Just managed to finish this before uni started! you can watch this Beings animation meme on my YT now :>

This is a remake of my old beings animation meme from 2018 (SIX years ago wagh!!!) I wanted something quick and easy to practice animating in clip studio paint and this was perfect for that. and it turned out so cutee

Modern Scroll Shadows Using Scroll-Driven Animations

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/modern-scroll-shadows-using-scroll-driven-animations/

Modern Scroll Shadows Using Scroll-Driven Animations

Using scroll shadows, especially for mobile devices, is a subtle bit of UX that Chris has covered before (indeed, it’s one of his all-time favorite CSS tricks), by layering background gradients with different attachments, we can get shadows that are covered up when you’ve scrolled to the limits of the element.

Geoff covered a newer approach that uses the animation-timeline property. Using animation-timeline, we can tie CSS animation to the scroll position. His example uses pseudo-elements to render the scroll shadows, and animation-range to animate the opacity of the pseudo-elements based on scroll.

Here’s yet another way. Instead of using shadows, let’s use a CSS mask to fade out the edges of the scrollable element. This is a slightly different visual metaphor that works great for horizontally scrollable elements — places where your scrollable element doesn’t have a distinct border of its own. This approach still uses animation-timeline, but we’ll use custom properties instead of pseudo-elements. Since we’re fading, the effect also works regardless of whether we’re on a dark or light background.

First, we’ll define our scrollable element with a mask that fades out the start and end of the container. For this example, let’s consider the infamous table that can’t be responsive and has to be horizontally scrollable on mobile.

Let’s add the mask. We can use the shorthand and find the mask as a linear gradient that fades out on either end. A mask lets the table fade into the background instead of overlaying a shadow, but you could use the same technique for shadows.

.scrollable mask: linear-gradient(to right, #0000, #ffff 3rem calc(100% - 3rem), #0000);

Defining the custom properties and animation

Next, we need to define our custom properties and the animation. We’ll define two separate properties, --left-fade and --right-fade, using @property. Using @property is necessary here to specify the syntax of the properties so that browsers can animate the property’s values.

@property --left-fade syntax: "<length>"; inherits: false; initial-value: 0; @property --right-fade syntax: "<length>"; inherits: false; initial-value: 0; @keyframes scrollfade 0% --left-fade: 0; 10%, 100% --left-fade: 3rem; 0%, 90% --right-fade: 3rem; 100% --right-fade: 0;

Instead of using multiple animations or animation-range, we can define a single animation where --left-fade animates from 0 to 3rem between 0-10%, and --right-fade animates from 3rem to 0 between 90-100%. Now we update our mask to use our custom properties and tie the scroll-timeline of our element to its own animation-timeline.

Putting it all together

Putting it all together, we have the effect we’re after:

We’re still waiting for some browsers (Safari) to support animation-timeline, but this gracefully degrades to simply not fading the element at all.

Wrapping up

I like this implementation because it combines two newer bits of CSS — animating custom properties and animation-timeline — to achieve a practical effect that’s more than just decoration. The technique can even be used with scroll-snap-based carousels or cards:

It works regardless of content or background and doesn’t require JavaScript. It exemplifies just how far CSS has come lately.

how does one make graphics (i need to . improve)

Well, the Princess' methods are very simple! She would be glad to teach you.

A bit long graphic tutorial under cut ^_^ (all art by Iinquint on twitter)

First, we import the frame or mask you will use. You can find these by searching "rentry frame".

Then, we will import our picture and erase any excess outside of the frame.

Then we usually add a chibi, You can do this by finding chibi art and erasing the background.

And now we will add any PNGs to the graphic. We chose circle laces for this.

Now we will duplicate the layer of our chibi.

We then use the Stroke Outer filter to find dots that weren't erased, we will go to the top original later and erase where all the exposed dots are.

After that, we delete the layer & reduplicate it. Then we use stroke outer for a white outline, and then a black one. If the chibi or whatever you are using is white or very light already, feel free to reverse the white & black.

Then we add glow outer (usually around 1-2px)

Continue this process for everything

Save it

And then we will import it into a new canvas through 'import picture' & then use the grayscale.

Now, We do not always use a gradient map. But feel free to try out gradients to see if it looks nice on the graphic. Either of the 2 top sites work.

Find a gradient that looks nice. If none fit your vision, feel free to skip it.

Now, import the new image and then add textures. Play around with blending modes & opacity until it looks right.

Boom! You've made your very own graphic.

Now for animated graphics...

(No visuals) If you'd like one where the small chibi moves, move it to be angle -5, save it, and then angle 5 and save it. (Also adjust angles if the 5 looks weird.)

