Adding type to t-shirt photos and making it seem real

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.

    Redd,

    As Ramón says. You should be posting this just in Photoshop. But note that for the least work and most realistic appearance, you may well be best off preparing a real shirt as you want it and photographing it.

    Actually, that's not considered cool. ;) However, it's not a Typography question at all. :/
