Background reveal with svg blob

Punchify Me test

Recommended Posts

I am trying to achieve an effect similar to the background reveal with mouse movement as seen here : https://www.luckyfolks.fr/

I am not really sure how and where to start. The svg code for the blob is:

I would highly appreciate any tips and help on this. Thank you.

Looks like you could use MorphSVG (especially since you're "Shockingly Green"  ) to morph between two or more blobby shapes, and then wire up some mouse-following logic. It's not really something I can build for you, but the effect is totally doable.

 

Happy tweening!

Also, I wrote this article on getting values from mouse movement and plugging them into animation

 

Love your animations!

 

Here's another way to get mouse coordinates inside an svg.

That technique will work with any element inside an svg.

Ok, so the main issue here is that things get pretty tricksy when you're dealing with SVG vs HTML coordinate systems.

You're currently using Blake's demo for getting mouse co-ords within an SVG to move the clip path around in the SVG, but also using that clipPath to clip an HTML element in your CSS. This is why the clip path isn't clipping where you expect it to.

Now, I'm not saying this is impossible - and someone better at maths than me may have an answer for you. but. I have some easier solutions for you.

1) Keep it all in the SVG. Mask an image within the svg with a clipPath and set the SVG position absolute in the background. Blake's demo works perfectly for this.

pros - you can do morphing on the path because it's in the DOM
cons - it just masks the background not the content

2) Read this article I posted. 
This is specifically about masking content (with masks, not clip path) as there are shared CSS properties you can use for positioning with masks.

pros - nice way to deal with content masking as well
cons - I don't think this technique will allow you to morph that shape - I'd have to tinker about, I might have a play around later and see if there's a way to reference an SVG mask that's in the DOM rather than use a data URI.

Hi @Cassie

 

Many thanks, I tried with the mask-image property, which is my preferred solution as I have to show content and I don't necessarily need to morph the shape. I have tried the mask-image approach in your article, modified to take into consideration the technical constraints. 

 

However I still have a lag between the mouse position and the mask, and I am unable to cover the edges (top and bottom) of the section with the mask. I am sure it has to do with my calculations, but I cannot seem to get it right. 

 

here is a new pen :

It's not to do with calculations, this is just a markup issue. It's not masking the top section because the top section is outside of the div that has the mask applied to it.

The 'lag' is because you're using a gsap.to tween with a default duration of 0.5, so the tween is being eased into place, you can use gsap.setinstead if you need it to feel more immediate - or even gsap.quickSetter() for a more performant solution.

Good job getting it working!

That bottom section isn't in the codepen I attached. I just kept the top section in as an example.

The example I shared is showing a solution, it isn't 'the final' solution. You'll still need to tweak bits and extrapolate what you need!

Just trying to figure stuff out for future reference. Does anyone know how to export an SVG so that the shape is centered at 0,0? Meaning most of the coordinates will be negative because they lie outside the svg. This would make it really easer to center stuff, like to the mouse cursor, especially if morphing will be involved as the dimensions of the shape might change.

You mean like this?

 

See the Pen 3c5e4d178aee95a05efa8f3e4478e4c9 by akapowl (@akapowl) on CodePen

 

That's made with Inkscape.

 

Document and viewBox are set to width and height of the blue 'canvas' element, then I positioned the grey rectangle by snapping the center-points of its path's segments to the path of the blue 'canvas' element and then I used Inkscape's 'align and distribute' dialogue to center the blob up in the grey rectangle. Saved as .svg and as always with Inkscape threw the .svg file into SVG-OMG.

centering with align and then dragging it up into the corner until the intersect marks it as center.

 

Right, but the view box changes and the coordinates aren't negative. At least that's how it is when I export. 🤷‍♂️

In this case you can't export and get the correct viewBox from AI. You'll get some funky coordinates for a box that encloses all the shapes. You need to Save As SVG.
