Cool, very nicely done.

Would it be possible to add a different set of parameters that describe the physical book instead? What I mean is specifying the page size in some standard way (e.g. A3 or letter size) and the number of pages and let the algorithm decide the parameters of book thickness (in pixels) automatically.

Very good idea, adding it to my to do list :)

For some reason the Width parameter is working weirdly in Firefox on Android. Dragging the slider halfway resizes the book to become larger than the whole screen. Screenshot: https://9gag.com/gag/aLwvLY6 (because I don't have accounts elsewhere)

Same for Firefox on desktop. The book gets too wide to fit in its row, and moves down. This causes the controls to change their size as well, which then starts breaking things.

Yes I handle big widths wrongly, I’ll fix that soon! Thanks for the bug report :)

That is quite impressive. Setting the perspective to 0 made the cover look like it was a front on shot but I could still see the side of the book which looks strange to me. Still nice though.

edit: please take this as a helpful suggestion and not a criticism. I still really like the work you've done.
