What is a 3D photo cube?
three -dimensional (3D) Photo Cube is a computer application or script that shows a six -sided cube on the screen and each of the cube face contains a picture or photo, usually defined by a user. Relatively simple 3D photographic cube elements allow the use of an effect in almost any context, including a computer saver, multimedia applications, websites and built -in devices, and as a filter of special effects in some graphic image editors. In most implementations, the cube is not static, but it constantly rotates on the axis and sometimes even slowly moves over the screen. More complex versions of 3D photographic cubes may have additional effects applied to the cube, including reflections, animations and interactive elements that allow the user to move or control a cube. Each of the faces of the cube can contain different photographs and the cube turns slowly so each of the six photos will be displayed over time while indicating other photos that may not be ina full view. Some programs even allow cycling of different photos over time, so the pictures on the sides of the cube automatically change at the intervals.
One complication that 3D cube of photos can have is the fact that each face on the cube is a square, while the shape of most photos is rectangular. The default behavior of some 3D photographic cube applications in this regard varies, but may include the image cropping on a smaller size, concentrating a larger image, so the center is displayed on a square or scaling of the image, so that at the top and bottom of the cube is the gutter. A better result would require the user to edit digital photos, so it is before loading them into the 3D application.
The more advanced version of the 3D Photo Cube program may include interactivity as one of its functions. This can be particularly fun when the program is running nand a pocket device in which the angle and the pitch of the device can be connected to the movements of the cube. Some cubes are programmed to follow the mouse cursor or to change based on the keyboard input. One of the common features is the ability to switch from 3D photo cubes to viewing on the entire screen for a photo facing the screen.
