Show HN: A CLI for quickly generating 3D device mockups

5 points

3 years ago

Device mockups usually require expensive and manual tools like Photoshop to generate. I was willing to sacrifice absolute quality for a tool that could do the job much faster.

Mockupgen [0] generates a 3D perspective mockup from a screenshot. Using premade templates (from the amazing work of Anthony Boyd [1]) and opencv, it masks, warps and composites the provided image onto a device rendering. I'm working on expanding the selection of devices offered (mostly MacBook and iPhone at the moment), which is a matter of finding more sources of free to use PSD mockups. Currently, it doesn't do any handling of reflections and shadows, but this is in the works.

Install with: pip install mockupgen

And run with: mockupgen screenshot.png
