📋 Summary
Add an optional smooth momentum effect specifically for scrolling or rotating 3D box models, so box rotation eases out naturally instead of stopping abruptly.
❗ Problem
When rotating 3D box models, the motion can feel too rigid:
Rotation stops instantly when input stops
Fast scrolling can feel jerky and less natural
Flipping between front and back covers feels less satisfying than it could
This is most noticeable when users browse 3D boxes frequently in Big Box themes.
💡 Proposal
Introduce a “Smooth Rotation Momentum” option for 3D boxes:
Rotation continues briefly after input, then gradually slows to a stop
Applies only to 3D box rotation, not general list scrolling
Works for mouse wheel, drag, and controller input where supported
Optional strength setting (Low, Medium, High)
📦 Benefits
Makes 3D box rotation feel smoother and more realistic
Improves the feel of browsing 3D boxes in Big Box
Reduces harsh starts and stops during rotation
Adds polish without changing existing behavior by default
💡 Notes
Should be optional, with current rotation behavior as default
Momentum should not make front/back viewing less precise
Consider respecting “Reduce Motion” style preferences
