Did you ever want to present your woodworking creations in an exciting interactive 3D viewer? Well, now you can do just that using our new LumberJocks Gallery feature:

Go to your “My Home” page and click on the VIEW GALLERY button to open your personal gallery:

An option to exclude the project from your Gallery Viewer is located on the project create/edit page. This way you can control which projects will be displayed in your gallery.
Plus it’s easy as 1-2-3 for the public to bookmark and share your gallery page by using the included BOOKMARK button as well as the visible link to your gallery.

Here’s the sample: Todd's Gallery
Have fun and proudly share your Woodworking Gallery… you may use it as your portfolio or just for fun.
Note that the gallery requires the latest Flash Player

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.

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 ;)

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.

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

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?

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.