Import the images into ezgif gif maker and turn on "Don't stack frames" and adjust delay time. (I usually use 80ish)

--

Animated graphics 2

Import your graphic into capcut. Add a green background or whatever color is not present on your graphic at all. Add the gif you want on the graphic. Adjust for all the images to go on for equal times so it works.

Ezgif > Mp4 to gif > Remove Background > Select hex code of background > "Replace hex with transparency" > Adjust Fuzz > Optimize

And voila, your graphic is completed! Feel free to adjust in ezgif effects if needed.

SUMMARIZED ID: Reigen sees the spirits in the living room, unintentionally zapping them with his powers. He's shocked for a moment, then recovers and threatens them as he typically does. Mob reflects on how it's scary that he can't see the spirits. His percentage goes up to 60%. Reigen does a special move, but it makes a huge explosion. As the dust clears, Reigen looks shocked.

FULL ID:

Page One:

Reigen looks suspiciously at the corner of the room where he just heard a whooshing noise. Then he gasps, getting into a defensive stance and backing up against Mob. His powers flare up, shown as gradients with hexagonal marks and crisscross lines around his head and hands. He addresses the spirits angrily: "I know you're there! come out, evil spirits!". Mob turns around with a surprised expression, looking down at Reigen. The next two panels show Mob staring blankly at Reigen, then looking around nervously. On the far wall, the wallpaper is suddenly ripped into two long claw-like lines. Reigen points to it, his finger extending slightly out of the panel. "There!" he shouts.

Page Two:

From Reigen's extended finger a large bolt of psychic energy is blasted out to the wall. It's shown as a white explosive burst of energy with the word "zap!" on the trail, and "crack!" when it hits the wall. The energy from the blast blows back Mob and Reigen's hair. Both of them shut their eyes. Mob covers his face with his forearms. Psychic energy is shown around Reigen's head and hand. The next panel shows them still in their defensive positions, but now Reigen is lowering his finger and his energy is fading. They both look up, Mob with slight surprise and Reigen pulling his hands to his chest, mouth drawn in a fine line and eyes wide. The wall is shown, now more banged up and sizzling with smoke coming off of it. Reigen stares up at the damage, eyes wide. "Wow, that was..." he says, then trails off and looks to the side nervously/awkwardly, his hair is messy and he has a sweat drop on his cheek. He then gets into a pose with his arms up and fingers outstretched, he says: "That was only a small taste of what I can do! So just make it easy on yourselves and come out!" Immediately, he flinches and backs up into Mob's front as there is a wooshing effect that heads towards him. His powers flare up. Mob looks down at Reigen, eyebrows raised. "Master?" He asks. "Are you seeing something?"

Page Three:

From a high camera angle, we see Reigen still in his defensive position, looking at thin air from Mob's perspective. His speech bubble reads: "..." Mob still looks down at Reigen, brows drawn slightly together now. He thinks to himself: "Not being able to see what's making master so alert... is actually..." A close up shot of his eyes, a worry line under one of them with the background dark. "King of scary..." Mob's percentage raises to 60%. The next panel shows Reigen again at the center, with Mob being in the background up to his slightly parted mouth, his eyes no longer shown. Reigen lowers his hands a bit and says: "So, that's your plan, huh? Well,..." He flips back the side of his PJ shirt and reaches into his pocket, there is a pouch of salt inside. His powers flare as he exclaims "You won't get the chance!" He claps his salt-covered palms together and the effect showing his powers gets darker and more prominent around his hands and head. He glares, hands still together and says: "I'm going to send you back to the Ozone Layer."

Page Four:

Salt splashes down onto his sneakers before Reigen executes his special move. The next panel is highly detailed with motion lines and shading, similar to the "special move" drawings in the Mob Psycho anime. Reigen is doing a roundhouse kick, one hand in a fist and another splayed out with an intense open-mouthed expression. His kick is shown in an arch with salt spraying in it's wake. Bolts of lightning decorate the background, splaying out alongside dark action lines from his face. The words "PSYCHIC ROUNDHOUSE" are at the bottom of the panel. The text box reads: "This is one of Reigen's special moves, where he dribbles salt on his shoes then sprays it at his opponents with a powerful roundhouse kick; now with the aid of his student's psychic abilities." The next panel shows a massive explosion. Clouds of dust obscure Reigen in the next three panels, getting lesser as the panels progress. Reigen coughs, hand up to his mouth and eyes shut. Then he slowly lowers his hand and coughs a little more as he peeks open one eye. In the final panel, he gasps and both of his eyes go wide, mouth agape, and hair blowing back from his face due to his power's flaring up once again.
