I would like to conform a text or an image on a wrinkled surface?

 

I saw there is this displacement map in Photoshop but I can't find it in Illustrator?

allpurposecleaner,

 

You can place the text, which may be live Type, or other artwork on top of an image of the desired surface appearance, then Ctrl/Cmd+7 to create a Clipping Mask.

Hmm, I tried it but not what I wanted actually...

 

Just want the logo to be realistic and not just written down on there.

I want it to take over the wrinkles and shadows of the shirt.

I hope you understand me haha

Apply an envelope and then use the direct selection tool to edit the mesh lines.

You could use a SVG filter. check what Sara did https://tympanus.net/codrops/2019/02/12/svg-filter-effects-conforming-text-to-surface-texture-with-fedisplacementmap/

It is just the principle. If anybody here can help to adpat this SVG filter to Illustrator it would be great… unfortunately it is way beyond my capacities…
