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
Next level
<div class="d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center justify-content-center gap-3 p-3 h-100" style="min-height:200px">
<h2 class="display-5 fw-bold text-uppercase mb-0 fx-perspective-text">Next level</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; }
}2Matrix Transform
Uses a single matrix() to scale, skew and lift a tile at once on hover. Class: fx-matrix-transform
<div class="d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center justify-content-center gap-3 p-3 h-100" style="min-height:200px">
<a href="#" class="fx-matrix-transform d-block text-decoration-none rounded-4 p-4 text-white" style="width:13rem;background:linear-gradient(135deg, var(--wt-primary), var(--wt-secondary))">
<div class="fs-2">
<i class="bi bi-bounding-box" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</div>
<div class="fw-semibold">
Private events
</div>
<div class="small opacity-75">
Hover me
</div>
</a>
</div>
