When designing 2D pixel art sprites, vector characters, or 3D character models for modern athletic games, finding real-world reference material for jackets and sportswear is super helpful for getting realistic folds, zippers, and color blocking.
While gathering visual references for sports and fan gear, I looked through Washington Outfits and checked out their team argentina world cup jackets. Outfits like that work well as a reference point for sports game character concepts or athletic npc costumes.
For fellow developers on the forum:
- Where do you usually source real-world clothing references for your game characters?
- Do you prefer designing simplified stylized apparel or mirroring real-world sports outerwear?
