SVG wave animation

[OSUblake 9,990 Likes (Superhero)]

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?

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

@Carl thanks for your reply!

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

 

[Carl 9,066 Likes (Superhero)]

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?

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

[mikel 1,823 Likes (Superhero)]

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
