That’s an image, so I would say [Pixelmator / Affinity Photo / Illustrator / Sketch]?

But in Hype, you can do this with regular circles and opacity:

I think he wants the falling confetti effects, no?

yeah it was the falling effect not possible then?

Do a simple motion path and change the X and Y Angles in Rotation Menu on Metrics Inspector. See the file.

Cheer Thiago
is it possible using JS or CSS instead of making lots of symbols

I know nothing about JS :sweat:

I hope someone shows up to help you :wink:

Check out this thread. It relates to snowfall but confetti isn’t hugely different. I have not delved into it too deeply but You can control the effect to some degree. I did not see any color control and the filter effects does not colorize it. But it could be a starting point (or if white confetti does the job you’re set).

Here is @h_classen’s Hype demo from that thread using “snowfall.min.js” library:

EDIT: Google “three.js particle effects” - this looks promising - but no experience with it.

I am trying to get this confetti i found on codepen to work in Hype without using an HTML-Widget. I am struggling.

Anyone who knows how this could be done? :blush:

10

you've added Jquery (like in the source) and an element with class wrapper?

11

I am not a developer, so my skills if quite low when it comes to this kind of things :thinking:

Also I would like the confetti to stop after 30 seconds, but I dont know how to do that :disappointed:

The basic steps would be:

  1. Choose Edit Head HTML… in the Document Inspector and add jquery:
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
  2. While in the Head HTML, add CSS for the confetti. You can remove the body and wrapper parts:
    <style>

[class|=confetti] {
  position: absolute;
}

.red {
  background-color: #d13447;
}

.yellow {
  background-color: #ffbf00;
}

.blue {
  background-color: #263672;
}
</style>
  3. In the Scene Inspector, add an On Scene Load action to Run JavaScript… with this code:
    var maxDurationInSeconds = 30;
var startTime = Date.now();
	
for (var i = 0; i < 150; i++) {
  create(i);
}

function create(i) {
  var width = Math.random() * 8;
  var height = width * 0.4;
  var colourIdx = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 3);
  var colour = "red";
  switch(colourIdx) {
    case 1:
      colour = "yellow";
      break;
    case 2:
      colour = "blue";
      break;
    default:
      colour = "red";
  }
  $('<div class="confetti-'+i+' '+colour+'"></div>').css({
    "width" : width+"px",
    "height" : height+"px",
    "top" : -Math.random()*20+"%",
    "left" : Math.random()*100+"%",
    "opacity" : Math.random()+0.5,
    "transform" : "rotate("+Math.random()*360+"deg)"
  }).appendTo('.wrapper');  
  
  drop(i);
}

function drop(x) {
  $('.confetti-'+x).animate({
    top: "100%",
    left: "+="+Math.random()*15+"%"
  }, Math.random()*2000 + 2000, function() {
    reset(x);
  });
}

function reset(x) {
  $('.confetti-'+x).animate({
    "top" : -Math.random()*20+"%",
    "left" : "-="+Math.random()*15+"%"
  }, 0, function() {
  	if(Date.now() - startTime < (maxDurationInSeconds * 1000)) {
	    drop(x);             
	}
  });
}
    (note that I mad a modification so that it will only fall for 30 seconds. You can adjust that duration via the first line)
  4. Go back to the scene and add a Rectangle Element. Remove all styling (like border or background color that you don't want).
  5. With that rectangle selected, in the Identity Inspector give it a Class Name of "wrapper".
  6. Optionally go to the Metrics Inspector and set the Content Overflow to hidden so the confetti doesn't exceed the bounds of the rectangle
  7. Finally Uncheck Protect from External Styles in the Document Inspector so the CSS applies

Then it should rain confetti for ~30 seconds.

Looks great, only when I export it as .mp4 the confetti falls in super speed...

I've tried a lot, but I can't slow it down...is there a solution..or is it only for html?

Make sure, the Main Timeline runs for a while (e.g. by setting a timeline action at - let's say - 10 seconds).

hmm..i aint seeing a difference..the timeline was 10 sec and I tried 30 and 60sec, but the confetti is still the same speed. ( I do most of my hype in images and timeline...Im not familiar with coding...trying, but so difficult )

Don´t know, what exactly you are doing in your Hype file (always a good idea, to sent en example file...) But this works for me...

Thanks again, your hype works perfect..but im must make a 1080x1920 version..when I change the measurements to it...and export as a .mp4 the confetti goes fast again ;-(

Well, since I´m not familiar with this code... There´s are a bunch of adjusting-screws to fine-tune the animation. So I just played around...

Here you can adjust the sice of the confetti pieces:

	function create(i) {
	  var width = Math.random() * 16;
	  var height = width * 1.2;

(Previous code: function create(i) {
var width = Math.random() * 8;
var height = width * 0.4;

And this seems to be the part, where you can adjust the speed:

	function drop(x) {
	  $('.confetti-'+x).animate({
	    top: "100%",
	    left: "+="+Math.random()*15+"%"
	  }, Math.random()*8000 + 2000, function() {
	    reset(x);
	  });
	}

Previous Code: function drop(x) {
$('.confetti-'+x).animate({
top: "100%",
left: "+="+Math.random()*15+"%"
}, Math.random()*2000 + 2000, function() {
reset(x);
});
}

So, just play around. You can´t destroy anything... For a detailed guide on how to customize this code to meet your needs, it might be best to consult with @jonathan
