45 CSS Cubes

Dive into the world of pure CSS 3D with our CSS Cubes collection, which emphasizes complex geometric models and functionality. The demos focus on technical optimization: how to create effects like a “sinking” or “climbing” cube with a minimal number of elements, and how CSS Grid is used to form a “Cube Grid”. You’ll see how the 3D cube effect is applied to sliders, animated loaders, and even for accurately recreating iconic logos or dice.

3D Cube Resume with CSS Transforms

A complex 3D navigation for a resume is achieved using pure CSS/JS, where each cube face is a section; this is a powerful display of UX/UI creativity and animation skills.

A complex SVG animation - the cube’s morphing is achieved by animating the d attribute of a <path> tag with a custom keySplines function. The efficient structure with <use> and <pattern> creates a “scene-in-a-scene” effect due to the nested animation of elements within the fill.

Climbing Cubeexternal link

An illusion of an endlessly rolling 3D cube, achieved by synchronizing two @keyframes animations for rotation and sliding with an offset transform-origin. The complex rotation animation uses intermediate steps for a “bounce” effect, while a neon glow and -webkit-box-reflect complete the futuristic look.
