How do a make an image tilt forward on hover - html

I have been playing with transitions all morning and am at a road block. I have the need to have an image "tilt" forward when hovered over. Basically we have beer taps that when they hover over they want them to tilt as if they are being pulled down. I have played with a bunch of code but right now have nothing remotely close to post here. If anyone could give some help on how to accomplish this in css3 it would be greatly appreciated.

Below is a basic version (works in safari & chrome). You can play with the perspective values to change the effect.
I'm not sure where you were running into trouble, but the key points here are:
container to hold the rotated elements that will allow you to use perspective
perspective to change the overall look of the animation
transform-origin to set the rotation point of the image (using the bottom in the demo)
rotateX to rotate around the x axis - tilting the image toward/away from the viewer
html:
<div class="container">
<img src="http://placekitten.com/200/300" width="200" height="300"></img>
</div>
CSS:
.container {
-webkit-perspective: 1000px;
perspective: 1000px;
margin: 2em;
transform-style: preserve-3d;
}
img {
transition: all .5s ease;
-webkit-transform: rotateX(0deg);
-webkit-transform-origin-y: 300px; /* rotates from the bottom of the image */
}
img:hover {
-webkit-transform: rotateX(-40deg);
}
Demo jsFiddle

CSS Supports X and Y 3D rotations, but you cannot rotate on the Z axis (forwards and backwards) purely in CSS, maybe Javascript or jQuery would be able to do so.
For more on CSS rotation try reading up on it here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_3dtransforms.asp

I would play around with something like CAMANJS or just create a second background image that tilts your existing image and use that on the hover event.

Please explain to me how this CSS property removes the trailing lines from a transition

This is a bit of a long-winded question, but I hope someone can break this down for me. I have 2 questions:
Why a CSS property doesn't do what it should.
Why this particular CSS property works on an unsuspecting element, and why it doesn't work on the CSS :hover selector.
Created a flipcard animation. Got some graphics/trailing lines issues with transitions (in Chrome).
Doing some Googling, I found out that apparently, using -webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0); is supposed to fix the issue by using hardware acceleration.
However, I couldn't figure out where to place this CSS property. I tried placing it on the .flipcard-container, .flipcard, on the actual transition (.flipcard-container: hover .flipcard).
None of these removed the trailing lines caused by the animation.
Question 1: Where can I use the -webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0); properly in order to take advantage of the hardware acceleration, and why does/doesn't it work there?
But, after doing even more Googling and copying someone else's code, I found adding perspective: 600pxto the .flipcard-container somehow fixed the issue. And on top of that, it even makes my animation look really nice.
It shouldn't bother me so much, but it does that I cannot figure out why this worked.
According to the MDN docs:
The perspective CSS property determines the distance between the z=0
plane and the user in order to give a 3D-positioned element some
perspective.
Question 2: Why does this work in my transition so well? Shouldn't I have to place perspective in .flipcard-container: hover .flipcard instead of the .flip-container?
Of course, when placing it in the css :hover selector, the entire transition stops working. Does the perspective property also use hardware acceleration?
Here is the code, and thank you in advance.
.flipcard-container {
height: 400px;
width: 300px;
/* uncommenting the below property will fix the issue */
/* -webkit-perspective: 600; */
}
.flipcard-container:hover .flipcard {
transform: rotateY(180deg) scale(1.5);
}
.flipcard, .front, .back {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.flipcard {
transform-style: preserve-3d;
transition: all .8s ease-in-out;
}
.front {
background: #6093e5;
position: relative;
backface-visibility: hidden;
}
.back {
background: #e56060;
position: absolute;
backface-visibility: hidden;
top: 0;
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
<div class="flipcard-container">
<div class="flipcard">
<div class="front"></div>
<div class="back"></div>
</div>
</div>
Question 1
You are overriding the transform: tags with the hardware acceleration. This causes that the animation doesn't work if you put it in.
You can use this, to archive better (more stable fps)
.flipcard-container:hover .flipcard {
transform: rotateY(180deg) scale(1.5);
will-change: -webkit-transition;
will-change: transition;
}
it uses the new will-change property.
More details
The will-change CSS property provides a way for authors to hint
browsers about the kind of changes to be expected on an element, so
that the browser can setup appropriate optimizations ahead of time
before the element is actually changed. These kind of optimizations
can increase the responsiveness of a page by doing potentially
expensive work ahead of time before they are actually required.
Question 2
If you look at e.g. this:
https://codepen.io/jfcorugedo/pen/bBPWaO?q=3d+turn&limit=all&type=type-pens
you see that it also uses the perspective tag. It is used that you can see the rotation of the box (like in your case).
If you remove it, it looks like your code. It works only on the container because the object you want to flip is wrapped in it.
If you have more questions just ask :)

