Good choice! I think you'll be pleased with the textured (and more realistic) results. Also, keep in mind that the darker the jersey - the more noise (and color noise) you have to use.
Although it's a matter of personal taste, since you are using the layer system, you can get away with lighter shading for a more realistic (and cleaner) look. I don't know if you read some of my previous threads about shading, but I always use
two layers of shading! The higher layer I always have set to
Normal, but the lower layer is set to
Darken,
Multiply, or
Color Burn depending on what looks best on the jersey color & darkness. Note also on the shading templates that some have
white backgrounds while others are
transparent. I generally prefer the white backgrounds because it makes the jersey look a little more worn & used (lighter/washed out). For brighter jerseys - use the transparent background on the shading.
Hope this info will be useful to you (or anyone else).
