Floating ghost CSS animation - css

I have created an SVG ghost for my website's logo. I have made a CSS animation so when a user hovers the logo, the ghost starts floating.
Everything works okay except that when it is unhovered, the ghost just drops back to it's original position. Is it possible to have it also animated when it returns to translateY(0)? I have tried a solution myself, but it doesn't work.
Here is the example:
#keyframes float {
100% {
transform: translateY(-8px);
}
}
#keyframes bob {
0% {
transform: translateY(-8px);
}
100% {
transform: translateY(0);
}
}
#keyframes sink {
100% {
transform: translateY(0);
}
}
#logo svg {
margin: 20px;
overflow: visible;
}
#logo #ghost {
animation-name: sink;
animation-duration: 0.3s;
animation-timing-function: ease-out;
animation-delay: 0s;
animation-direction: normal;
animation-iteration-count: 1;
animation-fill-mode: forwards;
}
#logo:hover #ghost {
animation-name: float, bob;
animation-duration: 0.3s, 0.7s;
animation-timing-function: ease-out, ease-in-out;
animation-delay: 0s, 0.3s;
animation-direction: normal, alternate;
animation-iteration-count: 1, infinite;
animation-fill-mode: forwards;
}
<div id="logo">
<svg width="100" height="100">
<g id="ghost">
<rect fill="red" width="100" height="100" />
</g>
</svg>
</div>

It isn't all that difficult with JQuery.
Here's a function that can be called regularly with a setInterval() timer:
var haunt=function(){
var dy;
ghost_ticks++;
ghost_clock++;
if (ghost_clock>30) ghost_clock=30;
dy = Math.sin(Math.abs(ghost_clock) * Math.PI/60); /* sine wave */
dy *= -40 + 6*Math.cos(ghost_ticks/5); /* ramp */
$("#ghost").css("transform","translate(0,"+dy+"px)");
if (ghost_clock==0) {
clearInterval(ghost_timer);
ghost_timer=ghost_ticks=0;
}
}
This calculates the ghost's position as the sum of two components — a sine-wave hovering motion, and a vertical offset that ramps up and down at the start and end of the animation and also controls the amplitude of the hovering.
This is done with two counter variables: ghost_ticks simply increments at every tick and is used to calculate the hovering position, while ghost_clock controls the ramp by counting up to 30 and then stopping. At the end of the animation, its value is made negative, so it counts back to zero, at which point the animation stops.
You can still use a CSS transition to change the ghost's colour.
var ghost_ticks=0, ghost_clock=0, ghost_timer=0;
var haunt=function(){
var dy;
ghost_ticks++;
ghost_clock++;
if (ghost_clock>30) ghost_clock=30;
dy = Math.sin(Math.abs(ghost_clock) * Math.PI/60);
dy *= -40 + 6*Math.cos(ghost_ticks/5);
$("#ghost").css("transform","translate(0,"+dy+"px)");
if (ghost_clock==0) {
clearInterval(ghost_timer);
ghost_timer=ghost_ticks=0;
}
}
var start_haunting=function(){
if (ghost_clock < 0) ghost_clock = -ghost_clock;
if (!ghost_clock) ghost_timer=setInterval(haunt,25);
};
var stop_haunting=function(){
if (ghost_clock > 0) ghost_clock = -ghost_clock;
};
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#logo").hover(start_haunting,stop_haunting);
});
#logo { background-color:#000; width: 200px; height: 200px; }
#logo #ghost { fill:#333; transition: fill 1s; }
#logo:hover #ghost { fill:#999; }

Dripping SVG clip-path on animation

In the following example, I apply a clip-path and animate a block in that path to simulate pouring. The issue is, while it looks like it's rendering well in Safari, we can see the box boundaries of the animated path in Chrome. Any idea why, and how to get rid of them?
.fill {
animation-name: fillAction;
animation-iteration-count: 1;
animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(.2, .6, .8, .4);
animation-duration: 4s;
animation-fill-mode: forwards;
}
#waveShape {
animation-name: waveAction;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-timing-function: linear;
animation-duration: 2s;
fill: #300f0f;
}
#keyframes fillAction {
0% {
transform: translate(0, 700px);
}
100% {
transform: translate(0, 250px);
}
}
#keyframes waveAction {
0% {
transform: translate(380px, 0);
}
100% {
transform: translate(-235px, 0);
}
}

As a possible solution you can use a mask instead:

I've changed the viewBox of the svg element because I wanted the animation in the view but you can change it back to what you want.

