Hi everyone, I am working on a project where I want to create a blob effect using GSAP. I have animated two blob SVGs using GSAP as you can see in codepen attached below, but I am still learning, and I don’t know how to do everything. I have tried everything, mask-image, -webkit-mask-image but I'm not getting the result that I want. My goal is to mask an image into the blobs, like in the image I have attached. Can anyone please help me with this? How can I use GSAP to mask an image into the blobs? Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.

I try implement this code on Vanilla JS but something doesn't work out, although this is the same code, for example in the example from codepen which I attached in url this displayed all rows smoothly and my side this displayed only first row smoothly and other rows this like static rows . I'm using shadow DOM. On my side just differ javascript code for example, I using an object instead of a string. Thank you in advance! tl.fromTo(menuIcon, { rotation: 0 }, { rotation: 180 }, 0) <header> <h1>GSAP Rocks!</h1> <div class="menu-icon"></div> <ul class="menu"> <li class="menu-item">Home</li> <li class="menu-item">About</li> <li class="menu-item">Contact</li> <li class="menu-item">Rock on GSAP</li> </ul> </header> import { gsap } from "gsap"; export class Header extends HTMLElement { constructor() { super(); this.attachShadow({ mode: "open" }); fetch("../CORE/Header/header.html"). then(response => response.text()).then(content => { this.shadowRoot.innerHTML = content; this.createMenu(this.shadowRoot); }); } createMenu(shadowRoot) { const menuIcon = shadowRoot.querySelector(".menu-icon"); const menu = shadowRoot.querySelector(".menu"); const menuItem = shadowRoot.querySelector(".menu-item"); const menuUp = "polygon(0% 0%, 100% 0%, 100% 0%, 0% 0%)"; const menuDown = "polygon(0% 0%, 100% 0%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%)"; let menuOpen = false; const tl = gsap.timeline({ paused: true, defaults: { duration: 0.3, ease: "power1.inOut" } }); tl.fromTo(menuIcon, { rotation: 0 }, { rotation: 180 }, 0) .fromTo( menu, { clipPath: menuUp, visibility: "hidden" }, { clipPath: menuDown, visibility: "visible" }, 0 ) .fromTo( menuItem, { opacity: 0, y: "0.5em", stagger: 0.1 }, { opacity: 1, y: "0em", stagger: 0.1 } ); menuIcon.addEventListener("click", () => { if (!menuOpen) { tl.play(); menuOpen = true; } else { tl.reverse(); menuOpen = false; } }); } }

Hi there, I am a newbie web-developer student. Recently I have started exploring the powers of GSAP !! I would really appreciate if somebody could let me know how I can make this as a Mouse Hover effect? I have searched literally everywhere, but didn't get what I was looking for. Thanks in advance!!

Hi there! I have a question to TimelineMax for loop. I made three images to fade-in. But The last image disappears and the loop begins again. I want to connect the fade-in fade-out naturally. Any help or guidance is welcome. Thanks 🙇🏻‍♂️ This is my demo code. https://jsfiddle.net/rwahefnz/

I wanted that after the page is loaded the entire content of the page appeared, but when i added spawning animations on the ".hamburger" the rotation animation does not work then, but but as I remove reappearance animations it all works. How do i have rotation and appearance animations? I don't understand why keyframes don't work the line of code that causes the element to appear, when it is deleted, rotation will work .from('.hamburger', 0.3, {x:-100,})

I've reached my witts end here, I have been trying to solve this issue for the past hour or so but with no avail. I created an animation with GSAP that creates an illusion that you are zooming into a planet, then the planet will disappear and a random image of a lake with large rocks will appear and two text boxes appear, one of them with a button. Once you click on the button, the image of the lake and the two text boxes will disappear and another image of the night sky will take its place. Everything works well up to this point, however, when I resize the viewport, the image of the night sky disappears and the image of the large rocks appears again when it shouldn't. I've included the CODEPEN for this but I can't recreate the bug/error. gsap.timeline({ scrollTrigger: { trigger: ".earth_container", start: "-20% 0%", markers: false } }) .to(".earth_planet", { width: "+=2500", height:"+=2500", duration: 3 }) .set(".earth_container", { backgroundImage: "url('https://i.postimg.cc/Dy9ryPpB/earth-forest.jpg')", backgroundSize: "cover" }) .to(".earth_planet", { opacity: 0 }) .from(".text_info_box_earth_one", { opacity: 0 }) .from(".text_info_box_earth_two", { opacity: 0 }); the timeline above executes automatically and the code below is only executed when the user clicks on the button "Night Time". As i stated before, everything works fine to this point, but once i resize the window AFTER i click on the "Night Time" button, however, the backgroundImage of the ".earth_container" reverts back to the image of the lake, when it shouldn't... why do you think this is happening? function change_to_night_earth() { let newHTML = "The night sky is just as beautiful " + "as the the day time sky. Millions of stars in every " + "corner of the sky. There may be less light, but there isn't " + "less beauty at this time of the planet"; let new_HTML = "Click the button below if you want to return to " + "the day time of earth..." + "<br><br>" + "<button type='button' class='btn'> Day Time </button>"; gsap.timeline() .to(".text_info_box_earth_one", { opacity: 0 }) .to(".text_info_box_earth_two", { opacity: 0 }) .to(".earth_container", { opacity: 0 }) .set(".text_info_box_earth_one", { innerHTML: newHTML, attr: {class: "text_containers_white text_info_box_earth_one transitioning_fast"} }) .set(".text_info_box_earth_two", { innerHTML: new_HTML, attr: {class: "text_containers_white text_info_box_earth_two transitioning_fast"} }) //-----this is propbably where the error happens---------------------------------------------- .set(".earth_container", { backgroundImage: "url('https://i.postimg.cc/x8km9XKw/earth-night.jpg')", }) //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .to(".earth_container", { opacity: 1 }) .to(".text_info_box_earth_one", { opacity: 1 }) .to(".text_info_box_earth_two", { opacity: 1 }) }

