SVG wave animation

[OSUblake]

I added an option to show the points in case it's not clear what's going on. Each point is animated between the minRadius and maxRadius at a certain angle. And on every update, the catmull-rom/cardinal function creates a smooth path between all the points in a blob.

And don't be afraid to experiment. Everybody writes bad code, and everybody starts out at the same level. I was a total n00b at one point in time.

 

Appreciate the insight & advice, very interesting to hear. Also just checked the pen again & saw show points ... very cool!

How's this @smallio

 

Create your blob like so. The options should be easy enough to understand.

 

var blob1 = createBlob({
  element: document.querySelector("#path1"),
  numPoints: 20,
  centerX: 500,
  centerY: 500,
  minRadius: 300,
  maxRadius: 325,
  minDuration: 1,
  maxDuration: 2
});

@OSUblake How we can change width and height of this blob?

[Carl]

Hi matthee,

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

An easy approach would be to put your paths in a group and scale the group like

 

TweenMax.to("#blobs", 3, {scale:4, repeat:-1, yoyo:true, transformOrigin:"center"})

 

See the Pen OBVdNN?editors=0010 by GreenSock (@GreenSock) on CodePen.

 

if you don't want to animate the scaling, use set() – which is a tween with no duration.

 

TweenMax.set("#blobs",  {scale:4, repeat:-1, yoyo:true, transformOrigin:"center"});

 

edit: updated with proper pen

 

[matthee]

@Carl thanks for your reply!

But is this possible to change width and height like that? 

 

[Carl]

you can set scaleX and scaleY independently

Hi @matthee,

 

Here are some additional comments on CARL's great example.

With '.fromTo' the range of scaling can be defined. With separate tweens per axis, the axes can be animated offset (different durations). Depending on the scaling the SVG should be set with 'overflow: visible'.

And: Try out the options that @OSUblake offers: for example 'centerY' or 'numPoints' ...

happy tweening and a unique blob ...

Hello,

 

I've adapted an existant codepen to a jquery plugin in order to animate a svg into a random wave effect. I managed to use tweenMax in order to smooth the animation but i dont know if i've done that properly or if something can be improved or re-writed in a more clever way.

 

Feel free to copy the jquery plugin if you need it

 

Best regards,

How to remove the resize effect on windows resize, and keep it always at 100% in width?

Hi DAM,

 

I am not sure I understand what you are asking for here, can you rephrase it please?

[ABS]

Can any one help me to animate the sea waves hitting wall and rebounding back?

[mikel]

Hey @ABS,

 

Welcome to the GreenSock Forum.

 

It would be great to create a new topic for such a question.

 

AND: Where's the wall? What kind of wave?
Please provide a reduced CodePen to imagine what you want to animate.

 

Kind regards

Mikel

Do you have a GSAP question? It doesn't look like you're using GSAP.

 

This type of question is beyond the scope of the forum. Having a wave rebound off a wall is incredibly difficult to do. You would most likely need some type of physics engine.

Thank you sir for your suggestion.

Hello all,

 

I am very new to coding and I am trying to create a website similar to this one: https://www.cavempt.com/

 

It seems to be using SVG for the wave animations. If you guys have any ideas how I can figure out this effect that would be awesome!
 

Cheers,

 

Adam

Hey @Adamk247 and welcome to the GreenSock forums.

 

This thread should provide you insight on how to animate waves. Another similar thread that may help is 

Other than that, please let us know if you have specific questions. We don't have the capacity to build out every effect that users ask for  

[ZachSaucier]

@Adamk247 I just happened to come across this pen. Maybe it was made by the creators of that page? It's similar

[Adamk247]

Thank you for your response @ZachSaucier and for giving me the other thread to check out! I’m sure when I begin working through it more I will have more specific questions that I can ask.

 

That does look very similar and will help me while I’m trying to build my site!

 

[Adamk247]

I have created this example in CodePen and am wondering why the SVG wave in front is not clipping out the image animation behind. Any help would be awesome.

Hey @Adamk247,

@mikel That was a helpful one! Figured it out  

 

Thanks
