Modern CSS Transform Effects
2D and 3D transforms - tilts, cubes, perspective and chained motion - driven only by hover and keyframes.
1Scale & Rotate
A springy scale-and-twist on hover for icons, avatars, logos and small buttons. Class: fx-scale-rotate
<div class="flex flex-wrap items-center justify-center gap-4 p-4 h-full" style="min-height:200px">
<img src="../assets/img/avatar-4.svg" alt="Avatar" class="fx-scale-rotate rounded-full shadow-sm" style="width:72px;height:72px">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg rounded-full fx-scale-rotate" aria-label="Favourite"><i class="bi bi-star-fill" aria-hidden="true"></i></button>
<img src="../assets/img/logo-3.svg" alt="Brand logo" class="fx-scale-rotate" style="width:110px">
</div>
/* CSS (already in assets/css/effects.css) */
.fx-scale-rotate { transition: transform .45s cubic-bezier(.34, 1.8, .64, 1); }
.fx-scale-rotate:hover, .fx-scale-rotate:focus-visible { transform: scale(1.15) rotate(-8deg); }
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
.fx-scale-rotate, .fx-scale-rotate::before, .fx-scale-rotate::after, .fx-scale-rotate *, .fx-scale-rotate *::before, .fx-scale-rotate *::after { animation: none !important; transition: none !important; }
}2Transform Chain
Chains translate, rotate and scale as separate properties with staggered timing for a lively hover. Class: fx-transform-chain
