Cubic bézier curves smoothing effect

[howdu 1 Likes (Newbie)]

I'm trying to create a wave smoothing effect, where I morphSVG 2 paths together if you have scrolled passed a certain point. 

 

How can I make it animate from the bottom only?

 

 

See the issue here during animating between the 2 paths.

I don't quite understand your question or your goal. 

 

Are you saying that you only want the very bottom curve of your white shape to morph (whereas currently the upper right corner also appears to shift)? If so, you can alter the shapeIndex (feel free to use the findShapeIndex() utility, like http://codepen.io/GreenSock/pen/LpxOqR) or you can just make sure that your start/end shapes have the same number of points and that you only move the points along the bottom. Currently, it looks like you've got mis-matching numbers of points, so MorphSVGPlugin must fabricate some points for you.

Morphing is good for changing from one shape to another, but a wave is hardly a static shape. It might look better to actually draw a wave without morphing. It's not as hard you may think.

To animate the wave based on some other factor, like scrolling, you could use the ModifiersPlugin. Check out how I'm animating the strength of the wave from 0 to 1.
