Hi all.

 

I'm trying to create different entrances/exits effects for images. 

 

For example.

I would like an image to appear on the screen assembled from small grains. An image would need to be split into individual pixels (or small group of pixels), and they would gradually fade in one by one. 

 

Or. 

 

I would like an image to enter the screen assembled from a mash of small parallelograms. An image would be split into smaller shapes, and they would zoom in over time. 

 

Are there any examples out there I could reuse or look at for reference. 

Any pointers or suggestions are welcome.

Thank you, Jonathan.

 

I was able to recreate something close to what I need for the grain fade in animation. But It has some serious performance issues when I create a canvas for every pixel (or 5) out of the image. Which is what I would need to achieve the desired effect. 

 

See the Pen GjJXQV by anon (@anon) on CodePen

 

You can see the performance issue by dropping grainDensity in the options object to 5 or 10.

 

Any other option?

You don't need to create a canvas for every shape. Look at this video example. Click to blow it up.

So here's a better way to do what you were doing, although it could be optimized a little better. Note: Don't lower the size too much or you will crash CodePen!!!

For something smaller than that, you can use pixel data. Check out this post. Note that some of those demos use Three.js.

Pixi.js is also a nice renderer. It's like a 2d version of Three.js. Check out some of their filters here...

Here's my take on this:

 

See the Pen yaYQyQ by dipscom (@dipscom) on CodePen

 

Vanilla JS and SVG - does not crash the browser when you lower the size of the squares but is gets real janky when you have anything smaller than 5. At size 1 it will make your CPU sing and your motherboard sweat. I didn't try anything smaller than 1. I wouldn't recommend and won't answer if processors melt trying to play this.

 

At size 10 is buttery smooth on my machine and plays fine at 5.

 

Other than that, unless you start using something like Pixi or ThreeJS (as recommended by Blake) you will have to find a way to tap into the GPU directly, there's no way a browser will handle per pixel manipulation on its own.

 

You could cheat. Create a small series of granulated images where each pixel goes from black to white (or vice-versa) at a random duration and add/multiply those images one on top of the other using the resulting composite as a mask. That way, the browser will be only doing one large calculation, rather than hundreds of small ones.

Well alright then. Lets party!

 

You got a pretty cool reordering effect going on the there. Can it be multicolored?

 

And I just saw some nice image transitions on your CodePen page.

There's actually a really fast way to do pixel manipulation without WebGL. Most pixel manipulation is 8-bit. This requires you to write 3 values (RGB) to the image data array for every pixel. But you can do 32bit pixel manipulation using Typed Arrays, reducing the number of writes per pixel down to 1, making it faster by a factor of 3.

 

However, understanding how to use a Typed Array can be confusing. It also helps if you know how to use bitwise operators. Another weird thing is the RGB values are backwards, and the hex code has 8 characters instead of 6 because it has an alpha value. So you're most likely used to seeing hex colors like this, #RRGGBB, but for 32-bit it's AABBGGRR.

 

Look at how fast you can tint this image a more appropriate yellow color. If you're were doing 8-bit manipulation, it probably lock the browser up every now and then if you were to rapidly change the slider. It almost looks like you're moving another element over it because it's so fast.

All right, last one. This one uses flood filling. What's flood filling? A paint bucket tool. Understanding how it works can best be explained through zombies and cats.

Get it? Got it? Good!

 

A flood fill is typically pretty fast, but if we slow it down and apply it to random parts of an image, it creates a really cool burn/dissolve effect, revealing an image underneath it!

Back from my adventures in Italy.

 

Firstly, @jonathan, did I just missed you here?

 

 

 

Now onto the continuous hijack of another innocent post...

 

@OSUblake:

 

You know we can have it with all sorts of effects in SVG, just like in canvas. I won't go and make a slider because I'm lazy.

 

See the Pen bwBbAk?editors=1010 by dipscom (@dipscom) on CodePen

 

You also know as well as I do that for a ton of things, canvas is way better tool than SVG. I wish I could keep up with your arms race but I can't. I wave the white flag here and now. 

 

Great links, btw, there's a load of stuff there I want to absorb. It will take time.

 

;)

And here's a lesser known fact that most people don't realize. Canvas is just a bitmap, so you can use it as the as the source image for SVG filters! Here's the first example I came across doing a search on CodePen.
