Composed a new intro video for my app @WakeUpLight. It's made from the beautiful bedroom scene I already used for the in-app intro.

Goal: Give an intro to the idea of automating your smart home accessories to create your own wake-up light when people visit the website.

So I embedded it into the website at https://wakeuplight.app and hope it brings light into the darkness 💡😉

I strive to make my apps multilingual, but I only speak German and English.

Translators and automated translations miss the context in short texts (which #uidesign consist of a lot) too often. Like whether the label "Sun" refers to the star or Sunday. Also answer things like how long should a text be, or in which tone. Simple glossaries are way too limited here.

So now I'm adding descriptions to all strings of @WakeUpLight to help in that #localization process.

Early this year I used AI (and some manual photoshop work) to create a nice looking isometric bedroom scene to illustrate the premium mode screen of my app Wake Up Light https://wakeuplight.app.

My art skills suck and this image was a big step in the direction I wanted my Premium screen to look (not perfect though). I created a simple scroll animation in SwiftUI to get my users to scroll down and see all premium features and I like it so far. 🤩

Using AI was a first step of getting a nice visual for my premium screen. But it never felt like what I really envisioned.

I wanted the bedroom scene lighting to be animatable – because in the end, this is what my app does: Turning on lights, fading their brightness and changing their color over time to match a natural sunrise in the morning.

This is why I looked for a 3d designer to re-create the scene and I am so happy with the result! 🤩 #iOSDev #SwiftUI #Animation #3d #3dart #blender
