    3D Curtain Template

    3D Curtain Template

    Creating the structure

    The HTML structure is quite basic: for each block of content we created an element containing a div.cd-block and 2 div.cd-half-block. The first .cd-half-block is always empty and is used to set the background image, while the second contains the text paragraph.

    Here’s the structure code:

    Adding style

    On small devices, we didn’t implement the curtain effect so you’ll see a basic layout with the list of all the sections (you can have a look at the source code for more details).

    On desktop devices (viewport width more than 1170px), we assigned the position: fixed and a top: 0 to the .cd-block elements in order to place them on top of the screen (this way they are one on top of the other). Since their containers – .cd-section – have a height: 100vh (and position: static), they still occupy their own space (that way we can scroll the page).

    Besides, we assigned a translateX to each .cd-half-block element (translateX(-100%) and translateX(100%) alternatively to :first-of-type and :nth-of-type(2)) so that they are moved outside the viewport.

    @media only screen and (min-width: 1170px) {
      .cd-section {
        height: 100vh;
      }
      .cd-block {
        position: fixed;
        top: 0;
        left: 0;
      }
      .cd-half-block {
        height: 100vh;
        width: 50%;
        position: absolute;
        top: 0;
      }
      .cd-section:nth-of-type(even) .cd-half-block:first-of-type, 
      .cd-section:nth-of-type(odd) .cd-half-block:nth-of-type(2) {
        left: 0;
        transform: translateX(-100%);
      }
      .cd-section:nth-of-type(odd) .cd-half-block:first-of-type, 
      .cd-section:nth-of-type(even) .cd-half-block:nth-of-type(2) {
        right: 0;
        transform: translateX(100%);
      }
    }

    Events Handling

    Each section animation is basically made up of two phases: in the first one, the 2 .cd-half-block elements are moved back in the viewport (the translateX value varies from 100%/-100% to 0); in the second one the .cd-block is scaled down and its opacity is reduced (to simulate a 3D movement).

    To do so, we attached the triggerAnimation() function to the window scroll event. When the user scrolls, for each .cd-section element we evaluate – using the animateSection() function – the translateX and scale value according to the window scrollTop (and the section offset().top).

    $(window).on('scroll', function(){
    	triggerAnimation();
    });
     
    function triggerAnimation(){
    	if(MQ == 'desktop') {
    		//if on desktop screen - animate sections
    		window.requestAnimationFrame(animateSection);
    	} // .....
    }
     
    function animateSection () {
    	$('.cd-section').each(function(){
    		var actualBlock = $(this),
    			scale,
    			translate,
    			opacity;
     
    		//evaluate scale/translate values
    		//...
     
    		scaleBlock(actualBlock.find('.cd-block'), scale, opacity);
    		translateBlock(actualBlock.find('.cd-half-block').eq(0), '-'+translate);
    		translateBlock(actualBlock.find('.cd-half-block').eq(1), translate);	
    	});
    }
     
    function translateBlock(elem, value) {
    	elem.css({
    	 	//...
    		'transform': 'translateX(' + value + ')',
    	});
    }
     
    function scaleBlock(elem, value, opac) {
    	elem.css({
    	    //...
    		'transform': 'scale(' + value + ')',
    		'opacity': opac
    	});
    }
