This template includes five angles: a front-centered hero shot showing the full front print area, a 3/4 angle view revealing side seam and pocket construction, a back view displaying the rear print area and waistband, a waistband detail closeup showing drawstring and elastic construction, and a lifestyle walking shot in an urban setting. All five angles feature the same female model wearing the same white polyester shorts.
Upload your design image via the SudoMock REST API or Dashboard Playground. The rendering engine composites your artwork onto the white surface areas of the shorts using Smart Object layers. For polyester fabric, Multiply blend mode allows the woven texture to show through your design, creating a realistic on-fabric appearance. Each render costs $0.002.
SudoMock offers a free tier with 500 render credits that includes access to shorts mockup templates. Unlike static PSD downloads from sites like Freepik or PSD Repo, SudoMock renders mockups programmatically via API, allowing bulk generation across multiple designs without manual Photoshop editing. The free plan provides enough credits to render 500 mockup images.
Yes. The rendered output images are standard WebP, PNG, or JPEG files that can be uploaded to any print-on-demand platform including Printful, Printify, Gelato, Redbubble, and others. SudoMock also has native integrations with Shopify and WooCommerce for automated product listing workflows.
The shorts in this mockup are polyester athletic shorts with a lightweight, slightly shiny woven texture. They feature an elastic waistband with drawstring, side pockets, mesh side panel inserts, and curved hem with side slits. The polyester fabric texture is visible through the white surface, which allows the Multiply blend mode to create realistic fabric interaction with applied designs.
SudoMock provides shorts mockup templates as part of its rendering API rather than as downloadable PSD files. You render mockups through the API or Dashboard rather than downloading and editing PSDs manually. For standalone PSD downloads, resources like Freepik, PSD Repo, and Good Mockups offer free shorts mockup PSD files, though these require manual Photoshop editing for each design.
SudoMock's REST API enables bulk mockup generation by accepting JSON payloads with design image URLs. You can loop through hundreds of design files and render each one onto the shorts template at $0.002 per render. Integration with tools like n8n, Zapier, Make, and Airtable allows automated pipelines that generate complete product catalogs without manual intervention.
In common usage, the terms are often interchangeable. A shorts template typically refers to the base PSD file containing Smart Object layers where designs are placed. A shorts mockup refers to the rendered output image showing a specific design on the product. SudoMock handles both: the template lives on the platform, and the API generates the final mockup images with your designs composited in.

This mockup template shows white polyester athletic shorts on a female model photographed in an urban street setting. The model is a fair-skinned woman, approximately late 20s to early 30s, with curly red hair at shoulder length and visible freckles across her arms and legs. She has a toned, athletic build. In the front hero shot, she stands with hands on hips against a portable gray backdrop set up outdoors in front of a brick wall. She wears the white shorts paired with a plain white racerback tank top. Warm, directional sunlight catches her hair from the left side.
Five angles are included in this template set:
Front Centered Hero Shot: The model faces the camera directly, hands on hips, in a confident stance. The shorts sit at the natural waist with an elastic waistband and drawstring tie visible at center front. The drawstring ends have small gold-tone metal aglets. Side slits at the hem allow freedom of movement. A small logo is visible on the lower left leg. The gray studio backdrop is positioned behind the model outdoors, with exposed brick visible on either side.
3/4 Angle View: The model is turned roughly 45 degrees to her right, looking over her shoulder toward the camera with a slight smile. Her right hand rests in the shorts pocket. The background is a brick wall covered in colorful graffiti with bubble-letter street art. This angle shows the side seam construction, pocket depth, and how the polyester fabric drapes loosely around the thigh. A mesh-like panel or lighter-weight inset is visible along the side.
Back View: The model faces away from the camera with hands clasped behind her lower back. The gray portable backdrop is again visible behind her. This angle displays the rear of the shorts: the elastic waistband from behind, the drawstring bow at center back, and the overall relaxed fit through the seat and thigh. The racerback cut of the tank top is also visible. The shorts show a slight curve at the hemline with the side slits.
Waistband and Print Detail: A close-up shot focused on the waistband area. The model's midsection is visible from roughly navel to mid-thigh. She holds the waistband with both hands, pulling it slightly outward to show the elastic construction. The drawstring with gold aglets is tied in a bow. The polyester fabric shows a subtle woven texture. A mesh side panel is visible along the right side seam, providing a contrasting texture to the main body fabric.
Lifestyle Athletic Context: The model walks toward the camera on a cobblestone street, carrying a tan canvas tote bag in her right hand. She wears brown leather boots. Behind her is a large, colorful mural on a building wall depicting a woman's face. Natural late-afternoon sunlight creates warm tones across the scene. The shorts are shown in motion, demonstrating how the fabric moves and the side slits open slightly with each stride.
The shorts are plain white with no prints, logos, or graphics on the main body, providing a blank surface for design rendering via Smart Object layers. The polyester fabric has a lightweight, slightly shiny appearance with visible woven texture suitable for Multiply blend mode compositing. The elastic waistband, drawstring, side pockets, mesh side panels, and curved hem with side slits are all visible construction details.
This template is suitable for e-commerce product listings, print-on-demand catalog generation, and automated mockup rendering. The five-angle coverage provides front print area, back print area, construction details, and lifestyle context for complete product pages.
