The Variable Site: Complacency Curve

 


Today we are going to deconstruct a cool effect I saw on The Variable website.

Even if you don't know much about GSAP or SVG Animation, this video will give you a glimpse into my training style.

Most importantly you'll see how much you can do with just a basic understanding of GSAP and a few lines of code!


Video Objectives

  1. Copy the SVG code from the Variable site and edit in Boxy SVG.
  2. Morph the path with GSAP's Attribute Plugin.
  3. Animate a path segment with DrawSVG


 

Basic Demo

Be sure to mouse-over the colored hotspots to move the path segment.


Finished Demo (move mouse anywhere)

Be sure to move your mouse anywhere to move the path segment and trigger the fancy "stage" animations.

The demo above is what we build together in Creative Coding Club through a series of 6 detailed videos.

I know the code may look a little intimidating now, but don't worry, I break it all down for you!
