In recent trends I've seen people animating CSS sprites using JavaScript instead of using animated GIFs?
Ex:
- http://www.google.com/doodles/eadweard-j-muybridges-182nd-birthday (in fact, Google used this technique in other Doodles too)
- https://everyme.com/ ('me' logo)
- and many more...
Is that all just to show or experiment with technology or are there any benefits out of it. I m interested in knowing the benefits, if there. The reason I m asking is that I couldn't figure out as in both cases we need to generate the intermediate frames (mostly using tweening technique).
