Hey @whizzbbig I created a very small demo for you.

To create this type of animation you'll need a loading animation and an entrance animation. So, when all the images are loaded or the loading animation finished you'll start the entrance animation.
And you don't need the setTimeout() 🙂

For the shape effect you shared, you can use:

@whizzbbig To use the MorphSVGPlugin you need a path element, or you can use the convertToPath() method 🙂
 

 

I feel so embarrass by asking silly questions the truth is that i am learning :c gsap by petr tichy and not completed with the basics but here in this project i tried to

@whizzbbig there is a HTML syntax error, that's why you don't see nothing.

Btw if you started learning recently this is very advance. My recommendation is to start with small animations and go forward step by step. The important thing is that you learn and understand what is going on and not only if the animation is the same as the final result. If you keep studying, in a short period of time you'll surely get to do these animations and better. 🙂


I created a pen for you with the example @akapowl provided:

Also, a little explanation of how I did it:
First you need to separate everything in different "layers": loading, mask and page to be able to control which one is ahead.

Then, we need to animate the loading transition in, and when all images are loaded we execute the entrance animation.
The entrance animation has the loader animation out, mask and page animation, so you can control easily the timings. 
A little about paths, a path contains lots of coordinates so that's why you'll see a lot of numbers, letters. Probably, at the beginning it won't be clear but if you go here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial/Paths you'll understand better how to create a path. So, in order to animate a path you need to animate those coordinates and this is when GSAP appears and save us lol because you can say to GSAP to go from one path to another one and that's where the magic happens.

I hope this helps, as I saw you motivated I wanted to explain a little bit more but keep in mind that there is more than one way to do it, the important thing here is that you learn and understand how it works. 🤘
