3D ImageCube 2.0 is a Java program that runs on any PC
running Windows (95/98/NT). A browser capable of 
displaying VRML is required to view 3D ImageCube
creations.

3D ImageCube is fun software designed to display a set
of images or digital photographs in a 3D environment,
on the faces of a cube, "inner" carousel, or "outer"
carousel.

The following new features have been added to 
3D ImageCube for version 2.0:

- A visual interface for creating cubes and carousels
- Three sizes for cubes and carousels
- Option to link each face to a separate URL
- Option to add a caption to each face
- Auto processing of images for bandwidth efficiency 
- Simple, yet elegant, image editor 
- VCR, VCR (initially hidden), and Mini 3D Controls
- Target windows and Frames support for hyperlinks
- Easy FTP feature for publishing results

With 3D ImageCube 2.0, you are minutes away from creating
interactive, 3D photo scenes. For example, you can create
a small spinning cube which can be rotated with the mouse.
This makes a great Web page adornment, in around 10K. As
another example, you can create a medium sized photo
carousel, put it in frames, and use it as an interactive,
visually attractive, mini site guide. For more examples:
