With 3D transforms, we can make simple elements more interesting by setting them into three dimensional space. Together with CSS transitions, these elements can be moved in 3D space and create a realistic effect. Today, we want to share an experimental 3D gallery with you that uses CSS 3D transforms.
The main idea is to create a circular gallery where we have an image in the center and two on the sides. Since we are using perspective, the two lateral images will appear three dimensional when we rotate them.
Please note that this will only work in browsers that support CSS 3D transforms.
How it works
The following HTML structure is used for the gallery:
<section id="dg-container" class="dg-container"> <div class="dg-wrapper"> <a href="#"> <img src="images/1.jpg" alt="image01"> <div>http://www.colazionedamichy.it/</div> </a> <a href="#"> <!-- ... --> </a> <!-- ... --> </div> <nav> <span class="dg-prev"><</span> <span class="dg-next">></span> </nav> </section>
And this is how the gallery is initialized:
$('#dg-container').gallery();
Options
The following options are available:
current : 0, // index of current item autoplay : false, // slideshow on / off interval : 2000 // time between transitions
I hope you enjoy it!
Good article, I’ve wrote a demo a few months ago which tries to achieve the same effect without javascript. There’s no autoplay obviously but the rest it’s pretty close imho: a pure css3 coverflow effect 🙂
Upfff ……………………. I don’t like it. I love it……………….great looking for this type of articles.
this is most beautiful 3d creation. very easly use
Amazing job!
Laggy in Firefox 10.0. When the page loads the left and right images are on top of the center image. Sometimes the left image disappears. Works great in Chrome.
On Opera it works just for one slide and then it’s not working, also laggy. “Invalid value for property: zoom”
Good!!! really really good!! Nice work!
Wow, I always adore 3D, love it.
Nice…tnx..
Amazing.
I noticed your email envelope icon link is broken.
I wanted to thank you for your tutorials. I merged your tutorial with Fotobook plugin for WordPress and I made a nice looking plugin.
I gave you credit of course.

A quick question: Is it normal for jQuery to quit on a few tens of webkit rotations?
The above script randomly fails to rotate all the pictures (added my -1 index for the inner-shadow to render on top of the images makes the non-rotated images to dissapear)
I found out the script is susceptible to any JS error. Even the layer.eventX deprecated (jQuery?) warning prevents the foreach script to finish rotating the images.
I’d appreciate you take a look at the code.
Do you have a effective way to make a mouseleave to “wait” a few seconds based on two readings of the mouse proximity to the element?
I’ve been trying to make the mouseentered image to “figure out” whether the pointer is approaching or not so it can wait in the hovered state a second, to prevent the rotating image moving away the pointer stuttering the mounseenter-leave-enter effect, without affecting the quick hover-out reaction if the pointer is just passing-by.
It work great on my Blog, Thanks!!
I want more code……
I see this demo in chrome browser (V16) flickering in the transitions,does anyone have an idea of why does this happens?
i´ve tried this with no luck
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;

nice…is there any way to stop it from changing the weight and opacity of all the fonts on the rest of my page?
Hey great 3d effect. I always check this site and always find something that is pleasing to my eyes. i have seen some effects like this but that was 3D accordion. This is the first time i have come across gallery. Really nice, small and sweet tutorial as well.
Wahou ! Nice 3D effect ! Goog job.
Nice!
Add “overflow: hidden” for fix scroll bar bug.
Sekuline.
Que buen slider, por lo que veo facil de implementar, gracias!!
Hi Pedro
Nice post, I haven’t experimented with css transitions yet but it is defiantly something I am looking to incorporate in future design work. I have used a similar effect recently but the jquery roundabout plugin I opted for caused numerous conflict issues in other areas of the site. Time for a change I think.
This is far from being great. It does not work in neither Firefox nor Opera. It degrades gracefully (no 3D effect) in IE, though. Until it does not work in common browsers, it’s useless for real websites. Do not build a Webkit-only Web! Just DON’T!
Awesome creativity, excellent experiment of css3 and jQuery. Liked it.
