CSS Trick! ⚡️ You can create gradient borders by using transparent borders 👀 No extra elements 🤙 article { background: // layer them up with different origin! linear-gradient(var(--bg), var(--bg)) padding-box, var(--gradient) border-box; border: 4px solid transparent; } The trick is to layer background images using different background-origin ⭐️ Then use a transparent border to define how thick the border is! padding-box positions a background relative to an element's padding. border-box positions a background relative to the border-box 🔥 The ✨magic✨ part? You get that nested radius for free 😅 Check out the exploded view in the video and have a play with different values in the demo 🎞️ CodePen.IO link below! 👇

🎓Learn how to create a powerful Dynamic Embers smart material in a matter of seconds, in my latest video series (AAA) Pro Tips! This smart material can be used on virtually any 3D asset. ___________________________________________________ In this video, the steps are as follows: 1. Create a fill layer to then apply the base maps for our asset into it. 2. Bake out the world space, AO, Curvature, and Position maps. These maps will be crucial for the smart material to function. Also, be sure to add an emissive channel to the project. 3. Next, create another fill layer labeled (Fire animation gradient) with a black mask and inside the mask apply a paint layer. Select the paint layer and paint a simple pill shape using a soft brush. Add an anchorpoint to the mask and disable all channels in this fill layer. 4. Create a folder labeled (embers smart material) and set it to pass through. Add a paint layer inside this folder and set it to pass through as well followed by an anchorpoint. 5. Create another fill layer and apply the paint layers anchorpoint information into its color channel. From here an HSL filter should be added to desaturate and darken the colors. 6. Next, create an additional fill layer with an orange-colored emissive channel. Add a black mask to this fill layer and inside its mask apply a dirt generator. This will give us the illusion of the embers glowing from inside the charred tree. Duplicate this fill layer and tweak its emissive color to a yellowish hue and reduce its mask amount. Do this a second time but with a white-colored emissive channel. This will now create an effect of the embers appearing brighter the deeper they are inside the tree. 7. Lastly, add these layers into a folder with a black mask and apply the (Fire Animation Gradient) anchorpoint into its mask via a fill layer. Now we have a charred embers effect wherever we paint using the paint layer created inside the gradient mask! This gradient mask can also be exported into Unreal engine to create some stunning real-time dynamic animations or the new material can simply be used for in-engine vertex painting. ____________________________________________________ More AAA Game Dev Tips can be found on my YouTube channel here: Stay tuned for more weekly Tips!

$CSS Tip! 🤙 You can use mask-composite and some JavaScript to create this pointer proximity following glow border ✨ .glow { mask-composite: intersect; mask-clip: padding-box, border-box; mask: linear-gradient(#0000, #0000), conic-gradient(#0000 0deg, #fff, #0000 45deg); } The trick is to mask a background-image with a combination of mask layers. mask-composite: intersect; means the mask used will be the intersection of the layers 🔥 use source-in, xor; in browsers that don't support intersect; In this demo, you can use pseudoelements and rely on scoped custom properties to do a lot of the heavy lifting for you 🙌 Once you've masked the background, you need to update the starting angle of the conic-gradient on pointermove 👆 You can work that out by getting the center point of each card and then calculating the angle between that and the pointer with Math.atan2 🤓 let ANGLE = Math.atan2( event?.y - CARD_CENTER[1], event?.x - CARD_CENTER[0] ) * 180 / Math.PI ANGLE = ANGLE < 0 ? ANGLE + 360 : ANGLE; CARD.style.setProperty('--start', ANGLE + 90) You plug that into your conic-gradient mask as a custom property accounting for --spread ⚡️ conic-gradient(from calc((var(--angle) - (var(--spread) * 0.5)) * 1deg), #000 0deg, #fff, #0000 calc(var(--spread) * 1deg)); To get the blur, you apply a blur to the glow container on each card 🤙 .glows { filter: blur(calc(var(--blur) * 1px); } That's it! Layers of masks that are clipped and composited before being blurred 😎 The added trick is to fade each one in when the pointer is in the defined proximity of the card. For example, don't show unless within 100px of a card. You can see that in the video. Check out the JavaScript code for that 🫶 Couldn't resist making this one 😁 CodePen.IO link below! 👇$

Engineers with taste will make a lot of so-called designers irrelevant. It’s 2026. With all the vibe-coding tools we have now, you can build real working prototypes of almost anything in a few hours. So when I see another “iOS 27 concept” that is just a Figma screenshot with a gradient or a circular one, and some fake Liquid Glass layer on top, that’s laziness at the next level for the sake of engagement.

CSS Trick! ⭐️ You can create this sparkly backdrop with a single element using mask-composite whilst animating the mask-position 😷 .canvas { background: var(--gradient); mask: var(--dots), var(--noise); mask-composite: intersect /* source-in, xor */; animation: flicker; } @keyframes flicker { to { mask-position: 50% 50% , 0 50%; } } The trick is to layer the masks and then use the intersect value on the mask-composite ✨ Intersect works as it would in SVG by combining the masks and taking their intersection. The dots mask is a basic radial-gradient that is repeated across the element: mask: radial-gradient(circle at 50% 50%, white 2px, transparent 2.5px) 50% 50% / 40px 40px; The noise mask is a generated image of Perlin Noise (h/t to JohnPhamous for finding the site for that). That becomes the second mask: mask: url("noise.png") 50% 50% / 256px 256px; Once they are intersected. The last piece is to animate the mask-position as shown above 👆 Have a play with the demo and see what you think! CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Trick! 🤙 You can create gradient borders on translucent elements using mask-clip and mask-composite with a pseudo-element 🔥 .gradient-border::after { mask-clip: padding-box, border-box; mask-composite: intersect; mask: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent), linear-gradient(white, white); } It's the same "Transparent border trick" from before. But, now you apply it to a pseudo-element 😎 The trick is to create a pseudo-element with a gradient background and then mask it so we only see the part we want, the border ✨ mask-clip defines the area affected by a mask. Similar to how you can define background-size. Using padding-box and border-box constrains the two masks. mask-composite is the magic part ✨ It defines a compositing operation for stacked mask layers. Using intersect means that the parts that overlap get replaced. And this seems to work in all browsers 🙌 As for the rest of the styles... – Make sure you set pointer-events: none on the pseudo-element – Make sure it fills the parent element. You can use position: absolute and inset: 0 – Make sure the background fills the space including the border-width. You can use calc to achieve that: --bg-size: calc(100% + (2px * var(--border))); background: var(--gradient) center center / var(--bg-size) var(--bg-size); That's it! 🚀 Gradient borders on translucent elements. You can set all the backdrop-filter: blur() you like! 😅 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

A designer who can ship code is one of the most valuable hires in tech today. Here's my new episode with Felix Lee (CEO of ADPList) where he showed me how to use Claude Code and Figma MCP to go from: ✅ Figma → Code: Design to website in 15 min ✅ Code → Figma: App back to editable design Felix also demoed a few apps he's designed and built in Claude Code, including a 3D globe website and a landing page analyzer. Some takeaways from Felix: 1. Stop pasting screenshots into Claude Code. Instead, use Figma MCP to pull in all your assets, icons, and images automatically. 2. You can use the same MCP to convert code back into editable Figma layers to explore more variations. 3. An underrated way to build: Use FigJam to plan a flowchart of your app first, then paste the link into Claude Code with the MCP. 📌 Watch now: Thanks to our sponsors: Replit ⠕: Plan, design, and build with AI agents Linear: The AI agent platform for modern teams
