I'm experimenting with Framer Motion for the first time and trying to create a 3D card effect. The card is supposed to have a dynamic 3D rotation based on mouse movement.
Here's my issue: when the page first loads, the card doesn't render correctly (see screenshot below).
However, once I move my mouse over the card and then move it out (triggering mouseleave
), the card snaps to the correct position.
Here's the code I'm using:
import React, { useRef, useEffect } from 'react';
import { motion, useMotionValue, useTransform, useSpring } from 'framer-motion';
const Card3D = () => {
const cardRef = useRef(null);
const glareRef = useRef(null);
const x = useMotionValue(0);
const y = useMotionValue(0);
const glareX = useMotionValue(0);
const glareY = useMotionValue(0);
const rotateY = useTransform(x, [0, 820], [20, -20])
const rotateX = useTransform(y, [0, 420], [-20, 20])
const rotateYSpring = useSpring(rotateY)
const rotateXSpring = useSpring(rotateX)
useEffect(() => {
if (cardRef.current) {
const cardRect = cardRef.current.getBoundingClientRect();
x.set(cardRect.width);
y.set(cardRect.height);
}
}, []);
return (
<motion.div className='w-[800px] aspect-card2 rounded-32 relative overflow-hidden cursor-pointer'
onMouseMove={(e) => {
if (!cardRef.current || !glareRef.current) return;
const cardRect = cardRef.current.getBoundingClientRect();
const glareRect = glareRef.current.getBoundingClientRect();
x.set(e.clientX - cardRect.left);
y.set(e.clientY - cardRect.top);
glareX.set(e.clientX - cardRect.left - glareRect.width / 2);
glareY.set(e.clientY - cardRect.top - glareRect.height / 2);
}}
onMouseLeave={() => {
if (!cardRef.current || !glareRef.current) return;
const cardRect = cardRef.current.getBoundingClientRect();
x.set(cardRect.width / 2);
y.set(cardRect.height / 2);
glareX.set(-2000);
glareY.set(-2000);
}}

I tried setting initial values for x and y based on cardRef.current
to position the card correctly at the start. I also experimented with different values for these initial positions, but nothing seems to change the initial rendering issue. I expected the card to be in the correct position on load, but it only positions correctly after hovering and then leaving the card.
Does anyone know why the card isn't rendering correctly on initial load and how I can fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Try this solution: First, set the initial values to the center of the card, assuming a width of 800px and a height of 420px. Then, on mouseleave, also set these values as follows: x.set(400); and y.set(210);`
import React, { useRef, useEffect } from 'react';
import { motion, useMotionValue, useTransform, useSpring } from 'framer-motion';
const Card3D = () => {
const cardRef = useRef(null);
const glareRef = useRef(null);
// Initial values to center of card assuming width 800px and height 420px
const x = useMotionValue(400);
const y = useMotionValue(210);
const glareX = useMotionValue(-2000); // Initially set offscreen
const glareY = useMotionValue(-2000); // Initially set offscreen
const rotateY = useTransform(x, [0, 800], [20, -20]);
const rotateX = useTransform(y, [0, 420], [-20, 20]);
const rotateYSpring = useSpring(rotateY);
const rotateXSpring = useSpring(rotateX);
return (
<motion.div
className="w-[800px] aspect-card2 rounded-32 relative overflow-hidden cursor-pointer"
onMouseMove={(e) => {
if (!cardRef.current || !glareRef.current) return;
const cardRect = cardRef.current.getBoundingClientRect();
const glareRect = glareRef.current.getBoundingClientRect();
x.set(e.clientX - cardRect.left);
y.set(e.clientY - cardRect.top);
glareX.set(e.clientX - cardRect.left - glareRect.width / 2);
glareY.set(e.clientY - cardRect.top - glareRect.height / 2);
}}
onMouseLeave={() => {
if (!cardRef.current || !glareRef.current) return;
// Reset to exact center of the card
const cardRect = cardRef.current.getBoundingClientRect();
x.set(400);
y.set(210);
glareX.set(-2000);
glareY.set(-2000);
