Apple is well known for their innovative thinking in just about everything they do. Now they’re making a bid to add rich 3D effects to CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), potentially rivaling (or replacing?) Flash as the de-facto animation tool for websites.
Charles Ying has posted an interesting demo of some stunning visual effects he calls “Snow Stack”, created solely with WebKit and Apple’s WebKit CSS 3D Transforms technology. See it for yourself, and maybe even download a WebKit nightly build and give it a try.
Update: Charles Ying of satine.org and Peter Kasting of chromium.org, were both kind enough to point out an error in this post which has been corrected, and have also offered a link to WebKit’s official post for more information. Thanks guys!
