fixing a shot without reshooting).

What it cannot do: fabric sheen, and the mockup note

Performance fabrics come out with different sheen and stretch from one image to the next, even under the same conditions, so budget credits for two or three images per combination.

When you use the image as a mockup,
add one line saying it was generated by AI and that color,
embroidery and fabric texture may differ from the finished product.
Without it, the buyer treats the mockup as the delivery standard and complains after production that the color or embroidery differs.

Try this first

Signing up gives you free credits.
A standard lookbook image costs 10 credits;
a Horizon Lookbook costs 20 credits per color for four cuts.
Take one combination for a team or school you are proposing to now,
make one mockup, then make a second with only the color changed under the same conditions.
Check first whether the second mockup comes out in the same framing as the first.
