While browsing the latest award-winning websites, you may notice a lot of fancy image distortion animations or neat 3D effects. Most of them are created with WebGL, an API allowing GPU-accelerated image processing effects and animations. They also tend to use libraries built on top of WebGL such as three.js or pixi.js....
Today we’d like to share a little hover effect library with you. The effect goes as follows: when hovering an image, we’ll use a displacement image to transition to another image. Using different displacement images, we can create a variety of looks. The main idea behind this little library is to recreate a...
This set of demos explores 3D particle animations using three.js and easing. All of the particles and shapes in these demos are made from basic geometry/material/mesh sets in three.js, such as spheres, lines, and boxes.The Concept Making animations with a lot of small moving parts is a lot of fun. Applying different...
Today we are going to explore some original and experimental backgrounds generated using WebGL. The main idea is to show interesting animated shapes as decorative page backgrounds, some having subtle interactivity. All the demos are made with the Three.js WebGL library to create the various shapes, and the animati...
Today we’d like to share an interesting distortion effect with you. The main concept of this demo is to use a displacement map in order to distort an underlying image, giving it different types of effects. To demonstrate the liquid-like transitions between images, we’ve created a slideshow.What a displace...
Two years ago, I decided to start a series of short WebGL experiments on Codepen. Earlier this year, I finally found the time to compile them all together on a single website named “Moments of Happiness”. Since its in...
Before becoming a web developer, I worked in the visual effects industry, creating award-winning, high-end 3D effects for movies and TV Shows such as Tron, The Thing, Resident Evil, and Vikings. To be able to create these effects, we would need to use highly sophisticated animation software such as Maya, 3Ds Max or Hou...
React VR is a JavaScript library by Facebook that reduces the effort of creating a WebVR application. You may compare React VR with A-Frame by Mozilla, but instead of writing HTML, with React VR we’re using JavaScript to create a WebVR scene. React VR is built on the WebGL library three.js and the React Native framew...
Since WebGL is getting more and more popular, we start to see a bunch of websites using it for amazing creative designs. The brand Fornasetti recently published their website using the power of WebGL for a very nice effect: an animation that let’s us seemingly travel through a tunnel with a changing pattern. The ...
Today we want to show you some shader art made with WebGL. The idea is to create a decorative background effect by twisting images and hexagonal grid patterns smoothly on page scroll. The effect aims to be as light as possible on desktops or mobile devices. (Click the image to view the demo)Attention: You’ll...
