Main features

Responsive Layout – Fully responsive and adaptable regardless of which device or screen size is used.

Desktop & Mobile Optimized – Adapts to any screen size and device, whether on iOS/iPhone, Android, or desktop browsers.

Lazy Scrolling/Loading – Option to initialize Oval Carousel only when it becomes visible on scroll, improving load performance when it starts off-screen.

Customizable Size – Set the carousel width and height to match your layout; add it anywhere inside your page content.

Preloader – Optional animated preloader while assets are loading.

Caption – Optional captions for carousel items and lightbox items.

Customizable Geometry – Configure the radius on the X and Z axes independently to create a true oval shape.

Customizable Item Bend Strength – Control how much each item bends while rotating to get the exact look you want.

Mouse Rotation – Subtle camera rotation that follows the mouse, with adjustable strength for fine-tuned interaction.

Scroll Speed Strength – Adjustable drag/scroll speed for smooth, responsive carousel control.

Optional Center Image Or 3D Model – Optional Center Image Or 3D Model means you can place an extra element in the middle of the oval carousel—either a static image (like a logo) or a real 3D model. It stays centered while the carousel items rotate around it, acting as a visual focal point. This lets you highlight branding or a featured object, and the 3D option can be lit realistically to match the scene.

Mouse Ripple Post-Processing Effect – Mouse Ripple Post-Processing effect adds an interactive “water ripple” distortion that reacts to your mouse movement, example here.

Buldge Post-Processing Effect – Applies a lens-like distortion that “pushes” or “pulls” the image in a circular area, like looking through a magnifying glass, example here.

Grid And Afterimage Post-Processing – Grid And Afterimage Post-Processing adds two stylized effects to the scene: a grid overlay and an “afterimage” trail. The grid effect gives a subtle structured/tech look (like a digital screen pattern), while the afterimage effect leaves a smooth motion trail behind moving elements, making rotations and transitions feel more dynamic and cinematic, example here.
