Warning: Highly Addictive! New Interactive 3D LJ Galleries

That is really fantastic Martin!

Great job!

Martin,

That is a really cool feature. Especially being able to link to it. Thanks Martin

I’m gonna dissent here, I don’t think the 3D part enhances the gallery experience at all. I prefer the current lightbox gallery used on the project pages. I like the idea of a full gallery, just not this implementation.

WOW! Martin.

You really surprised me with this new feature.

It sure is nice. What a beautiful way to display pictures.

I’m not sure if I fully understand how the Bookmark feature works.

Maybe you can explain how it works.

Martin,

You have simply got to stop this. When am I going to find the time to start, much less post, any projects and try to keep up with what is going on with the site. So much to do and so little time.

Seriously you don’t get enough accolades for the job that you do.

Thanks for all the effort you are putting into this site.

This is awesome, I will be playing with this for a while. But, I need to post more!! Ok I’ve suddenly got the urge to create.

It is interesting, but I think I am with Damian. If there were some way to actually render the project into true 3-D it might be great.

Damian, this gallery is the additional feature. Our standard project pictures viewer is still there. Plus I want to add more views to the galleries: slideshow etc.

It’s a way to make LumberJocks unique and even more enjoyable ;)

Martin you have done it again…... Way Cool….

-- Brian's Table Top Toys http://home.mountaincable.net/~bgraham/

Nice.
I like that the portrait/landscape views are both shown in full (unlike the large thumbnails on the main project page).
I guess it would be nice to see all three of the pictures for each project.

Thanks Martin. Keep it comming.

Very nice implementation Martin! I Like it.

I realize it’s an additional feature Martin, I just feel the 3D approach is a bit gimmicky, and that something a tad simpler would provide a better user experience. Something along the lines of this or this

I see I’m in the minority though so I’ll just pipe down :)

Hey Martin,,,,it put another smile on my face, well done!

-- Les, Wichita, Ks. (I'd rather be covered in saw dust!)

I think this is kind of unique!

Martin, that is so sweeeeeeeeeet!!!

-- Grant...."GO BUCKEYES"

works great on my wifes laptop, but my buggy old dinosaur doesn’t let it play.

cool feature though !

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

I think you’ve outdone yourself Martin!!
I think this is fantastic!
great work, and thanks again for all you do!

This is way cool to view other LJer’s galleries.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

That’s awesome
This has been by far the most entertaining forum or website that I have visited. We all need to remember this when it comes time to supporting this site. Lets keep Martin motivated so he keeps up the great work

Looks like someone’s been playing with PaperVision3D … :) Nice work, Martin. As a Flash developer myself, I can appreciate the work that went into that. Working wood is not the only way some of us express our creativity!

-- Dublin, OH

Oh yes, I like that a lot!

Whoa, I leave for a day to actually do some work and look at this – 3D!

-- --Chuck

I do like being able to see our entire gallery of projects on one page, rather than having a few pages to scroll through.

Damian I totally agree with you, I looked at it and thought it was a bit to much. Simpler is better in my humble opinion. But you are right we are the minority here. But I thought I would back you up.

-- Kaleo , http://www.kalafinefurniture.com

Thank you Martin. This is so good that I send the site to all my friends and some of my enemies.

-- Zipsss

Okay … this is gonna sound silly, but this almost makes me car sick. :)

I think because I work all day on the Internet for my job (and with lots of flash designers), I appreciate simplicity.
I don’t see where the animation really enhances the projects themselves, and definitely not the viewing experience.

Martin, because you do such an awesome job on the site, it’s really difficult to say anything that feels like criticism. The last thing I would want to do would be to discourage you in any way. I think you show a lot of forethought by making this optional.

for me, I liked being able to see the selection, zoom in on one and flip it to see the title (maybe that’s a plus for “getting old eyesight”)

Some flash stuff, to me, is there just for the flash but i personally don’t get this feeling from this feature.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

It’s nice and being able to view things the way you want (options) is always great. “3D approach is a bit gimmicky”? Maybe but I always enjoyed seeing what can be done and deciding on what I want.

Martin – Was this a plug in or did you create this mostly from scratch?

-- "so much to learn and so little time"..

Great Martin. mike

-- Mike. mwurm13@yahoo.com

HOLY THUMBNAILS BATMAN, That’s flippin’ COOL!!!

Martin, Martin, Martin… Oh Martin. What will you think of next?

-- Check out my new website! http://www.blakeweberwoodworking.com

i think its pretty cool, however it seems whatever pic you posted first on your project shows up on it . i edited one of my projects and switched the pics to get the one i wanted up there and it worked fine , however the storyline i wrote no longer made sense . is there another way to choose which of your 3 pic you want to show up in the 3 d screen ?

mrtrim, only the first picture is used in the galleries. First pictures are considered main project thumbnails and are shown also on the projects pages.

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka

thanks martin , on future projects i need to be more thoughtful how i post them . thanks again

Martin this is way way cool, thank you.

-- Andy Stark

Pretty cool. Keep em coming

-- Jeff, South Carolina

Well – yet another feature to make LumberJocks the top spot on the net. Great job Martin, the site is constantly evolving into a better place all the time.
