Highlights

Pure CSS 3D Stereoscopic Transform Animation

  • CSS 3D transforms for stereoscopic spatial effects
  • Perspective property controls 3D viewpoint and depth
  • transform-style: preserve-3d maintains 3D transformations
  • Complex mathematical calculations for precise spatial positioning

Deep dive

Technical Implementation

This 3D effect uses CSS 3D transform technology, setting the viewing angle with perspective property and creating stereoscopic space using transform3d, rotateX, rotateY and other properties. Core technologies include:

  • 3D Space Construction: transform-style: preserve-3d maintains child elements' 3D transformations
  • Viewpoint Control: perspective property defines distance between observer and z=0 plane
  • Spatial Transformation: Combining translateZ, rotateX/Y/Z for complex 3D motion
  • Performance Optimization: Utilizing GPU hardware acceleration for 3D calculations

Reuse steps

  1. 1Set up 3D container: Define perspective and transform-style properties
  2. 2Create 3D elements: Add 3D transform properties to child elements
  3. 3Calculate spatial coordinates: Determine each element's position in 3D space
  4. 4Add animation effects: Use keyframes to define 3D motion trajectories
  5. 5Optimize rendering performance: Enable hardware acceleration and proper transform order

Performance notes

3D transforms consume significant GPU resources, recommend simplifying effects on mobile devices; use will-change property for browser optimization hints; avoid frequent 3D transform calculations