image blurs during CSS transition and is janky

Hi I'm learning to create some hover effects and managed to pull off what I had in mind with this animation: http://jsbin.com/xawibo/
The CSS that animates the image is this:
transform: scale(3, 3) translateY(50%);
But the animation is not smooth. The thumbnail becomes blurry during the transition, becoming crisp again only when the transition stops. There is also a slight left/right jerky movement.
Here is a quick Youtube video of what I see:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoIgV1ORbN8&feature=youtu.be
What am I doing that is affecting the perforamce of this animation? Am I nesting too many DIVs?
Seems like Chrome specific issue.
Instead of transform:scale() you can animate width:
.caption:hover > span img{
background: rgba(0, 158, 205, 0.45);
transform: translate(0,10%) ;
width:100%;
}
This happens on chrome on Windows apparently.
Seems very similar to the issue depicted here:
CSS transition effect makes image blurry / moves image 1px, in Chrome?
What happens when using -webkit-transform: [...] along with transform: [...] ?

How to fix blurry Image on transform scale

When i put transform: scale(1.1); on hover on some element the image became blurry. How to fix this bug?
Example
Try this, it's work fine for me!
img {
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
-ms-transform: translateZ(0); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: translateZ(0); /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
transform: translateZ(0);
}
TL;DR
transform: scale is actually scaling the original image, and because you are leaving it to the browser's render engine to figure out what should go there you got a blurry image. try
img {
transform: scale(.9)
}
img:hover {
transform: scale(1)
}
Aaron Sibler answered the question for me.
I just experienced this riddle. In your example, you’ll
need to transform img DOWN something like “transform: scale(0.7)” and
then scale UP to the images native dimensions on hover like
“transform: scale(1.0)”
The scale value is relative to the original image’s dimensions – not
their current dimensions on screen so a scale of 1 always equals the
original image’s dimensions.
I’ve used this here;
http://meetaaronsilber.com/experiments/css3imgpop/index.html
I had this problem with SVG scaling and blurry images. I scaled up a background image to 4.5 and the image rendered very blurry while scaling up.
I read that you can scale down first transform: scale(0.7) and then scale up to transform: scale(1.0). In my case this meant a huge rebuild of my animation. I had a very complex animation with multiple scales and transforms etc.
I just left all as is and added a pseudo scale width. The browser then seems to re-render every frame, but since the width does not actually change you still can use
transform: scale(x.x) for scaling and you get a very sharp image.
Maybe someone can confirm this. Here is my code. In my case the image was 86px wide and it zoomed up to 4.5 times the initial value.
<div class="overall-scale">
<div class="image-scale"></div>
</div>
#keyframes overall-scale {
0% {
transform: scale(1);
}
100% {
transform: scale(4.5);
}
}
#keyframes image-scale {
0% {
width: 86px;
}
100% {
width: 86px;
}
}
Hope this helps and my explanation makes sense.
Please comment if this does not work for you.
I' ve read all the comments, and tryied all solutions people suggested. But nothing was really good except rotate(360deg). Everything, except this one made stuttering on images, or they became too blurry initially. But rotating is looking strange if you don't hide it. So I decided to rotate for 0.0000001deg and it worked! Image is blurry only during the transition, but at the end and at the start of it it is sharp. May be I just had too small pictures.
So, my current solution is adding this part to CSS (and nothing else):
img {
transform: rotate(0.00000000001deg);
}

