Holy cow, that’s insane!
Omg, so insane and all done with CSS3? Wow, I really couldn’t imagine we will be able to do something like that with CSS. Who knows what more we will find out from CSS3 in future. I’m sure that’s not all ! :D
Geez, man… I hope you never lose your ability to surprise your public once and again :))
Awesome!
This looks cool. I’m definitely going to try it.
BTW I think this site could really do with a forum. It would be awsome to chat with others about web design and any issues people might have when following tutorials.
I second that
Third
Agreed. This would be an awesome place for a community.
This is a great tutorial. I can’t wait to get a few minutes and try it out.
I agree with that as well, but…
Usually forums makes the content too close in my opinion, it should be good to have a better way to discuss about tutorials.
true , these comments are in no way a good overview.
I agree also
Agreed.
Looks good…
That’s some impressive stuff. I have been meaning to start my membership…
This is really awesome. I can’t wait for CSS3 and HTML5 to become standard.
I’ll play with all this in the meantime, but it is so exciting to see all the new features that would be available to implement in the future.
Thanks a lot Jeff for letting us in on this.
Great tutorial! It mostly works on the iphone/ipod touch now but it is adding some transparency for some reason.
Question for everyone. Why do you think we are more accepting of webkit specific methods whereas we consider IE specific methods to be counter-productive to the growth of the web?
It depends on which set of features were talking about. Getting PNGs to show up in IE6 feels weird and unintuitive (at least the 3 methods Ive used has). Compared to Gecko and Webkit, it paints the picture that IE specific features are restricted to unintuitive methods to do what other browsers do by default.
That, and there are very few tutorials/evangelists for IE specific methods. A great example of this would be the drag-and-drop features that have been in IE since 4.0 and improved for 5 and 5.5.
Webkit is fashionable. Their features seem to be easily understood improvements which highlight IEs age. For example, there are methods for drop shadows in IE, webkit and gecko (opera too?). All of them are different, but IEs seems very different from the others and the w3c spec. IEs method feels proprietary while the others only are proprietary — if that makes sense.
One issue that I dont know much about is why they need the webkit specific syntax. There is a 3d spec in css3, so why dont they just use w3c property names? Id appreciate any enlightenment on this.
This is really cool, but I hope that nettuts will come out with some HTML5 canvas tuts some time. I never liked flash and can’t wait to do things that flash has been known for doing well…
It’s really cool . Thanks so much :)
Nice tutorial, definitly worth going premium for
Oh, that`s soooo cool!
really an unbeleiveable tut. definitely premium
That’s the reason why I think that Flash is dead.
Great job!
Nice to see my design in this 3D box :D
This tutorial should be exciting.
Very cool tutorial! Its pretty amazing what we as designers are able to do using only CSS. I dont think this will be the last thing we see come out of CSS either..
Insane! – Cant wait to actually see this in action on a production site.
Rotations on the y-axis and x-axis? 3D is all about the z-axis, thats whats makes it 3D :)! Amazing stuff, I didn’t know you could actually do this only with CSS? Keep up the good work!
good stuff!! thanks
