Get 3D Rotating User Pic in Windows Vista Start Menu



http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/vishaal_here/Windows-1.png

In the old longhorn 4xxx days, the startmenu user picture was more animated as it was today. Today, we get a cheap alpha-fading effect when you hover over an item: the user picture simply blends with the icon for a while.

Back in the days, the user picture was actually rotating when you had the start menu opened. Andreas Verhoeven's "3D User Picture" tries to achieve that effect.
