Modern CSS Transform Effects

2D and 3D transforms - tilts, cubes, perspective and chained motion - driven only by hover and keyframes.

1Perspective Text

Lays a heading back in 3D perspective with depth layers; it stands up straight on hover. Class: fx-perspective-text

<div class="flex flex-wrap items-center justify-center gap-4 p-4 h-full" style="min-height:200px">
  <h2 class="display-5 font-bold uppercase mb-0 fx-perspective-text">Go further</h2>
</div>

/* CSS (already in assets/css/effects.css) */
.fx-perspective-text {
  display: inline-block; transform: perspective(500px) rotateX(28deg); transform-origin: 50% 100%;
  text-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(var(--wt-primary-rgb), .6), 0 2px 0 rgba(var(--wt-primary-rgb), .5), 0 3px 0 rgba(var(--wt-primary-rgb), .4), 0 10px 14px rgba(0, 0, 0, .25);
  transition: transform .6s cubic-bezier(.2, .8, .2, 1);
}
.fx-perspective-text:hover { transform: perspective(500px) rotateX(0deg); }
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
  .fx-perspective-text, .fx-perspective-text::before, .fx-perspective-text::after, .fx-perspective-text *, .fx-perspective-text *::before, .fx-perspective-text *::after { animation: none !important; transition: none !important; }
}

2Rotate 3D

A badge or tile that rocks around a diagonal axis with rotate3d() - eye-catching for feature icons. Class: fx-rotate-3d

<div class="flex flex-wrap items-center justify-center gap-4 p-4 h-full" style="min-height:200px">
  <div class="fx-rotate-3d rounded-xl text-bg-primary grid text-4xl shadow-md" style="width:96px;height:96px;place-items:center">
    <i class="bi bi-layers-fill" aria-hidden="true"></i>
  </div>
  <div class="fx-rotate-3d rounded-xl border grid text-4xl text-primary-ink" style="width:96px;height:96px;place-items:center;animation-delay:-2s">
    <i class="bi bi-stars" aria-hidden="true"></i>
  </div>
</div>

/* CSS (already in assets/css/effects.css) */
.fx-rotate-3d { animation: fx-rotate-3d-rock 4s ease-in-out infinite; }
.fx-rotate-3d:hover { animation-play-state: paused; }
@keyframes fx-rotate-3d-rock {
  0%, 100% { transform: perspective(600px) rotate3d(1, 1, 0, 0deg); }
  50% { transform: perspective(600px) rotate3d(1, 1, 0, 32deg); }
}
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
  .fx-rotate-3d, .fx-rotate-3d::before, .fx-rotate-3d::after, .fx-rotate-3d *, .fx-rotate-3d *::before, .fx-rotate-3d *::after { animation: none !important; transition: none !important; }
}

3Scale & 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; }
}
