CSS3 Transformations Primer Tutorial

Here is a tutorial that introduces you to the idea that you can use CSS (CSS3) to perform image transformation tasks, building on the ideas of the previous CSS3 Image Animation Primer Tutorial as shown below. One such idea is to use CSS3 @keyframes Rules (as for the 12/1/2014’s CSS3 @keyframes Rule Primer Tutorial shown way below) on web browsers (for Internet Explorer you would need Internet Explorer 10 or above). On 13/1/2014 we showed a smoother animation result using the “from” and “to” syntax with the CSS3 Animation Primer Tutorial. On 14/1/2014 we showed that smoother animation technique applied to images, and we added some sound, but this is done with HTML embed tag (ohhhh wellll). Here today, we use Javascript to move between the CSS3 transformation ideas, but the workings are CSS.

So the transformation words of interest are “rotate”, “scale”, “translate”, “skew” and “matrix”.

As mentioned in the tutorial WordPress CSS Change helped by Firebug Primer Tutorial CSS works with static scenarios where you can define everything ahead of time, with no new dynamic resources, but the effect of animation can make it seem that dynamic things are going on, and can add great interest to your websites.

In addition to the links of the 14/1/2014, 13/1/2014 and 12/1/2014, the tutorials and resources here were very useful (thanks):

You could try your animations right in front (the distance being inversely proportional to your regard for your regal beasting) of your cat (no cat … try origami … but the results are unpredictable).