How to close gap at the top of SVG triangle after drawing animation

I am working on a project with a lot of SVG-animation. I have no experience in this. I have Googled extensively without finding the solution to my problem.
The problem is that when animating certain shapes, the animation leaves a gap in the shape. This is most prevalent on shapes with angles, like a triangle.
I have seen this done successfully around the web, I just don't understand how. I have made a simple animation using Vivus Instant that you can see in this CodePen: Link to CodePen
<svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 242.89 367.25" class="start" style=""><title>triangeltest</title><path style="fill:#fff;stroke:#1d1d1b;stroke-miterlimit:10;stroke-width:15px" d="M121.44,23.89L10.38,359.75L232.51,359.75L121.44,23.89Z" class="fTJakOHn_0"></path><style data-made-with="vivus-instant">.fTJakOHn_0{stroke-dasharray:930 932;stroke-dashoffset:931;}.start .fTJakOHn_0{animation:fTJakOHn_draw 3000ms ease-in 0ms forwards;}#keyframes fTJakOHn_draw{100%{stroke-dashoffset:0;}}#keyframes fTJakOHn_fade{0%{stroke-opacity:1;}94.44444444444444%{stroke-opacity:1;}100%{stroke-opacity:0;}}</style></svg>
Are there any libraries I can use that automatically avoids this problem? Do I have to export the shapes from Illustrator in a specific way?
What I would do is just disable the dash array once the animation completes.
#keyframes fTJakOHn_draw {
99.9% { stroke-dashoffset:0; stroke-dasharray:930 932; }
100% { stroke-dasharray: none; }
}
If the animation needs to be able to restart after the fade animation, you might also need to put the dash pattern back afterwards.
#keyframes fTJakOHn_fade {
0% { stroke-opacity:1; }
94.44444444444444% { stroke-opacity:1; stroke-dasharray: none; }
100% { stroke-opacity:0; stroke-dasharray:930 932; }
}
Example:
.fTJakOHn_0 {
stroke-dasharray:930 932;
stroke-dashoffset:931;
}
.start .fTJakOHn_0 {
animation:fTJakOHn_draw 3000ms ease-in 0ms forwards;
}
#keyframes fTJakOHn_draw {
99.9% { stroke-dashoffset:0; stroke-dasharray:930 932; }
100% { stroke-dasharray: none; }
}
#keyframes fTJakOHn_fade {
0% { stroke-opacity:1; }
94.44444444444444% { stroke-opacity:1; stroke-dasharray: none; }
100% { stroke-opacity:0; stroke-dasharray:930 932; }
}
<svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 242.89 367.25" class="start" style=""><title>triangeltest</title>
<path style="fill:#fff;stroke:#1d1d1b;stroke-miterlimit:10;stroke-width:15px" d="M121.44,23.89L10.38,359.75L232.51,359.75L121.44,23.89Z" class="fTJakOHn_0"></path>
</svg>
Not sure if there's any easier way of doing this, the closest solution I found recently was using a clip path on the SVG itself. I've just stuck this on your codepen example as a tester:
svg {
clip-path: polygon(50% 6.4%, 0 100%, 100% 100%);
}
You may want to increase the stroke width if needed? It's not pretty, but it gets the result.
One possible solution would be adding stroke-linecap:round; stroke-linejoin:round; for the triangle:
Layer_1.addEventListener("click",()=>{Layer_1.classList.toggle("start")})
svg{border:1px solid;width:200px;}
<svg id="Layer_1" viewBox="0 0 242.89 367.25" class="start" ><title>triangeltest</title>
<path style="fill:#fff;stroke:#1d1d1b;stroke-miterlimit:10;stroke-width:15px" d="M121.44,23.89L10.38,359.75L232.51,359.75L121.44,23.89Z" class="fTJakOHn_0"></path>
<style data-made-with="vivus-instant">
.fTJakOHn_0{
stroke-dasharray:930;
stroke-dashoffset:930;
stroke-linecap:round;
stroke-linejoin:round;
}
.start .fTJakOHn_0{
animation:fTJakOHn_draw 3000ms ease-in 0ms forwards;
}
#keyframes fTJakOHn_draw{
100%{stroke-dashoffset:0;}
}</style>

Animate SVG fill from left to right

I have this SVG that I want to smoothly fill from left to right. How can I do that using CSS?
I don't want the line to be moving, i want it filling smoothly from left to right while staying in the same place, that's why i'm using svg.