Hello - I have a code for a custom cursor, and the cursor, which is a ball/circle, was supposed to grow/scale when hovering over a link, if you see the code below, this function is there, but it is not working, does anyone know what's wrong? Thank you in advance. The code is from codepen. I am using the following code, everything is working, except the hover thing I mentioned. div class="cursor"> <div class="cursor__ball cursor__ball--big "> <svg height="30" width="30"> <circle cx="15" cy="15" r="12" stroke-width="0"></circle> </svg> </div> <div class="cursor__ball cursor__ball--small"> <svg height="10" width="10"> <circle cx="5" cy="5" r="4" stroke-width="0"></circle> </svg> </div> </div> <style> body .cursor { pointer-events: none; } body .cursor__ball { position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; mix-blend-mode: difference; z-index: 1000; } body .cursor__ball circle { fill: #f7f8fa; } </style> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/1.20.3/TweenMax.min.js"></script> <script> const $bigBall = document.querySelector('.cursor__ball--big'); const $smallBall = document.querySelector('.cursor__ball--small'); const $hoverables = document.querySelectorAll('a'); // Listeners document.body.addEventListener('mousemove', onMouseMove); for (let i = 0; i < $hoverables.length; i++) { if (window.CP.shouldStopExecution(0)) break; $hoverables[i].addEventListener('mouseenter', onMouseHover); $hoverables[i].addEventListener('mouseleave', onMouseHoverOut); } // Move the cursor window.CP.exitedLoop(0); function onMouseMove(e) { TweenMax.to($bigBall, .4, { x: e.clientX - 15, y: e.clientY - 15 }); TweenMax.to($smallBall, .1, { x: e.clientX - 5, y: e.clientY - 7 }); } // Hover an element function onMouseHover() { TweenMax.to($bigBall, .3, { scale: 4 }); } function onMouseHoverOut() { TweenMax.to($bigBall, .3, { scale: 1 }); } </script>

Hello, i am sorry maybe i ask some basic questions but i try to drow like this svg from center>> i know they a draw svg plugin in gsap , but can i use css only ,?? then i need it to svg cuz it's easy to draw , then i want to make height dynamic right? thanks

I am using gsap scrolltrigger to toggle a class that makes the container sticky. After the end of the animation when the class is removed it behaves weirdly. Here is the video link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/12WOmmK43dFBxvVLKuDPoAGnOAT4-b76L/view?usp=sharing As you can see in the video after the end of animation it moves it..... Is there any fix to this ? Javascript code : const canvas = document.getElementById('hero-lightpass'); const context = canvas.getContext('2d'); const frameCount = 45; const currentFrame = index => `./assets/medium_${(index + 1).toString().padStart(4, '0')}.jpg`; canvas.width = 600; const images = []; const airpods = { frame: 0, }; for (let i = 0; i < frameCount; i++) { const img = new Image(); img.src = currentFrame(i); images.push(img); } console.log(canvas.width); gsap.to(airpods, { frame: frameCount - 1, snap: 'frame', scrollTrigger: { trigger: '.sticky-wrapper', scrub: 0.5, markers: true, start: 'top 48px', end: 'center 49px', toggleClass: 'sticky', }, onUpdate: render, }); images[0].onload = render; const getheight = () => {}; function render() { console.log(images[0].naturalHeight); const h = images[0].naturalHeight; const w = images[0].naturalWidth; const aspect = h / w; console.log(aspect); canvas.height = aspect * canvas.width; context.drawImage(images[airpods.frame], 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height); }

