Vortex Spin template: rings of cards spinning into a funnel

How Vortex Spin moves

Vortex Spin arranges cards in two to four concentric rings and spins them, the inner rings set deeper so the whole thing reads as a funnel. By default the rings alternate direction, and they are offset by half a card so pictures never line up like spokes. Cards can curve with their ring like slices of a donut or stay flat. A hypnotic background for a music, fashion or creative studio post, at 1:1 or 16:9.

In the studio you can tune its 8 settings along with the background, shadow and loop length, and your images never leave your device.
