Twitter for iPad implements a fancy "pinch to expand paper fold" effect. A short video clip here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0TuPsNJ-XY
Can this be done with CATransform3D
without OpenGL? A working example would be thankful.
Update: I was interested in the approach or implementation to this animation effect. That's why I offered bounty on this question - srikar
Here's a really simple example using a gesture recognizer and CATransform3D
to get you started. Simply pinch to rotate the gray view.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
// ...
CGRect rect = self.window.bounds;
view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(rect.size.width/4, rect.size.height/4,
rect.size.width/2, rect.size.height/2)];
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
[self.window addSubview:view];
CATransform3D transform = CATransform3DIdentity;
transform.m34 = -1/500.0; // this allows perspective
self.window.layer.sublayerTransform = transform;
UIPinchGestureRecognizer *rec = [[UIPinchGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self
action:@selector(pinch:)];
[self.window addGestureRecognizer:rec];
[rec release];
return YES;
}
- (void)pinch:(UIPinchGestureRecognizer *)rec
{
CATransform3D t = CATransform3DIdentity;
t = CATransform3DTranslate(t, 0, -self.view.bounds.size.height/2, 0);
t = CATransform3DRotate(t, rec.scale * M_PI, 1, 0, 0);
t = CATransform3DTranslate(t, 0, -self.view.bounds.size.height/2, 0);
self.view.layer.transform = t;
}
