Transform3D animations sample

Shows how Transform3D can be used to create custom 3D animations and transitions in XAML apps.

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

Specifically, two effects are demonstrated in this sample:

• 3D rotation animation: In the main page for this app, the columns are animated with a custom 3D rotation animation when content changes, including a 3D shadowing effect. See the SectionView class for an implementation of this effect.
• 3D staggered zoom animation: When the user navigates to a specific item, a staggered zoom effect is used to announce the entrance of content. The ArticlePage class demonstrates how to create this effect.

Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio 2017 to build and Windows 10 to execute.
