The HTML5 Microzone is presented by DZone and Microsoft to bring you the most interesting and relevant content on emerging web standards. Experience all that the HTML5 Microzone has to offer on our homepage and check out the cutting edge web development tutorials on Script Junkie, Build My Pinned Site, and the HTML5 DevCenter.
Today I have prepared a new great CSS3 demonstration. This is a 3D
slideshow where I have used WebKit CSS 3D transforms. In the demo you
will see a free-floating 3D object with photos. But – you have to use
Chrome or Safari to see all these delights.

Ok, download the example files and let's start coding !
Step 1. HTML
First, let's create the main HTML markup. As you can see – the structure is quite minimal as usual and contains only several DIV and IMG elements.
index.html<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" >
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>CSS3 Animated Photo Slider | Script Tutorials</title>
<link href="css/layout.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="css/slider.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h2>CSS3 Animated Photo Slider</h2>
<a href="http://www.script-tutorials.com/css3-animated-photo-slider/" class="stuts">Back to original tutorial on <span>Script Tutorials</span></a>
</header>
<div class="slider">
<div class="x_rot">
<div class="y_rot">
<div id="i1">
<img src="images/1.jpg" />
</div>
<div id="i2">
<img src="images/2.jpg" />
</div>
<div id="i3">
<img src="images/3.jpg" />
</div>
<div id="i4">
<img src="images/4.jpg" />
</div>
<div id="i5">
<img src="images/5.jpg" />
</div>
<div id="i6">
<img src="images/6.jpg" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Step 2. CSS
Now, here are the CSS rules that will transform our markup into a great animated photo slider. I have already commented the CSS below, so you can see the major parts of this file.
css/slider.css/* Animations with keyframes */
@-webkit-keyframes x_rot {
0% { -webkit-transform: rotateX(-30deg); }
50% { -webkit-transform: rotateX(30deg); }
100% { -webkit-transform: rotateX(-30deg); }
}
@-webkit-keyframes y_rot {
0% { -webkit-transform: rotateY(0deg); }
50% { -webkit-transform: rotateY(180deg); }
100% { -webkit-transform: rotateY(360deg); }
}
/* main styles */
.slider {
margin: 250px auto;
-webkit-perspective: 1000; /* setup perspective to parent */
}
.x_rot {
-webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;
-webkit-animation-name: x_rot; /* setup custom animations */
-webkit-animation-duration: 6s;
-webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
-webkit-animation-timing-function: ease;
}
.y_rot {
-webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;
-webkit-animation-name: y_rot; /* setup custom animations */
-webkit-animation-duration: 10s;
-webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
-webkit-animation-timing-function: linear;
}
.y_rot div {
color: rgba(0,0,0,0.9);
height: 235px;
left: 300px;
opacity: 0.8;
position: absolute;
width: 235px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-transition: .3s;
}
.y_rot div#i1 {
-webkit-transform: rotateY(0deg) translateZ(200px);
}
.y_rot div#i2 {
-webkit-transform: rotateY(60deg) translateZ(200px);
}
.y_rot div#i3 {
-webkit-transform: rotateY(120deg) translateZ(200px);
}
.y_rot div#i4 {
-webkit-transform: rotateY(180deg) translateZ(200px);
}
.y_rot div#i5 {
-webkit-transform: rotateY(240deg) translateZ(200px);
}
.y_rot div#i6 {
-webkit-transform: rotateY(300deg) translateZ(200px);
}
.y_rot div img {
height:235px;
width:235px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-transition: .3s;
}
/* onhover effect */
.y_rot div#i1:hover,
.y_rot div#i2:hover,
.y_rot div#i3:hover,
.y_rot div#i4:hover,
.y_rot div#i5:hover,
.y_rot div#i6:hover {
opacity: 1;
}
.y_rot div#i1:hover img,
.y_rot div#i2:hover img,
.y_rot div#i3:hover img,
.y_rot div#i4:hover img,
.y_rot div#i5:hover img,
.y_rot div#i6:hover img{
height:335px;
width:335px;
margin-left:-50px;
margin-top:-50px;
}
/* pause main animation onhover */
.x_rot:hover {
-webkit-animation-play-state: paused;
}
.y_rot:hover {
-webkit-animation-play-state: paused;
}
Today, I omit styles of page layout (layout.css). This is not important right now. File will available in package.

Conclusion
Today we have made another great CSS3 photo slideshow. Just one note, as above: we have used CSS3 animation with 3D Transforms – and this is supported only in Chrome and Safari browsers. For more information – look here. Let's hope that coming versions of FF will support this too. Happy Holidays, and, you are welcome to leave your comments here!

HTML5 is the most dramatic step in the evolution of web standards. It incorporates features such as geolocation, video playback and drag-and-drop. HTML5 allows developers to create rich internet applications without the need for third party APIs and browser plug-ins. Under the banner of HTML5, modern web standards such as CSS3, SVG, XHR2, WebSockets, IndexedDB, and AppCache are pushing the boundaries for what a browser can achieve using web standards. This Microzone is supported by Microsoft, and it will delve into the intricacies of using these new web technologies and teach you how to make your websites compatible with all of the modern browsers.
