    copied!<p>I just did this exact same thing today. I came across this question this morning, so wanted to post a bit of help.</p> <p>Generated code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="view-Cylinder-Background" style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; right: 0px; -webkit-perspective-origin-x: 50%; -webkit-perspective-origin-y: 50%; -webkit-perspective: 500; "&gt; &lt;div style="width: 100%; height: 100%; -webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d; -webkit-transform: translateZ(1222.3099629457563px); "&gt; &lt;div style="-webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; width: 0px; -webkit-transition-property: -webkit-transform; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.5s; -webkit-transform: rotateY(-748.5000000000005deg); "&gt; &lt;div class="view-Cylinder-Item" style="position: absolute; left: -77px; -webkit-transform: rotateY(0deg) translateZ(1195.5154099609108px) translateY(0px); -webkit-transition-property: -webkit-transform; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.5s; "&gt; &lt;div style="-webkit-transform: rotateY(180deg); "&gt; &lt;div style="background-image: url(images/panarama.jpg); width: 153px; height: 1024px; background-position: 0px 0px; "&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="view-Cylinder-Item" style="position: absolute; left: -77px; -webkit-transform: rotateY(7.2deg) translateZ(1195.5154099609108px) translateY(0px); -webkit-transition-property: -webkit-transform; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.5s; "&gt; &lt;div style="-webkit-transform: rotateY(180deg); "&gt; &lt;div style="background-image: url(images/panarama.jpg); width: 153px; height: 1024px; background-position: 153.6px 0px; "&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="view-Cylinder-Item" style="position: absolute; left: -77px; -webkit-transform: rotateY(14.4deg) translateZ(1195.5154099609108px) translateY(0px); -webkit-transition-property: -webkit-transform; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.5s; "&gt; &lt;div style="-webkit-transform: rotateY(180deg); "&gt; &lt;div style="background-image: url(images/panarama.jpg); width: 153px; height: 1024px; background-position: 307.2px 0px; "&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>the outer divs are the cylinder itself. The 3 "view-Cylinder-Item" divs are faces on that cylinder. This particular example is split into 50 faces (cut for brevity sake), so each face is rotated by <code>7.2 degrees</code>. The <code>translateZ</code> of the faces is calculated by basic geometry (pythagoras: <code>sqrt( radius^2 - face_width^2 )</code>. Radius is calculated as <code>imageWidth / Pi / 2</code> and is used in the <code>translateZ</code> of the wrapping div (<code>1222... pixels</code>). Each face is also offset by <code>-50%</code> (<code>left: -77px</code>) to place it in the correct location.</p> <p>Hope this helps a bit, I know this is question is a few months old.</p>
