BGEffects.PerspectiveEffect

The BGEffects.PerspectiveEffect animates background images of nested containers using differents speeds, which creates an illusion of perspective (aka parallax effect).

new BGEffects.PerspectiveEffect($('.perspectiveDemo'), {
	increment	: 1, 	// Differential increment between layers
	loop		: true	// Loop animation forever!
});

BGEffects.POVEffect

The BGEffects.POVEffect is an extension of BGEffects.PerspectiveEffect, which enables point of view through mouse position tracking. Move the mouse within the container to change animation direction and speed.

new BGEffects.POVEffect($('.povDemo'), {
	increment	: 1, 	// Differential increment between layers
	loop		: true	// Loop animation forever!
});
