CSS scale3d() Function
The CSS scale3d() function is used within the
transform property, and defines a 3D scaling of
an element along the x, y, and z-axes at a given degree.
Note: To activate a 3D space, the element needs perspective. Without perspective, any 3D transforms will look flat and two-dimensional.
Example
Use scale3d() to scale several <div> elements:
.container {
perspective: 500px; /* Creates the 3D space */
}
.box1 {
transform: scale3d(0.8, 0.8, 0.8);
}
.box2 {
transform: scale3d(-0.5, -0.5, -0.5);
}
.box3 {
transform:
scale3d(1.1, 1.2, 1);
}
