Animating Background Gradient

At a glance

The community members are discussing how to create an animated background gradient effect. They suggest using JavaScript or CSS keyframe animations to achieve the desired cycling or transitioning effect. Some community members recommend using a shader generator tool like Unicorn Studio for more complex effects. One community member provides an example CSS code to create a gradient animation, but is having trouble getting it to work. The community is still exploring different options to implement the animated gradient effect.

Is there a way to make the background gradient animated so that it keeps cycling .... to give some dynamic effect?

Animation engine is in the works

if you want complex effects you would need to use a shader generator

OOleg Isonen

like https://unicorn.studio/

OOleg Isonen

or any other, there are a bunch of generators if you google

another optino is to control it with CSS, would be a much simpler effect, but you could write a bunch of keyframes and control the effect with css variables

Need one example for the CSS one .. simple is cool. I'm getting stuck figuring it out why this isnt working

Plain Text

#box {
  background: linear-gradient(-45deg, #ee7752, #e73c7e, #23a6d5, #23d5ab);
  background-size: 120% 120%;
  animation: gradient 15s ease infinite;    
}

/* Define keyframes for gradient animation */
@keyframes gradient {
  0% {
    background-position: 0% 50%;
  }
  50% {
    background-position: 100% 50%;
  }
  100% {
    background-position: 0% 50%;
  }
}
