Spherical Flow Slider WordPress & WooCommerce Plugin

About Spherical Flow Slider

Spherical Flow Slider is a Three.js powered 3D slider designed for smooth, drag‑driven interaction with configurable sensitivity and snap easing. It supports parallax, an optional hand‑cursor helper with on‑screen guidance, and built‑in GUI controls for live tweaking. Captions are rendered using MSDF fonts with adjustable bend strength, spacing, offsets, and colors, and navigation buttons can be enabled with custom styling. A modern post‑processing stack adds wave deformation and flowmap‑based effects for a fluid, cinematic feel.
