How to do it

  1. We've already added a container to our page and now we're going to insert the HTML5 3D Flipping Gallery. Click the HTML5 Flipping Gallery icon and the dialog will appear.

  1. In the HTML5 3D Flipping Gallery dialog you can either use the DMXzone Image Resizer or simply add your images.
     



  1. In this tutorial we will import a whole folder of images and for this click the import a whole folder icon.

  1. Select the images folder and click OK.


  1. For each image you can add a title (or auto generate it from the file name), description, rotation angle and an ID. When you're done, click the Advanced tab to customize the gallery.

  1. Our HTML5 3D Flipping Gallery container will be 800 x 450px (1) and we set the degrees of rotation (2) for the gallery images to 'random' in order to rotate them randomly.

  1. Because we used "random" for the images rotation, we set the max rotation to 10 (1), which is the default value. Also we want our images to be shuffled (2)

  1. We set the animation duration of the zoom to 400ms (1), which will be triggered on hover (2) and with a zoom of 1.3 times the image size (3).

  1. For our showcase we want the flip effect to be executed on mouse click (1) with a slide effect (2), flipping direction: left (3). We leave the rotation angle and the 3D perspective values by default. When you're done, click the OK button.

  1. Later on, if you need to change anything in the gallery, you can also use the property inspector.

  1. Now you can save your work and preview the result in the browser.
