That’s pretty cleaver but me been me i like to find bugs and indeed i found one, if you hover your mouse close enough to the edge of the leaf the transition goes nuts and you get this kind of unexpected but cool looking 3D warp. Other then that it works very well :D
That is awesome man Gona use it some where ! Just wow ..Users will keep on playing with it !
This is really amazing thanks.. Ahmad is right users will keep on playing with it.. as I was playing for minutes!!
This intresting article.then thank u……this very clearly understand with my knowledge…
Its awesome man!!
My screen flickers black at the end of each transition.
Does anybody else get this issue? (Chrome 12.0.742.122)
yep. thought i was blinking involuntarily or something.
I get the same exact problem for all CSS transitions, on any site, when I’m using Chrome.
Very cool! must find a place to use this.
@Ben: With the exact same version of Chrome, I don’t get the flicker you mentioned.
This is very cool !
Hi,
awesome work! cool transition and eye catching too. but as usual(with IE) there is an issue with different versions of IE. None of the version of IE display proper menu. In IE8 and IE7 you can not even get the alignment and transition, some how it works on IE9 but misalignment. Rest browsers it works nice.
Well Done :) !!!
This is really awesome, great work! :)
This Indicates the power of CSS3. Awesome and great works. Thanks for sharing.
