In this 3D gallery the photos rotate around you like a carousel. When you move across an image or click on it, the picture flips towards you making several volts.

Background color

By clicking on "color" it will be possible to set the background color of the gallery. You can also select a background image in the "Other" tab instead. The background image will overwrite the color setting.

Selecting Images and URLs

In the Images section you can select the images you want to be displayed in the gallery, each image should be linked to a page, you can set the relative page in the URLs section, please remember to put the links in the same order of the images. Note that you can leave the URL's empty or leave a "-" character so that the URLs are not invoked.

Image Movement Modes

Two navigation modes are supported. In one the images move when you move the mouse across them. Note that you must make sure that the space between the images is somewhat large, otherwise two images at the time will move. In the second mode the images move when you click on them only.

Auto Invoke

In the image click mode, you can decide whether the URL related to that image should be instantly invoked after the image is fully zoomed, or let the user click a second time on the image to invoke the Url.

Rotation settings

The rotation speed together with the Rotations setting will give you different behaviour for the image. The rotations is set to default at 1, but you can set it to higher numbers if you want the images to flip more than once.

Dead Center, Initial Speed and Mouse Sensitivity

The dead center is an area (in pixels) in the center of the applet in which the mouse won't move the images. The initial speed will be the speed in pixels of the gallery when it first shows up on the page and the user has not moved the mouse across it. The mouse sensitivity will give you stronger movements of the gallery the higher it is.

Minimum and Maximum image heights

These settings will set the height of the images when resting (when they are not zoomed) and when zoomed. The maximum image height should roughly be the same height of the applet. The image width will be automatically adapted so that the image aspect ratio is preserved.

Carousel Size and perspective

The carousel size will set the radius of the carousel. This should be about the same size as the applet width. But it is a matter of taste. The perspective will affect the appearance of the moving images when they move into the center.
