Interactive Web Animation with SVG
summary
Shows actual techniques not vague promises: exports SVG from Illustrator or Inkscape, cleans markup, groups layers to get IDs, and animates with GreenSock (GSAP) v3 using plugins like drawSVG and motionPath so timelines chain reliably and file size halves from v2. Demonstrates interactive demos on CodePen — a NeoPet that cheers via Web Audio and works, a chameleon that samples a 4×4 canvas for average color, and a prototype using the face detection API (Chrome flag required) and webcam. Also cites a live solar panel demo reporting 4.5 trees worth of CO2 saved.