You can indeed do this in CSS with the stroke property.
I'm sorry by advance, I can't use your SVG because it's a shape and in order to make your effect you only need a path without fill. So I take this SVG for the example (from this article : https://jakearchibald.com/2013/animated-line-drawing-svg/):
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="98" width="581" viewBox="0 0 581 98">

Notice the stroke and stroke-width properties. It's the beginning of the trick ;). Then you need to add some CSS :
.path {
//we divide the line in multiple dashes (some full and other empty)
//these dashes have 1000px in length
//so there are one dash full of 1000px of length and then one dash empty of 1000px of length and so on and so forth
stroke-dasharray: 1000;
//we change the position of the dashes
stroke-dashoffset: 1000;
//now we animate the dashoffset
//we reduce the offset of each dash so we have the impression that the dashes are moving
animation: dash 5s linear forwards;
}
#keyframes dash {
to {
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
}
}
And that's it !

How to animate handwriting text on the web page using SVG?

I am trying to animate a text that I created and saved as SVG. So far, I've only been able to animate the stroke, but that's not what I am trying to achieve. How can I implement animation like the two examples, below?
http://codepen.io/se7ensky/pen/waoMyx
https://codepen.io/munkholm/pen/EaZJQE
Here is what I have so far:
.test {
width: 300px
/* margin:0 auto; */
}
.l1 {
animation: dash 15s 1;
stroke-linecap: round;
stroke-miterlimit: 10;
stroke-dasharray: 300;
stroke-dashoffset: 300;
animation-fill-mode: forwards;
/*fill: none;*/
}
.l2 {
stroke-dasharray: 300;
stroke-dashoffset: 300;
animation: dash 20s linear forwards;
-webkit-animation-delay: 1s;
/* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
animation-delay: 1s;
}
.l3 {
stroke-dasharray: 300;
stroke-dashoffset: 300;
animation: dash 25s linear forwards;
-webkit-animation-delay: 2.5s;
/* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
animation-delay: 2.5s;
}
.l4 {
stroke-dasharray: 300;
stroke-dashoffset: 300;
animation: dash 25s linear forwards;
-webkit-animation-delay: 4.5s;
/* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
animation-delay: 4.5s;
}
#keyframes dash {
to {
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
}

How the Se7ensky animation works is that it uses the standard dash animation technique, but clips the animated stroke with an outline representing the hand-drawn look of the logo.
So the standard dash animation technique works as follows. You take a standard line:
<svg>
<path d="M 10,75 L 290,75" stroke="red" stroke-width="50"/>
</svg>
Then you add a dash pattern to it and animate it's position (stroke-dashoffset).
.pen {
stroke-dasharray: 280 280;
stroke-dashoffset: 280;
animation-duration: 2s;
animation-name: draw;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-direction: alternate;
animation-timing-function: linear;
}
#keyframes draw {
from {
stroke-dashoffset: 280;
}
to {
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
}
}
<svg>
<path class="pen" d="M 10,75 L 290,75" stroke="red" stroke-width="50"/>
</svg>
Finally to get the fancy variable stroke width of the Se7ensky example, you clip that line with the outline of your logo.
So let's pretend this simple path below represents your logo:
<svg>
<path stroke="black" stroke-width="1" fill="lightgrey"
d="M 40,50
C 110,55 195,60, 265,55
C 290,55 290,85 265,85
C 195,85 110,85 40,100
C 0,100 0,50 40,50 Z"/>
</svg>
We turn that into a clipPath element and use it to trim our animated stroke to the shape of our logo:
.pen {
stroke-dasharray: 280 280;
stroke-dashoffset: 280;
animation-duration: 2s;
animation-name: draw;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-direction: alternate;
animation-timing-function: linear;
}
#keyframes draw {
from {
stroke-dashoffset: 280;
}
to {
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
}
}
<svg>
<clipPath id="logo">
<path d="M 40,50
C 110,55 195,60, 265,55
C 290,55 290,85 265,85
C 195,85 110,85 40,100
C 0,100 0,50 40,50 Z"/>
</clipPath>
<path class="pen" d="M 10,75 L 290,75" stroke="red" stroke-width="50" clip-path="url(#logo)"/>
</svg>
So to replicate their example, you'll need to add a continuous path (or paths if you want) to your SVG that represents the path that a pen would take if it were writing the letters in your logo.
Then animate that path using the dashoffset technique while clipping it with your original logo.
Update
Here's a final demo with a more realistic letter shape:
// Simple code to enable and disable the clipping path
var chk = document.getElementById("chk");
var penpath = document.getElementById("penpath");
chk.addEventListener("input", function(evt) {
if (evt.target.checked) {
penpath.classList.add("clipped");
} else {
penpath.classList.remove("clipped");
}
});
.pen {
fill: none;
stroke: red;
stroke-width: 18;
stroke-linecap: round;
stroke-dasharray: 206 206;
stroke-dashoffset: 206;
animation-duration: 2s;
animation-name: draw;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-direction: alternate;
animation-timing-function: linear;
}
.clipped {
clip-path: url(#logo);
}
#keyframes draw {
from {
stroke-dashoffset: 206;
}
to {
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
}

