Pulling and motion effect cursor

[IchigoSama]

I want a pulling effect as well as a motion effect on the cursor follower.  I tried using skew, but it doesn't look right. Someone help me out with this.

For reference, check https://makepill.com/  cursor follower.

We love helping with GSAP-related questions, but unfortunately we just don't have the resources to provide free general consulting, logic troubleshooting, or "how do I recreate this cool effect I saw on another site?" tutorials. Of course anyone else is welcome to post an answer if they'd like - we just want to manage expectations.  

 

I'd definitely recommend looking into gsap.quickTo() for improved performance on a mouse follower like this. And you could probably put it into a container, and then alter the container's rotation according to the mouse movement (so if the mouse moves at a 45 degree angle, the container is set to 45 degrees) and then watch the velocity of the mouse and tie that to the scaleX of the inner element so that it stretches the faster you go. 

 

Good luck!
