Curved Portrait Carousel: an interactive 3D cursor template
A ring of curved portrait cards; the cursor sets the spin, hovering a card lifts it and dims the rest.
Try it: Move left or right to spin · drag to throw. Open the live Curved Portrait Carousel full screen.
Where the Curved Portrait Carousel works best
Team pages, model and talent rosters, testimonials with faces, and product colourways shown as a ring.
How it is built
Every card is a plane bent along the arc of a cylinder in the vertex data, so the ring reads as one curved surface; spin speed comes from the cursor’s horizontal position. The whole effect is plain three.js in one module script. It renders only while it is on screen and caps the pixel ratio on high-density displays to protect performance.
Add it to your website
- Add a Code, Embed or Custom HTML block where the effect should sit (Webflow, Framer, WordPress, GoHighLevel, Shopify or plain HTML).
- Paste the snippet. It is one element and one script; three.js loads from a CDN.
- Edit the colours, images and words in the settings block, then publish.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Curved Portrait Carousel template free?
Anyone can open it live and try the interaction. Copying the code is included with a Scrollhaus plan.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. On touch screens it runs a gentle automatic motion so the scene is never still, and taps trigger the click interaction.
Do I need Spline or three.js experience?
No. It is one HTML element and one module script. Colours, text and images live in a settings block at the top.
