skylines
[Sep 5, 2009]
3D clouds moving towards you.
It's actually one large image of clouds. To achieve the 3D effect, a separate IMG tag is created for each line of the visible picture. Then the first line is stretched a lot, the next a little less, and so on. To scroll the clouds the offset of the image within the line is altered.
Although Google's Chrome browser is one of the quickest and takes the least amount of system resources, when playing around with images (like stretching them) Chrome is probably the slowest browser and takes the most system resources. Therefore, this effect doesn't work in Chrome very well.
