Chop Slider 3 is the world's most powerful animated jQuery/Wordpress image slider with exclusive and magnificent effects and stunning features. It is not just a fixed or improved version of Chop Slider 2. It is absolutely new plugin which was developed completely from scratch based on the experience of previous versions and in accordance with modern technology trends, requirements and the growing support of HTML5.
As a result, we have combined all the best of what we know in a one single product, which combines all the best that was in the Chop Slider 2, flavored with new and amazing effects, exclusive Canvas effects, and now it works much faster and much better.
And we do not forget about huge growth of mobile web and applications so we've made Chop Slider 3 fully responsive and create awesome plugin Chop Slider Touch - a special plugin which adds native touch behavior and special amazing "touch effects". Read more about Chop Slider Touch below.
x3 - Three Times Better

As said above Chop Slider 3 is absolutely new plugin with new "modular" structure. Its core is highly optimized and works much more faster than Chop Slider 2. All effects are also rewritten from scratch, so all CS3 effects are new, more "usable", fast and much more impressive.
Amazing CSS3 Animation

Flexible Effects Degradation

The point is that you can specify different effects from different groups at the same time - some from 2D, few from 3D, etc., and Chop Slider 3 will disable unsupported effects automatically.
