<h3>Entrance Animations via CSS class</h3>
<p>If you don’t use Elementor or Gutenberg blocks, you can still use AnimateGL via CSS classes. Add one of preset entrance animations or custom entrance animation to any element on the page by adding the animation CSS class.</p>
<p>More animations available with <a href="https://codecanyon.net/item/animategl-animations-for-wordpress-entrance-pack/45375689?s=org" rel="nofollow ugc">Entrance pack</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Circle (CSS)</li>
<li>Square (CSS)</li>
<li>Line (CSS)</li>
</ul>
<p>Customize direction, duration, easing and delay for each animations</p>
<p>Customize animation properties via CSS class:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fade – with options for directional fade and threshold</li>
<li>Translate – with options for x, y, and z direction</li>
<li>Rotation – with options for x, y, and z axis</li>
<li>Corners Distortion – for added animation variety</li>
<li>Duration – customize the length of the animation</li>
<li>Delay – customize the start time of the animation</li>
<li>Easing – customize the speed and flow of the animation</li>
</ul>
<h3>Repeat</h3>
<p>By default, entrance animation will play when element enters the viewport for the first time. With option repeat enabled, the animation will play each time element enters the viewport.</p>
<h3>Lock to scrollbar</h3>
<p>Instead of fixed duration entrance animation, we can make the animation progress depend on the scroll position of the element. If the element is below the viewport, the animation progress will be 0. As we scroll the page down, and element is moving towards the middle of the viewport, the animation progresses. The end of animation is when element reches the middle of the viewport. Lock to scrollbar option can be enabled for any animation.</p>
<h3>Mouse Effects</h3>
<p>AnimateGL also offers mouse-driven distortion effects, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pull – with options for strength, size, RGB shift, and ease</li>
</ul>
<h3>Scroll triggered animations</h3>
<p>Entrance animation is played when when the element enters the viewport, when it becomes visible on the screen.</p>
<h3>Viewport entrance threshold</h3>
<p>By default, entrance animation start to play when 70% or 200px of the element enters the viewport.</p>
<h3>Live Editor</h3>
<p>Use live editor to create your custom entrance animation.</p>
<p>Enhance the visual appeal of your website with AnimateGL, the most powerful and advanced WebGL animation plugin for WordPress. With its lightweight 33kb gzipped size and no dependencies, AnimateGL is fast, easy to use, and the perfect choice for web designers looking to add unique animations to their website.</p>