Clickable link area unexpectedly smaller after CSS transform

I have an unordered list with a few list items that act as flip cards using CSS 3D transforms. I want them to flip via clicks on links/anchor elements inside of the list items, and these links fill up the entire list item as well.
The list items look and act fine in their default non-flipped state, but once I click one and it flips, the clickable link area on the back side of it is only on the top half of the list item. When I inspect in Chrome, the link area is still filling up the entire height of the list item, so I'm not sure what is going on.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/chucknelson/B8aaR/
Below is a summary of the transform properties I'm using on various elements (see fiddle for detail):
-webkit-transition: 0.6s;
-webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;
-webkit-transform-origin: 100% 1.5em;
-webkit-transform: rotateX(180deg);
Note that I'm testing in Chrome 28 on Windows, and I'm just using -webkit prefix items in the fiddle. I also apologize for any messy CSS or markup, this problem had me iterating a bit. Any help in understanding what is happening is greatly appreciated!
Update 8/11/2013:
I was having this same problem with a 2D transforms on list items (just flipping the item, no front/back). Adding #thirtydot's translateZ(1px) transform in the CSS for the <a> tag fixed that one too. So it looks like the issue is related to the z-axis...but only on part of the link. Maybe this is a bug in browsers?
This problem may be the result of a webkit rendering bug, but the solution was to tranlsate the link's Z-axis by 1px - this seemed to push the link layer up and have it fully clickable.
To fix the 3D transform (via the fiddle from #thirtydot http://jsfiddle.net/thirtydot/YCGjZ/7/), some javascript was required:
setTimeout(function() {
flipTarget.find('div.back a').css('-webkit-transform', 'translateZ(1px)');
flipTarget.find('div.back a').css('transform', 'translateZ(1px)');
}, 600);
When using a 2D transform, adding translateZ in the CSS class worked:
.flipped {
border-top: 1px solid black;
background-color: #555;
-webkit-transform: rotateX(180deg);
}
.flipped a {
color: #eee;
text-decoration: line-through;
-webkit-transform: scaleY(-1) translateZ(1px); /* the fix */
}

CSS3 3D bend perspective

CSS3 3D transforms + animations are great. I'm wondering if there is a way to make something bend.
This example flips the (paper) div but the animation looks stiff because, in real, when you flip paper, it bends a bit.
So any properties I overlooked or maybe a combination that makes it look like it bends?
div {
width: 90%;
height: 700px;
position: fixed;
left: 5%;
top: 0;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.9);
-webkit-transform: perspective(1000);
-webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;
-webkit-transform-origin: top;
-webkit-animation: "page curl down" 1s ease-out forwards;
}
#-webkit-keyframes "page curl down" {
from {
-webkit-transform: rotate3D(1,0,0,180deg);
}
to {
-webkit-transform: rotate3D(0,0,1);
}
}
Example page curl with bending (image): http://numerosign.com/software/css3machine/#documentation
No. The best way is to use canvas then slide an image across, like this: http://www.20thingsilearned.com/. Here's a breakdown of how that works: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/casestudies/20things_pageflip.html
There are many limitations with that method, but it's the best I've seen.
Browser elements are currently limited to occupying a single flat plane. No matter what. I've wrestled with the idea of simulating curved <div>s for some time with no notable progress.
Using a transparent object with a border, border-radius and matrix3d can create "bends", but that's about as far as that goes. If you specify border-top only, with border-top-left-radius set, you can create a straight line with a curved end. Obviously, this is still part of a single flat plane, bending in the direction of its sibling 2-dimensional axis.
As soon as we begin thinking of bending your 2-dimensional element in the 3rd dimension it does not currently occupy, it literally becomes impossible without Canvas, WebGL, or other rendering engines.
