MOCKAPS / PRODUCT NOTESA WORK IN PROGRESS. ALWAYS.

THE MOCKAPS CHANGELOG

Little changes.
Better creating.

Notes from the studio: what’s new, what’s improved, and the details that make Mockaps better to use.

  1. Site & emails

    STUDIO NOTE / 12

    A little more character, from notes to your inbox

    Product updates and account emails now share the warm paper styling of the rest of Mockaps.

    • Changelog updates appear as notes on paper, with dates beside each entry.
    • Verification, password reset, and purchase emails have clearer copy and blue action buttons.
    • Emails include plain-text versions and readable purchase details.

    STUDIO NOTE / 11

    A quieter page around the mockup studio

    The header, footer, and template details on a mockup page now match the rest of the site. The studio itself stays the same.

    • The mockup page header and footer use the editorial layout at the studio width.
    • About this template uses quieter type, tags, and a founder card.
    • The 3D editor, lighting, and download controls are unchanged.
  3. Site

    STUDIO NOTE / 10

    A calmer look for the public pages

    The homepage, library, pricing, about, and contact pages now share one editorial layout.

    • Public pages use a warm paper background, serif emphasis, and the same buttons and spacing.
    • Search, login, signup, and account follow that layout. Account tools work as before.
    • A missing page shows a branded 404 with search and a way back to the library.

    STUDIO NOTE / 09

    An optional longer ground shadow

    Scene settings can switch the ground shadow to a longer directional shadow. The soft contact shadow stays the default.

    • Projected shadow is in Scene, under Environment, and starts off.
    • Turning it on uses the existing key light for a longer shadow across the ground.
    • Shadow opacity still controls it, and a saved scene keeps the choice.

    STUDIO NOTE / 08

    A tighter toolbar on phones

    On a narrow phone, Focus mode and the turntable shrink to icons so Download and the view controls stay on one row.

    • Focus mode is an icon, so Download stays beside it and its menu opens on screen.
    • The turntable sits with Camera, Lighting, and the aspect ratio as a rotate icon.
    • Tapping Warm studio or Basic lighting applies the choice on iPhone.

    STUDIO NOTE / 07

    Basic lighting is the starting point

    Mockups open with the original Basic lighting. A scene saved for that template still replaces it.

    • Templates without a saved studio scene start on Basic lighting instead of Warm studio.
    • Warm studio is still available from the Lighting menu.
    • Lighting and background saved by an admin stay as they were saved.

    STUDIO NOTE / 06

    A refreshed mockup studio

    The mockup studio has a clearer layout, softer colors and more room to create.

    • Design, Materials, Scene and Motion controls share a rounded, consistent interface.
    • Switch to Split View to design beside the live 3D preview, then resize the panes to fit your workflow.
    • Warm studio lighting and a Sand background provide a softer starting point, with Basic lighting still available.
    • Compact animation controls and reachable image tools keep the canvas clear as you work.
  8. Editor

    STUDIO NOTE / 05

    Ungrouped SVG pieces stay in place

    Ungrouping a more detailed SVG keeps the shapes as vectors, and a crop on the original file no longer shifts the pieces.

    • Shapes stay as SVG instead of being flattened into images.
    • Artwork that uses clips or patterns stays visible after ungroup.
    • Cropping an SVG and then ungrouping it leaves each piece where it was.
