Interactive navigation list triggering high-fidelity liquid WebGL texture displacement slides on image background canvas.

Liquid WebGL Displacement Slide Navigation

This immersive navigation interface integrates Curtains.js to render liquid WebGL texture displacement transitions behind a typographic menu. Moving the mouse over the text links updates the shader’s active textures, using a custom cubic ease-out to bend and morph the pixel coordinates seamlessly. The menu list features staggered GSAP entry animations and double-layered text-stroke outlines. (Requires: gsap.js, curtains.js)

Minimalist navigation menu expanding outward via a circular clip-path transition, featuring GSAP stagger animations.

Circular Reveal Fullscreen Navigation Menu

Circular Reveal Fullscreen Navigation Menu leverages GSAP timelines to orchestrate a fluid canvas expansion by animating a CSS clip-path circle from 0px to 200%. Simultaneous staggered translations are applied to navigation links using a responsive elastic.out easing curve, creating a highly tactile, sequential entry. While the transition remains visually seamless on high-refresh-rate screens, full-screen masking with dynamic clip paths can impose substantial rendering overhead, demanding GPU-accelerated layer promotion via will-change: clip-path to maintain consistent frame rates.

Staggered Panel Curtain Menu

The Staggered Panel Curtain Menu is a creative full-screen navigation concept that breaks the traditional “fade-in” mold.
