Having fun with perspective in CSS

Something I'm really not familiar with is CSS, and I must say that since I started this website I'm starting to understand the complexity of the subject..

I've decided to try using TailwindCSS to help me styling my website.

3D Perspective

The other day I found this tweet from @CodyWebHouse

And wanted to try it out myself.

I created a ProfilePicture component:

export default function ProfilePicture () {
  return (
    <figure className={styles.imageContainer}>
      <Image
        src="/images/profile.png"
        alt="m4nu56"
        layout="fill"
        quality={100}
      />
    </figure>
  )
}

And applied the same CSS rules as indicated in the tweet:

.figureCentered {
  @apply text-center;
}
.imageContainer {
  @apply w-56 h-56;
  perspective: 1500px;
  @apply mx-auto;
  img {
    @apply rounded-full;
    transform: rotate(0);
    transition: .3s;
  }
  &:hover img {
    transform: rotateX(15deg) rotateY(-18deg) rotateZ(3deg);
  }
}

And Tada! Try and move your mouse over the image to see it rotate to the position I indicated in the transition
