Create A Face Online! Make Your Own Character Online, Create A Virtual Person. Your Caricature, Caricature Drawings From Photos. :< The Shapes of CSS CSS is capable of making all sorts of shapes. Squares and rectangles are easy, as they are the natural shapes of the web. Add a width and height and you have the exact size rectangle you need. We also get the ::before and ::after pseudo-elements in CSS, which give us the potential of two more shapes we can add to the original element. These days, you’re best bet for drawing shapes is either SVG or using a clip-path in CSS, which is SVG-like (and can reference SVG).

Transit - CSS transitions and transformations for jQuery What about older browsers? Transit degrades older browsers by simply not doing the transformations (rotate, scale, etc) while still doing standard CSS (opacity, marginLeft, etc) without any animation. Delays and durations will be ignored. // Delegate .transition() calls to .animate()// if the browser can't do CSS transitions.if (!$.support.transition) $.fn.transition = $.fn.animate; Fallback to frame-based animation If you would like to fallback to classic animation when transitions aren't supported, just manually redefine .transitition to .animate. (Note: if you're using custom easing, you may need to also use jQuery Easing, and restrict your use of easing options to the ones defined there.) $.fx.speeds. Default duration Transit honors jQuery's default speed, $.fx.speeds. Custom easing Define custom easing aliases in $.cssEase. Webkit: prevent flickers Having flickering problems in Webkit?

The markup remains the same. <div class="scene"><div class="box"><div class="box__face box__face--front">front</div><div class="box__face box__face--back">back</div><div class="box__face box__face--right">right</div><div class="box__face box__face--left">left</div><div class="box__face box__face--top">top</div><div class="box__face box__face--bottom">bottom</div></div></div> The CSS the same as the cube’s, with size values changed: width: 300px, height: 200px and translateZ(-50px) on the .box as its 100px deep. front back right left top bottom With position: absolute applied to the faces, they all collapse to the top left corner of .box.
