3D Gallery Studio

The default mode. Pick a fixed set of images from the WordPress media library; that exact set is laid out and stays the same wherever the gallery is used.

Opens the media picker to choose images for a static gallery. Add more at any time; the chosen thumbnails appear as a strip you can reorder or remove from.

Tip. The layout adapts to however many images you pick, so a set of 3 and a set of 12 both fill the wall.

Switches the source to a dynamic collection resolved from a post or WooCommerce product. Instead of fixed images, you choose what to collect (see the content-type rows below).

For a dynamic gallery, what to gather from the item.

Type to find the specific post or product to preview a dynamic gallery against while you design. In automation the gallery follows the current item instead.

Caps how many images a dynamic gallery collects, so a long post or a big "latest" feed still makes a tidy wall.

When on, a dynamic gallery ignores the previewed item and re-collects images from whatever post or product the automation run is generating for. This is what makes one template produce a per-item gallery.

Reshuffles the image order with a seeded random, so the wall looks arranged rather than sequential. The seed is stable, so re-renders stay identical.

How the collected images are ordered before layout: as picked, or the shuffled arrangement.

Even rows and columns of same-size tiles, the classic Instagram-style block. Set the column count and aspect.

Rows where each image keeps its own aspect ratio and the row is stretched to a flush edge, like a photo-gallery contact sheet.

Pinterest-style columns where tiles keep their aspect and stack with no row gaps, giving a portfolio wall.

An editorial mosaic that mixes large and small tiles into a woven block. Set columns to 0 to let it size itself.

A tessellating wall of shaped cells: hexagons, circles or diamonds packed into a honeycomb. Choose the cell shape and density.

A center image in focus with the rest angled away into depth on both sides, the iTunes-style flow. Set the angle and which tile is in focus.

A wall bent into an arc that wraps toward the camera, set by the curve span in degrees.

Tiles placed evenly around a ring you look into, ideal for a rotating product carousel.

Images stacked like a deck of cards with a slight fan, the top card fully visible.

Photos tossed onto a surface at random angles and offsets, like a pile of polaroids. Seeded, so the scatter is repeatable.

For the cells family, the mask geometry of each tile. Beyond the packing shapes, tiles can also be cut to decorative masks.

How many tiles across (or how tightly cells pack). More columns means smaller tiles and a denser wall.

The spacing between tiles, as a fraction of tile size. Zero butts photos edge to edge; larger values open the wall up.

Rounds the corners of every tile, from square photos to pill-soft cards.

The border treatment drawn around each photo.

The color of the frame, with a row of quick swatches (whites, creams, wood tones, charcoal, grey and gold) plus a full color picker.

A soft drop shadow under each tile that lifts the wall off the background. Set its strength.

A faint mirror of the wall on the ground plane, for a showroom feel. Strength runs roughly 0.08 to 0.6.

For scattered and stacked layouts, how much individual tiles differ in size, so the pile looks natural.

Randomly nudges tiles of a flat wall off their exact grid position for a hand-placed look. Seeded and repeatable.

Turns on a title pill on (or below) each tile. When on, the caption cards below appear.

The caption shown on each tile. For dynamic galleries this can bind to the image title or the item name.

The typeface for captions: pick from system fonts or the editor font library, in styles such as sans, serif, mono, condensed and handwriting.

Scales the caption text relative to the tile.

Where the caption pill sits relative to the photo.

The caption sits on a rounded pill. Set the pill background color, the text color and how opaque the pill is.

Turns the whole wall left or right around the vertical axis, showing its edge and depth.

Tips the wall forward or back around the horizontal axis, for a looking-up or looking-down angle.

The camera lens angle. A narrow field flattens perspective (telephoto); a wide field exaggerates depth.

Moves the camera closer or further, framing the wall tight or with breathing room.

Curves a flat wall toward the camera at the edges, from perfectly flat to a gentle wrap.

Pushes tiles apart along the view axis so the wall gains front-to-back layering instead of sitting on one plane.

For coverflow, which image is centered and in focus, and how much larger the focused tile is than its neighbours.

In the preview you can drag to orbit the wall and use the wheel to zoom, to find an angle by hand. The hint reads "Drag to orbit, wheel to zoom".

What fills the scene behind the gallery.

Renders your current editor design behind the gallery so you can compose the wall against the real layout before baking.

The collapsible row of preset chips. It starts compact; "Show all 24 presets" expands it and "Show fewer" collapses it again.

The presets are grouped by kind in this reference (walls, cells, depth, scatter) to keep the list readable. The studio itself shows them in one row behind an expand button; there are no category chips to filter by.

Flat-wall looks: Insta Grid, Gallery Wall, Masonry Portfolio, Editorial Mosaic, Justified Rows, Captioned Wall, Dot Wall, Floating Wall, Pulse Wall.

Cell layouts: Honeycomb, Diamond Facets, and the circle-cell Team Circles.

Presets that use real depth: Coverflow, Product Carousel, Product Arc, Curved Wall, Showcase Orbit, Cinema Pan, Hero Spotlight, Film Strip.

Casual piles: Polaroid Pile, Card Deck, Memory Board, Team Polaroids.

Presets and every change render live against your document, so you judge the gallery in place before inserting.

The kind of looping movement applied to the whole wall.

The length of one loop. Shorter is livelier; longer is calmer. The exports use this as the loop duration.

How far the motion travels, for example the swing angle of a sway. Swing runs about 4 to 30 degrees.

All motions are built to loop cleanly ("Loops seamlessly in video and embed exports"), so the video-loop and HTML-embed outputs never stutter at the wrap.

Bakes the current wall into your design as an image layer. The layer remembers its generator settings, so you can reopen and change it later.

Saves the baked gallery straight into the WordPress media library as a new image, without inserting it into the open document.

Records the animated wall as a seamless video loop for social or hero use. Exports MP4 with a WebM fallback; set the length with Seconds. A still scene is not a problem: the recording switches the animation to Sway for the take and puts it back afterwards.

Exports an interactive, drag-to-rotate gallery as a self-contained HTML snippet driven by the bundled runtime.js (a [data-wpie-3dgallery] block). Visitors can orbit and zoom it live.

Bakes a turntable spin as a single sprite sheet image plus a tiny viewer, so the gallery can be spun by the visitor with no 3D at runtime.

Inserts a standalone 360 viewer of the spinning wall.

Downloads the individual spin frames as a ZIP, for use in your own slider or viewer.

When you opened the studio from an existing gallery layer (Edit 3D Gallery), this replaces that layer in place with your changes instead of adding a new one.

A preview toggle that composites your current design behind the gallery, so you export it framed exactly as it will sit in the layout.
