Okay, so here is what I did so far. I had to rewrite the entire logic from the glitch example so that is not good anymore. The only issue that I have now is that when maximizing, if the mesh is far left or right, there is a big shift, and it looks bad. The minimize is perfect and prety much the rest, after this bug is fxied I can do the little deatisl like lerp visual speed and other stuff..
I think this is the way they did it on the original website not sure… I mean the dargging/maximize/minimize
Here is the project, inside there is the full project in Vite, the code that we need to fix is in the .js/FWDLSSliderManager.js http://webdesign-flash.ro/p/ls/zip.zip
The methods responsible for this are updatePosition and goToItem…
I hope you will figure this out I am exhausted, i can’t see things right anymore…
As it is a paid job, most likely you plan to earn more than $400, so I can share the code, if you agree to the following conditions:
the code is provided as it is, so you do not ask me for additional support
you can play with the code and decide whether to use it completely, or just fragments from it, or ideas from it
if you actually use it in your code, you have two options:
3.1. either your software and its source are provided as open source
3.2 or you find a way and sponsor the Three.js development with an amount that you consider fair
I lost the client for this project so at this point is just a personal obsession, I just want to inderatand the logic behind it, I triied so many things…
Thanks. Here is the source code. I hope it would be helpful. Let me know whether it works as expected, because when you try it for real, you may find some problems.
It seams like exactly what I need, I will keep you posted..
I knoew I was missing some pivot/origin for the animation but I had not clue how to implement it, and I tried at the end I lost sanity anbd went copy paste from chatgpt and boy I tried, it made such a mess… to be honest I use AI for some time now, is it me or is getting dumber , it surtenly dose not feel like AI…
Generally, this is not my business, but in my opinion, seeing your commercial activity (which I have no problem with), you should pay the 400 bucks to Pavel and leave the code open, because 99.99% of your potential clients will not be able to implement it anyway…
Whatever…
It doesn’t look good to me, but maybe I’m oversensitive. I’ll tell you how I would do it… If I had such a situation and, for example, your code solved part of the key logic of my problem, I would feel obliged to pay you something for it, maybe not all of it, but some part of it. Look at it from this side, you publish a job offer, and you collect crumbs on the forum, and from these crumbs you bake the whole bread again… So if you are so motivated, just post your question on the forum, but not in the JOBS section, because from what I see, at least 3/2 people have already made a significant contribution to your project, and you still have 400 bucks in your pocket.
But no offense … I just think that when someone does something for me, I do something for him…
EDIT
You edited your answer, so let me edit mine…
To be completely honest, it’s a little hard for me to believe these explanations… You’re telling me that you’ve already spent 600 bucks and no one (sic!) was able to help you with a RELATIVELY simple thing… C’mon…
If we add the current 400 bucks, that gives us $1000. For that amount of money, I think Aristide Benoist himself he would send you the solution to his slider… And if that happened, for me as a lawyer it would be an interesting case on the border between copyright and intellectual property law.
But again, don’t be angry on me, my friend, under any circumstances. I just talk about transparency, especially since, as you know, there are people on this forum who are incredibly talented, and it would be good to appreciate their contribution somehow…
This doesn’t sound good… and don’t take it like attack or something like this.
So now even if you get what you want, you don’t know if you will pay? Because you write “…if need be”. How are we to understand this? I understand it this way: I will use someone else’s code and work and I will pay him under certain conditions known only to me. I don’t know if you remember, but this is the JOBS section, and as the name of this concept means - people do work and get paid for it.
Let me tell you something my friend, I have been running business in IT for almost 15 years, but if I were to say to my potential contractors “I will pay the contractor if needed...”, I would probably starve.
I’m not saying it’s simple… That’s why I clearly wrote RELATIVELY…
… I just think that when someone does something for me, I do something for him…
