In creative coding and animation, we can implement many different kinds of visuals. Instead of drawing particles as circle shapes with code, we can use a sprite sheet and make each particle one of the randomised star drawings. These more complex star shapes can also be drawn with code and I showed you how to do it before, but it's always more performance efficient to have a ready made image, rather than make JavaScript calculate and draw all these shapes over and over.
We want smooth fast animation, so we should always try to make JavaScript do as little work as possible. Let me show you a very simple and easy way how to use sprite sheets with your particle effects.

Create beautiful particle systems with HTML5, CSS3 and plain vanilla JavaScript, no frameworks and no libraries. Understanding how the code works will allow us to transform this codebase into multiple very different effects. Let's explore the basic techniques and then take them to the limits in this particle effects crash course.

![CSS Filters - SVG Turbulence Filter Animation [ CSS3 Creative Menu Hover Effects ] Squigglevision](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lisZT8JIeKk/mqdefault.jpg "CSS Filters - SVG Turbulence Filter Animation [ CSS3 Creative Menu Hover Effects ] Squigglevision
Lets take a look at CSS filters, specifically SVG turbulence animation (and displacement map) which apply perlin noise effect to any HTML element. It can also be applied to HTML canvas so you can try to combine it with any of the canvas effects we created in previous videos. Lets create really cool CSS3 creative menu hover effects also known as Squigglevision.
I have used CSS filters before to create sticky liquid effect. To achieve that we first blur the elements and then we apply strong contrast to make the famous flowing goo effect.
Today I will show you how to rapidly iterate between 5 distortion states using turbulence and displacement map inline SVG filters and how to tweak the effect to create your own variations
There is a patented cartoon animation technique called Squigglevision and we will recreate it with CSS. It was used for shows like Dr Katz and it is a computer animation style, that is supposed to remind viewer of hand drawn animation sketches. It is characteristic by shaking squiggly lines even when the characters are standing still.
Squigglevision cartoon technique is much faster to produce than hand drawn animation, because its made using computer. The shaking lines are done by looping 5 slighly different images over and over.
