Creating Interactive 3D Card Effects with Mouse Movement

In this video, I demonstrate how to create interactive 3D card effects using CSS and JavaScript. 

The tutorial covers adding rotation, drop shadows, and light effects to make the cards responsive to mouse movements. In this tutorial, you will learn how to add rotation and perspective settings to create a 3D effect for cards. I also guide you through centering play icons, adding box shadows, and making the elements interactive by using mouse X and Y movements. By the end of the video, you'll be able to create an illusion of light and depth that enhances the visual appeal of your web design projects.

Summary

1. Adding Rotation: I show how to add rotation to the card and apply the self-perspective setting for a 3D effect.
2. Centering Play Icons: I demonstrate how to center play icons using absolute positioning and margin offset to ensure they are perfectly aligned.
3. Polishing Borders: I discuss adding subtle opacity and box shadows to borders, improving the visual quality of the card edges.
4. Depth with Drop Shadows: I explain how to add drop shadows to create depth, making the cards appear more layered and interesting.
5. Mouse Movement Interaction: I illustrate how to use mouse X and Y movements to create a dynamic and interactive 3D effect on the cards.
6. Lighting and Reflection: I describe how to simulate light and reflection using a simple circle with blur, enhancing the 3D illusion.
7. Combining Effects: I detail the process of combining these effects to create a cohesive and visually appealing design.
8. Real-time Adjustments: I emphasize the importance of experimenting with different settings in real-time to see what works best.
9. Practical Applications: I highlight potential applications of these techniques in web design projects to engage users.
10. Final Touches: I conclude with final adjustments and polish to ensure the cards look professional and polished.
