Description

Impress employers with a 3D "cover flow" portfolio built with Papervision3D. This can also be used as a 3D menu for launching audio, video, full size images, zip file downloads, PDF's, or anything else you can think of.
Features:
  • 1. customizable via XML and CSS without having to touch any code.
  • 2. create an unlimited number of items without creating a mess; only 9 items will ever be displayed at any given moment regardless of how many items are in your xml file and the user will still be able to easily browse forward and backward through all of the items
  • 3. A single click on an item makes it the selected item, which displays a description of the item in a text area above the cover flow. the item description is specified in the included xml file.
  • 4. A double click on the selected item triggers the launch of the item. The behavior is based on the mime type (file extension) of the value for the respective item in the xml file. For example, if it is a zip file, it will prompt the user to select a download location; if the value has a .html extension, it will make a URLRequest for that link in a new browser window.

The application can be customized and extended in many ways.

Here is an example: http://www.danorlando.com/portfolio/bin-release/DanPortfolio.html

Notice the 4 buttons in the header allow the user to switch categories, which generates an entirely new 3D cover flow. Each category is linked to its own XML document for the sake of simplicity.
