Making a rotating "barrel" like in Hearthstone

Hi,
I’m about to start making a rotation barrel like the opponent picker in Hearthstone ( https://youtu.be/QBq_MkP8ZFA?t=14s - ignore the sound :smiley: )

From my humble knowledge I’m gonna be doing this steps:

  1. Design it in 3D studio
  2. Import the video in Flash
  3. Make the field dynamic
  4. Fill the fields with JavaScript from a external .txt or .xml file.

Is this the right way?

And by the way, how is this rotating thing called on English language? How should I search the internet for it?

Thanks,
Gorast

The 3D Studio → Flash thing sounds okay… but how are you going to get the text to line up with the rotation of the carousel? (It’s been years since I’ve used 3DS Max, so forgive me if that part is obvious.)

Papervision carousel?
