Glass Fold Ticker

Glass Fold Ticker loops a row of images through a corridor that folds toward you. The middle stays flat, the edges break into angled glass panels that dim and catch the light as they turn. Drag it and throw it, or let it run on its own.

Images

• Images. Up to 24, looped in the order you add them

• Image Fit. Fill crops to the card, Fit shows the whole image

Layout

• Card Width, Card Height. Match your image ratio

• Gap. Space between cards. 0 for one continuous picture

• Padding. Room above and below for the walls to lean into

Glass

• Panels. Equal panels per card. More panels, smoother bend

• Refract. Slides the picture inside each panel, breaking the image at the seams

• Chroma. Prism fringe along the panel edges

• Sheen. Reflection across each pane

• Light. How much a panel dims as it turns away, equal on both walls

• Edge, Edge Size. Seam line on the folds between panels

Depth

• Flat Area. How much of the width stays flat before the fold starts

• Angle. How far the walls turn. 0 is a flat ticker

• Curve, Perspective. How soft the bend is, how close the camera sits

• Walls. Fold toward you, or back like a curved screen

Behavior

• Speed, Direction. Set Speed to 0 for a drag-only carousel

• Drag. Drag and throw, then it glides back to auto speed

• Hover. Slows smoothly to a stop while hovered

Setup

1. Drop it in and set the width to Fill

2. Add your images in the order they should run

3. Set Card Width and Card Height to your image ratio

4. Set Background to the colour behind the ticker

5. Tune Flat Area and Angle until the walls sit well

Do

• Use images that share the same aspect ratio

• Set Gap to 0 for slices of one picture

• Leave top and bottom padding for the walls

• Keep Panels between 4 and 6 for smoothness and speed

Don't

• Don't mix aspect ratios, every card is the same size

• Don't raise Refract when the images form one picture
