This template includes five angles: a front-centered hero shot, a 3/4 profile view showing the side pocket, a back view of the rear panel and waistband, a detail closeup of the waistband and drawstring area, and a lifestyle action shot of the model walking. All five are photographed on a rooftop with a city skyline background during golden hour.
Yes. This template is designed for programmatic rendering through SudoMock's API or Dashboard. You upload your design, the rendering engine composites it onto the white shorts surface, and the output image is ready for use on Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, or any other marketplace. It is also compatible with POD fulfillment platforms like Printful, Printify, and Gelato.
SudoMock uses Multiply blend mode for fabric products. The visible cotton blend texture on the white shorts surface shows through the overlaid design, making the final render look like the design is printed directly onto the fabric rather than digitally pasted on top. This creates realistic fabric interaction with shadows and highlights from the golden hour lighting.
The mockup shows relaxed-fit drawstring shorts with an elastic waistband, side seam pockets, and an approximate 3-inch inseam. The construction is consistent with casual or athletic cotton blend shorts similar to what POD providers like Printful or Printify offer in their catalogs. The style works for gym shorts, running shorts, casual summer shorts, or beach shorts designs.
The primary design placement area covers the front panel of the shorts, from the waistband down to the hem. The white surface across the entire garment serves as the Smart Object target zone. The front hero shot and waistband detail closeup provide the clearest view of this placement area. For shorts, common print placements include the left leg, right leg, or centered across the front panel.
The model wears a plain white crewneck t-shirt in all five angles to provide a complete outfit context. The t-shirt is part of the scene composition but the rendering target is the shorts. If you need a matching t-shirt mockup, SudoMock's library includes separate t-shirt templates that can be rendered alongside this shorts template for cohesive catalog sets.
Each render through SudoMock's API costs $0.002. A free tier includes 500 credits to test the platform. Rendering all five angles of this shorts template with your design would cost $0.01 total. Paid plans start at $17.49 per month and differ primarily in the number of parallel renders allowed (1, 3, 10, or 25 concurrent renders).

Apparel led the print-on-demand market with 40.20% revenue share in 2025, making it the dominant product category (Source: Mordor Intelligence).
Shorts fall within the apparel category that drives the largest share of POD revenue, indicating strong market demand for shorts mockup templates.
22% of product returns happen because products look different in person than in photos (Source: GrabOn, 2025).
On-model mockups with multiple angles, like the five views in this template, help buyers assess fit and appearance before purchasing, reducing return rates for shorts and other apparel.
High-quality product images can increase conversions by up to 60% (Source: Odette Photo Art citing Spyne, 2024).
Lifestyle and multi-angle mockup sets provide the visual depth that e-commerce listings need to convert browsers into buyers for athletic and casual shorts.
“In the print-on-demand industry, mockups play a crucial role in showcasing products to potential customers by instilling confidence and trust in the brand.”
“We switched to API-rendered mockups for our shorts line because we needed consistent lighting and angles across 200+ SKUs. Manually photographing each colorway was not feasible at that scale.”
“High-resolution product photography with multiple angles significantly improves buyer confidence and reduces return rates in e-commerce apparel sales.”
“Mockup templates allow print-on-demand sellers to present products in realistic contexts without ordering physical samples or arranging photoshoots.”
“The quality of product images used in POD store listings directly correlates with customer purchasing behavior and store credibility.”
“Athletic shorts are among the growing product categories in print-on-demand, with demand spanning gym wear, casual streetwear, and seasonal summer collections.”
“Apparel remains the leading product category in the print-on-demand market, with bottoms and shorts gaining traction as sellers expand beyond t-shirts.”
This mockup template shows white cotton blend drawstring shorts on a female model photographed on a building rooftop during golden hour. The model is a young East Asian woman with long straight dark hair, light freckles across her cheeks and nose, and a slim athletic build. She wears the white shorts paired with a plain white crewneck t-shirt. The city skyline, including what appears to be the Empire State Building, is visible in the soft-focus background across all five angles. Warm sunset lighting bathes the scene from behind the skyline, creating a natural backlit glow on the model and garment.
The shorts are plain white with no prints, logos, or graphics on the surface. The fabric appears to be a soft cotton blend with a slight texture visible in the detail shots. Construction details include an elastic waistband with a drawstring tie at center front, side seam pockets visible in the 3/4 angle view, and a relaxed fit through the leg with an approximate 3-inch inseam. The waistband has horizontal ribbed stitching. A small tonal logo or embroidered mark is faintly visible on the left hip area in the detail closeup. The hem is unhemmed or has a raw-edge finish.
Five photographs are provided in this template set:
Front Centered Hero Shot: The model faces the camera directly with her left hand on her hip and right arm relaxed at her side. Full body from mid-thigh up is visible. The front print area, drawstring, waistband, and overall fit are clearly shown.
3/4 Angle View: The model is turned approximately 45 degrees to camera, looking back toward the lens with a slight smile. Her right hand rests in the side pocket, revealing pocket depth and placement. Side seam construction and fabric drape are visible from this perspective.
Back View: The model faces away from camera with arms behind her back, one hand holding the opposite elbow. The rear of the shorts shows the elastic waistband from behind, back panel construction, and overall fit from the rear. No back pockets are visible.
Waistband and Print Detail: A cropped close-up shot at waist level shows the shorts from navel to mid-thigh on a model (appears to be a different model based on skin tone). The drawstring, elastic waistband stitching, side pocket opening, and fabric surface texture are clearly visible. The small tonal mark on the left hip is most apparent in this angle.
Lifestyle Athletic Context: The model is captured mid-stride, walking or jogging across the rooftop with hair flowing behind her and a wide natural smile. This angle shows how the shorts move during activity, with the leg opening and fabric behavior during motion clearly demonstrated.
The white surface area across all five angles serves as the design placement zone for SudoMock's rendering engine. The cotton blend fabric texture remains visible through the white base, which allows Multiply blend mode compositing to produce realistic results where the design appears printed onto the actual fabric rather than placed on top. The warm golden-hour lighting creates natural shadows and highlights that add depth to rendered designs.
This template is suitable for e-commerce product listings, print-on-demand catalog generation, and social media marketing assets. The rooftop cityscape setting provides aspirational lifestyle context for athletic, casual, and summer shorts lines. Compatible with POD platforms including Printful, Printify, and Gelato for automated catalog workflows. Rendering is available through SudoMock's REST API or Dashboard Playground at $0.002 per render.
