CU3OX: 3D Flash slideshow maker

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 17:43:50 +0100

CU3OX is free Flash image slideshow creating software with which users can create fancy Flash slideshows for a website, VLE etc.

The software has an interesting 3D transition effect – the images are...

sliced;
rotated;
bounced; and then
joined together to form an image.

The Flash banner on CU3OX's homepage provides enough clues on what the software has got in store for anybody who decides to download the free version of the software.

The impressive thing about CU3OX is users don't need to have any professional skills in Flash, HTML, CSS and Javascript to create them.

The software's point and click interface allows users to put together a quick slideshow within minutes. Just...

add a collection of images to CU3OX;
specify the description - choose to have visible or not; click on individual images to change Header and/or Description; and
adjust transition properties for each image

Because CU3OX doesn't produce a hard coded Flash movie with embedded images, editing the resulting slideshow and adding or deleting new slides is easy as well.

Visit http://cu3ox.com/ to download and/or to find out more.

Mustachify

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:14:48 +0100

I hope you find that most of the web applications, that I put in the eMagazine, are useful; others, I know, can be just silly!

Guess which kind Mustachify is? If you didn't guess...

Mustachify puts mustaches onto people's faces.

Here's how it works (does it require an explanation?)

Copy the link to any photo on the web (right-click and select properties; copy the image location) and
paste the link (location URL) into Mustachify.
Mustachify will then analyze the photo for any faces and automatically insert a mustache where one is needed.

Go on try it out at http://www.cloudnine.se/mustaschify/default.aspx, you know you want to!

Note: It may not work with some images that are protected.

Pictures4fun is one of a number of websites that will let visitors manipulate their own pictures.

the cover of magazines,

Pictures4Fun is simplicity in itself...

pick the intended effect;
upload the picture.

It is as easy as that.

Supported formats include JPEG (JPG), GIF and PNG but, the image should not exceed 8 MB. Other than that, it is a mere matter of picking the right image for the right context and getting ready to have some fun.

Your Face in 20 Years

Sun, 09 May 2010 15:16:01 +0100

What will you look like in 20 years' time?

Will you end up looking like your mother/father?

The "Your Face in 20 Years" website will let you find one possible answer right away.

Basically, this website lets you...

specify gender (male/female);
choose a morph of +20 or +30 year;
see what the future holds for you if you are and/or become a drug addict; then
browse for a picture of your face to upload; and
have it processed into what you will look like!

Are the results are too accurate to be comfortable?

I know this is quite perverse, but I am sure many of you will use this service, just as I did.