What I'm trying to do? I've got 2 images on top of each other I want to alpha-in (opacity) via the blend-mix-mode layer with ScrollTrigger. position: relative; height: 100vh; width: 100vw; overflow-y: scroll; } img { min-width: 100vw; max-width: 100vw; height: 200vh; position: absolute; object-fit: cover; &#imageOne{ overflow-y: scroll; } &#imageTwo { overflow-y: scroll; mix-blend-mode: multiply; } } I'm having trouble just getting the images to animate with a scroll bar. I'm using big images about 5000px in size becuase I want them to be in a container with a scroll bar that I can use as the 'Scroller' for the Opacity for the image with blend modes on. What I've come up with: So far not really much luck. Here is a running view of what I've got so far. https://react-pvbx1r.stackblitz.io/ I have the project here you can see the code at the bottom is the images and the styling is in BackgroundStyle. I feel I have got the right Idea with GSAP in using useEffect to set options after the DOM has been rendered and using useRef for referencing Nodes to give to GSAP. But I don't think my problem is with React. I just cant seem to get the scroll and the animation to work. Here is the Editor link https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-pvbx1r?file=src/components/landing.js Thanks P.S I'm learning a bunch of frameworks at the moemnt so there is a chance im using quite a lot of this stuff wrong, if you spot any bits that aren't written well I would be very gratefull if you highlighted them! All the best

Does anyone knows how to make a website like this?? - https://www.erikasenftmiller.com/ What plugins should I use? and if you have codepen link please share it with me Thanks

Hi, Extremely new to GSAP etc, and I only found myself here by accident after weeks of trying to find something JS that would speak to pseudo elements. So hooray!! My problem is I can't seem to figure out how to get my function to repeat and I'm not sure if I've quite nailed the conversion. I've converted from a keyframes animation and it seems to be working okay, however it only does it once and then stops. I've looked through a variety of the instructions and forum questions on here to get to where I have, but each one doesn't seem to quite gel to my situation. So basically my keyframes were: @keyframes hello { 0% { top: 100%; } 33%, 100% { top: -50%; } } And my selector: .world::before { animation: hello 3s 0.4s ease-in-out infinite; } So all simple stuff. To convert this, I have this GSAP so far: gsap.registerPlugin(CSSRulePlugin); var rule = CSSRulePlugin.getRule(".world::before"); gsap.to(rule, 0.3, { cssRule: { top: "100%" }, ease: Power4.easeInOut }); gsap.to(rule, 0.7, { cssRule: { top: "-50%" }, ease: Power4.easeInOut }); So everything's talking to each other, but I can't get the GSAP function/rule to do the "infinite" part of the original animation. And again I'm not sure if I've nailed the timings based on the percentages in the keyframes. And of course the 0.4s delay, I'm not sure where to put that either. I've created a code pen with the usual bits to try and illustrate, if that helps at all. Thank you very very much for any help!

Hello.. So I have Post 1 which have a full/wide width images. I want to apply the opacity for the social share icon on the sidebar to be "0" when it hits on the images and when hitting the end of the article it is going to remain opacity=0, Therefore I have 3 css class for the 3 triggers .alignwide .alignfull .sidebar-social-wrap And here is my code. please take a look at the attached images. The code works well on the Post 1 which has a full/wide width images in the post. contain the class .alignwide and .alignfull in the page. But the Post 2 do not have any images. so therefore there is no css class '.alignwide' or .'alignfull'. It seems to make the opacity set to 0 when the post is loaded. May I know how to do it properly? Thanks. Post 1 https://bit.ly/3sbM4V1 Post 2 https://bit.ly/3bvU7GM Sorry I dont know how to use codePen So I guess I will just paste my code here. gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger); gsap.to(".sidebar-social-wrap", { duration: .1, opacity:0, scrollTrigger: { trigger: ".alignwide", start: "top 650px", end: "bottom 150px", toggleActions: "play reverse play reverse", } }); gsap.to(".sidebar-social-wrap", { duration: .1, opacity:0, scrollTrigger: { trigger: ".alignfull", start: "top 650px", end: "bottom 150px", toggleActions: "play reverse play reverse", } }); gsap.to(".sidebar-social-wrap", { duration: .1, opacity:0, scrollTrigger: { trigger: ".content-end-row", start: "top 650px", end: "bottom 550px", toggleActions: "play reverse play reverse", scrub: true } });

Hi there guys, I am very confused. I have a design with lots of lines(roads) which are connected to sections through out the page like on the image on this image given below. Am i able to add those like exactly on the picture with help of gsap and animate the truck on them while scrolling ?

