/* ==========================================================================
   VE Agency Site — hero-carousel.css
   Section 01: hero layout (Elementor containers) + 3D video carousel
   (HTML widget). Everything is scoped to .ve-hero / .ve-hero-carousel.

   Spacing and layout for these containers come from this file, so leave the
   Elementor padding / gap controls on the hero containers at their defaults.

   Responsive tuning of the carousel lives in the custom properties on
   .ve-hero-carousel (card width, spread, depth, angle, visible cards).
   hero-carousel.js reads them, so changing them here is enough.
