Ah but that's the genius of it, it's not really lots of photographs - just one of the label and one of the lighting and shading of the can, as well as the top and bottom which don't appear to move : and
Aaah, I knew I should have spent more time looking. I gazed in admiration but didn't go any further. Very, very cool.
Very nicely done, if not particularly novel. (Well, the flattened Coke can and the illusion may be.) I recall using the effect when only Firefox supported it; though Opera came through, eventually. Seems I may have stolen it from Meyer's Complexspiral Demo. A look at the Meyer article suggests I was using it during the time of Opera5, whenever that was. cheers, gary
This is really great. I do not fully understand the CSS he uses, will take a carefully look to learn from this master!
You know, when I first saw this some... wow, it would be like four years ago, I was duly impressed... but looking back on it now... This is WAY too complex for something so simple. All those nested paragraph tags for what I think might be able to be done without fixing the background using only three or four div... I'm gonna take a stab at re-implmenting that in a simpler form... Though it won't 'scroll' - in my version the can should remain stationary while rotating. I do find it quite unusual it's been reposted with a new date as of last month - as I remember this from a heck of a lot longer ago... Though, huh. Last time I saw this he didn't have a displacement map... That WOULD take all those separate little elements to pull off for each 'stripe' of the rotation - though I still think it could be simplified... I'm gonna take a stab at it, see what I come up with.
