Question

issues with displacement maps on shirts designs

I am reporting a major quality regression in Adobe Firefly regarding garment mockups and displacement mapping. As of today, March 29, 2026, graphics are no longer integrating into shirt textures. I’ve been using since last year ans as of last week, the results were professional-grade with perfect 3D warping and fabric blending. The issues started earlier this week. Using the same prompts, all graphics appear as flat, 'pasted-on' 2D overlays that ignore fabric folds, body contours, and natural shadows. This makes the tool unusable for professional e-commerce mockups. Please investigate the recent update to the rendering pipeline or partner model integration (Nano Banana 2) that caused this loss of displacement mapping. This is the main reason for me to be a subscriber.  Im uploading 2 files called “last week”, these are professional level mock up pictures, the work is almost perfect. And 3 files called “this week”, these reflect the work currently being done, The design does not follow the fabrics wrinkles, contours and shadows. They look “pasted”.  I haven't been able to use any images produced this week. Please help!

    Hi Rafter SF,

    Thanks for writing to us about this.

     

    I agree that the results look more pasted than printed. It would be very helpful if you could provide the prompt and reference images you used so we can test this behavior on our side.

     

    In the meantime, I tried achieving perfect fabric blending for my desired text using Boards. After uploading my text and mockup, I applied the Mashup preset, with the t‑shirt as reference image 1 and the text as reference image 2. The first result is shown on the left. For the second attempt, I added the line “perfect 3D warping and fabric blending” to the prompt, and the result is shown on the right.


    Please let us know if this workflow helps you achieve the results you’re looking for. If not, don’t hesitate to share the prompt and reference images so we can investigate further. We’re here to help.
