WordPress FlipBook 1.12.5 – Interactive 3D FlipBook Powered Physics Engine WordPress Plugin

3D FlipBook allows to browse images, PDFs or HTMLs as flipping book. It can be used for demonstration magazines, books, cards, brochures, booklets and much more in natural way. It helps to attract user attention and make more impression on him.

3D FlipBook allows to customize the shape of flipping pages but it is still not enough to be unique.

The main feature is using specially designed physics engine that perform all interaction with a user. This engine is based on physics laws so all user actions with the model seems realistic. The plugin allow you drag and throw pages together. The engine solve the collisions and show natural scene.

Physics engine has a lot of properties: gravity, mass, flexibility, page flipping velocities and much more. But it is little necessary to know for using the plugin because all those properties have default presets.

3D FlipBook allow to create real volume book, with real page thickness. It is able to simulate book opening process. Modeled book repeat the same actions as its real prototype: while the cover is opening or closing the internal pages are deforming as it happens in life. The deformation can be customized. You can reduce it or switch off.

Main features:

Skins support. Supporting skins makes customization very easy. It is necessary just to choose appropriate skin and that is all. Now there are available skins for light and dark themes – the most universal ones.

HTML, PDF, images as sources. The plugin can use PDF, images and HTMLs as texture for pages. Supporting HTML format as texture is a new technology no one of other plugins support it. HTML allow easily create interactive books, handle user events, manage plugin behaviour. Using HTML textures is next important step in development web animation.

User friendly. 3D FlipBook is designed to be maximum user friendly. It has familiar to user page flipping control. Flexible corners help user to understand that he can turn the page by means drag and drop technology. Physics engine computes page transforms in similar to real world way. Modeling book is close to natural book – it has the same volume and shape. It is possible to use hard flat covers to create hard bending and use flexible pages, make whole book flexible or flat.

High performance. The plugin performance does not depend on number of pages because it does not manage single pages. 3D FlipBook works with blocks of pages, it allows to keep in memory just visible for user pages. So if the book is closed then there are 2 or 3 blocks. The first is left cover, the second is right cover and third is internal pages. If the book is opened there can be two blocks for left and right internal pages. There can be more blocks just when the flipping animation is performing. The plugin has no problem with more than 50 simultaneously flipping blocks. When the turn is finished the turned block merges with neighbour block.

For fast rendering 3D graphics 3D FlipBook uses WebGL. WebGL is a API for creating interactive 3D graphics without using plugins.

Interactive and responsive. Supporting HTML opens wide abilities for creating interactive books. It allows to use CSS3 and JavaScript, create navigation, use hover effects and much more.

Easy to use and customize. The plugin has a lot of customization options, supports skins, so it is possible to create own skin or customize style or template files of existing.
