# Templates
The [`mockupgen-templates`](https://github.com/rmenon1008/mockupgen-templates) repository contains the default templates used by `mockupgen`. They are all based on mockups created by [Anthony Boyd](https://www.anthonyboyd.graphics/). You can see the available templates with `mockupgen --list`.

## Custom templates
Instead of using the default templates, you can supply your own by specifying `--custom-template-dir`. The directory or URL should contain an index.json file with the following format:
```jsonc
// index.json
// Note: All paths are relative to this file

{
    "index_version": 1.0,                  // Version of the template index
    "templates": [
        {
            // Required fields
            "name": "Macbook Pro 16 Silver (Green Background)",
            "slug": "mbp-16-silver-green", // Try to follow device-size-color-background format
            "base_file": "base.png",       // The device template image
            "screen_points": [             // The pixel locations of the 4 corners of the screen
                [896, 224],                // Starts in the top left and goes counter clockwise
                [896, 654],
                [1471, 985],
                [1471, 555]
            ],

            // Only one of the two options below must be specified
            "mask_file": "mask.png",  // An image used to mask the screenshot (alpha channel used)
            // OR
            "mask_aspect_ratio": 1.0, // Aspect ratio to mask the screenshot (assumes rectangular)

            // Optional fields
            "black_white_point": ["292826", "D9DCDD"], // Black and white points
                                                       // for color correction
            "brightness": 1.0,        // Brightness adjustment of the screenshot
            "contrast": 1.0           // Contrast adjustment of the screenshot
        },
        ...
    ]

# About
Mockups typically require expensive and slow image processing tools to create. While these can create very realistic mockups, they're very manual and usually overkill for the blog post thumbnail I'm trying to create.

The tool uses opencv to mask, warp and composite screenshots onto a template. Right now, it doesn't do any lighting or shadow effects.