I have a circle which is supposed to be transformed in the direction of the cursor all time. node.addEventListener("mousemove", e => { const {x, y, width, height} = blob.current.getBoundingClientRect(); gsap.timeline() .to(blob.current, { duration: 10, x: e.clientX - (x + width / 2), y: e.clientY - (y + height / 2), force3D: true, overwrite: "auto", ease: Linear.easeNone }, 0) }) This is fine, but includes unwanted behavior: when being further away from the circle and rapidly changing direction and distance from the circle, there obviously will be a change in speed since the distance for the circle to travel in this 10 seconds gets shorter/longer. How can I ensure the same travel speed all the time, no matter where the cursor is?

Hi - I'm not sure why but I can't get a simple color tween working, and I can't seem to find anything in the documentation that explains it. I've created a codepen here with what I feel should be the proper implementation. https://codepen.io/heaversm/pen/poyXmXg

So I have a simple GSAP timeline to move an element with the direction of the mouse' event: node.addEventListener("mousemove", e => { const x = e.clientX / 10; const y = e.clientY / 10; gsap.timeline() .to(blurRef.current, { yPercent: -30, x, y, duration: 1 }, 0) }) It works fine, but I want to add an infinite bounce effect which happens simultaneous to the mouse animation. I've done the bounce effect only before with pure css, but this makes GSAP stop working (mouse effect won't work). Is there a way to handle both simultaneously? Is there an equivalent for the CSS with GSAP? .blur { animation: bounce 2s infinite ease-in-out; } @keyframes bounce { 0% { transform: translateY(-10px) } 50% { transform: translateY(15px) } 100% { transform: translateY(-10px) } }

Hi all. After some digging I found that CSS grid elements cannot have animation when they are moved around within the grid, so I was wondering if there could be a JS solution to this. I posted this on Reddit first and someone directed me here. Basically what I want is, on a class change on the parent that has display: grid, the child elements will change position using grid-column-start and grid-row-start. I figured out this part, but not quite sure how to animate that change in position. What could be a JS way to achieve this since this is most likely not possible with CSS? Please correct me if I am wrong. My implementation minus the animation: https://codepen.io/sadmansh/full/VweEZqL The dots will move when you click the button up top.

How can I animate height from 0 to auto using the Tweenmax Timeline? I do a lot of research and see some solutions with CSS. But I have already something dynamic with Gsap where I need to animate height from 0px to auto on clicking the item. I didn't find any solution to gsap documentation and any example where I can achieve it. Here is my code to animate on GSAP. import { TimelineMax, Power4, Expo, TweenMax } from 'gsap/all'; const loginSection = document.querySelector('.login-form'); const loginForm = document.querySelector('.login-form form'); const tl = new TimelineMax({ paused: true }) TweenMax.set(loginSection, { height: 0 }) tl.addLabel('start') .set(loginForm, { opacity: 0, x: 50 }) .to(loginSection, 0.7, { height: 'auto', ease: Power4.easeOut }, 'start') .to(loginForm, 0.7, { opacity: 1, x: 0, ease: Power4.easeOut }, 'start+=0.4') when I click on the element rather than it expanding it renders immediately without any animation. But when I use px instead of auto it's working. But it's not my goal. Your suggestion or solution appreciated.

hi guys, i want to achieve https://dexternavy.com like hover effect. i have tried it using this cdn 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/1.18.0/TweenLite.min.js' but it not work as i thought and i am stuck here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I creating a website and i using TweenMax. I've created line animation like this; Its connected with scroll. Animation is like that; First left long line going down then bottom line goes to right then right line starts from bottom to top finally top line start from right and goes to left and animation is ends. At the end we had this image. But there is something it will drive me crazy. At the start of animation lines goes normal (fast). But when its ending its very slow down like smoothing. Example at the start of animation i scrolling 1 click, lines with changes between 0 - 30px but the end of animation i scroll 1 click again and lins with changing between 0 - 10px. Why it like that? I want line is always change same pixel when i scroll same long. In other words i want to close this smoothing.

Hello Guys, I've been looking around the internet and this forum for some time and I could not find a fix whatsoever. I am currently working on my finals project and I've come across this white-space problem which seems to only occur on mobile devices. (In my case: iPhone 11) I included a codepen (https://codepen.io/benvi/pen/KKwbzON) on which you can see the problem yourself. On a PC or Laptop, there will be no whitespace on the right side, however if you inspect this codepen on your mobile device you will notice while the animation hasn't finished playing, you can scroll all the way to the right like 1000px or something and as soon as all the elements that came in animated are finished with their animation, the whitespace somehow magically disappears and you can no longer swipe to the right. I am not quite sure how this affects a mobile device but not a pc or laptop. I am fairly new to GSAP and I am sorry if this has already been answered somewhere. Could you possibly teach me to properly position elements off the screen (to animate them in later) without causing excessive amounts of whitespace? Thank you guys!
