Interactive Mouse Movement Background Video Cloneable by Jakob Wrs

https://showcased.webflow.io/projects/interactive-halo-background

This is a very custom and advanced video background cloneable that uses Three.js and Vanta.js to make this crazy halo effect that follows your mouse movement.

Using this is as simple as copying a few lines of code, adding it before </body> tag and typing in your element class inside el: "#your-element-selector" line. That’s all there is to it! 

Vanta.js made it as no-code, custom code tool as it gets.

This cloneable takes video background to the next level. Because it’s not actually a video, now is it? It’s a smart animation on Webflow? Something like that! Best part? Because this effect comes from Vanta.js library of effects, you can select different effects and control colours, intensity or most other parameters before you extract the custom code you will be using.

What is in this background video?

Custom code interactive mouse movement animation built with Javascript library - check Vanta.js for more info. Check this cloneable if you are seeking a truly advanced way to work with background videos and animations. 

What is this interactive background video/animation best for?

  • Developers that are looking for a way to work with Three.js and Webflow
  • Developers that seek inspiration when it comes to custom code websites
  • Webflow designers that are always afraid of “custom code” - this might be the perfect library to get yourself familiar with what you can do with code (even if you don’t know code)
Pros Cons
✅ Beautiful and mesmerising to look at (with a dash of trippy) ❌ Even though using this is as simple as copying a few lines of code, adding it before tag and typing in your element class… Some animations are quite limiting in what you can do with them and will not match any project.
✅ Uses Vanta.js which is a great library of different animated website backgrounds that can be used with a few lines of code

Bottom line:

😎 Use this background animation Javascript library if you are looking for a way to wow your clients or website visitors. Custom code backgrounds even if you have no idea how to code!
