Your css/interactions.css file has a number of differences from the one used in the video:

  • yours defines ".photocube" instead of ".photo-cube" (with a hyphen)
  • the definition for ".cube-container" does not have a value for the "perspective" property
  • the combined sides definition is missing a couple of properties
  • the individual definitions for each side are missing

Ignore my previous comment. I found the error which was my fault.

There was a typo within the css/interation.css folder line 25... I forgot to add the full property of transform-style: preserve-3d.

Once I corrected this I achieved the desired 3D effects :D #winning

Un-marking as best answer, since it only resolves Nnanna Okoli’s piggybacked question and not the OP.

Hi there,

Could you help with my TH Workspace please, I tried to imitate the code shown on the tutorial and included the update coded due to the rendering changes on browser screens but unfortunately, I still was not able to achieve the 3D desired effects...

Good job resolving your own issue! :+1:

For future issues, it's better to start a fresh question than ask one as an "answer" to someone else's.