The example looks like a combination of svg paths and delayed animations.
This blog post by CSS-Tricks explains it pretty well (Note that the svg must have strokes for this to work):
https://css-tricks.com/svg-line-animation-works/
Here's a guide on stroke-dashoffset (used on the example) that might be useful:
https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/s/stroke-dashoffset/

Change direction of SVG animation

I saw this SVG animation and I'm wondering how to alter the direction that the line is erased in; currently the line retracts from the last point it is drawn, however I want the reverse; for the line to erase itself from the point where it first started to draw (so that it looks more like a loading animation).
I see that the animation property on .path has a value of infinite, but I'm not sure how the direction is specified.
The HTML is
<div class="bg">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="670" height="236" viewBox="0 0 670 236">
<path class="path" stroke="#4CADC1" stroke-width="4" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-miterlimit="10" stroke-dasharray="300" stroke-dashoffset="300" fill="none" d="M343.6 75.9v20.3l23.1 21.8-23.1 21.8v20.3l44.6-42.1zM326.4 139.8l-23.1-21.8 23.1-21.8v-20.3l-44.6 42.1 44.6 42.1z"/>
<path class="path" stroke="#4CADC1" stroke-width="4" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-miterlimit="10" stroke-dasharray="500" stroke-dashoffset="500" fill="none" d="M335 38.9c-43.7 0-79.1 35.4-79.1 79.1s35.4 79.1 79.1 79.1 79.1-35.4 79.1-79.1-35.4-79.1-79.1-79.1zM335 182.9c-35.8 0-64.9-29.1-64.9-64.9s29.1-64.9 64.9-64.9 64.9 29.1 64.9 64.9-29.1 64.9-64.9 64.9z"/>
</svg>
</div>
And the CSS is
body {
background-color: #fff;
}
.bg {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
.path {
animation: draw 3.5s infinite;
}
#keyframes draw {
50% {
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
}
}
I like your idea of making this an loading animation:
CODEPEN
Now what i did:
changed the animation start stop point
#keyframes draw {
100% {
stroke-dashoffset: -500;
}
}
Why -500?
Because this is the value of the dash-array.
This is defined in the <svg>: dasharray="500"
Changed this value in the inner most path. It was only 300
I added a linear animation
animation: draw 5s infinite linear;
The default is ease. I found the animation has better consistency with a linear animation.
NOTE
dashoffset=500 <- makes the animation start without the dash/stroke
I used the negative value for stroke-dashoffset that Persijn recommended. This worked great in Chrome and FF, but it didn't work properly in Safari.
I've found that if you open the SVG in Illustrator, you can reverse the direction of the path, by opening the Attributes panel (you might have to click the "show more" in the top right) and literally clicking the "reverse path" button.
stroke-dasharray can be a list of white space separated dashes and gaps, so you could do something like this:
var svgPath = document.getElementById('svgPath');
var pathLength = svgPath.getTotalLength();
var offset = 0;
function offsetPath() {
requestAnimationFrame(offsetPath);
offset += 0.1;
var dasharray = 0 + ' ' + offset + ' ' + (pathLength - offset);
svgPath.setAttribute('stroke-dasharray', dasharray);
}
requestAnimationFrame(offsetPath);
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="670" height="236" viewBox="0 0 670 236">
<path id="svgPath" class="path" stroke="#4CADC1" stroke-width="4" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-miterlimit="10" stroke-dasharray="100 100 100" fill="none" d="M343.6 75.9v20.3l23.1 21.8-23.1 21.8v20.3l44.6-42.1zM326.4 139.8l-23.1-21.8 23.1-21.8v-20.3l-44.6 42.1 44.6 42.1z"
/>
</svg>
Changing SVG Line Animation Direction
Add KeyFrames and Classes for Both Directions:
.dash {
stroke-dasharray : 10 5;
animation : dash 4s linear infinite;
}
.dash_reverse {
stroke-dasharray : 10 5;
animation : dash_reverse 4s linear infinite;
}
#keyframes dash {
to {
stroke-dashoffset: 100;
}
}
#keyframes dash_reverse {
to {
stroke-dashoffset: -100;
}
}
Use JavaScript to Toggle Animation:
function animate_line_forward(id) {
$("#" + id).removeClass("dash_reverse");
$("#" + id).addClass("dash");
}
function animate_line_reverse(id) {
$("#" + id).removeClass("dash");
$("#" + id).addClass("dash_reverse");
}
Call functions as needed (pass the SVG line id into the above functions:
Calling animate_line_forward:
Calling animate_line_reverse:
