How to use CSS to achieve a more three-dimensional shadow effect? The following article will talk about the advanced CSS shadows and introduce how to use CSS to achieve three-dimensional shadow effects. I hope it will be helpful to everyone!
#The existence of CSS shadow makes objects look more three-dimensional. [Recommended learning: css video tutorial]
However, on top of the simplest use of shadows, we can achieve more interesting and more three-dimensional shadow effects.
CSS Shadow Basics
In CSS, there are three properties that can implement shadows on the surface:
- box-shadow - box shadow
- text-shadow - text shadow
- filter: drop-shaodw() - shadow within the filter
Not much about their basic syntax and usage Description, you can complete this part on MDN first and post a few pictures for a quick review:
box-shadow - Box shadow:
text- shadow - Text shadow:
filter: drop-shaodw() - Shadow within the filter:
Basic The above three shadows are similar. What needs to be noted is:
-
box-shadow
also differentiates between inner shadows, which are described using the keywordinset
; -
box-shadow
One more shadow diffusion radius parameter.
Long projection
As mentioned above, the three-dimensional shadow of text can be achieved through multi-layer shadow superposition. It can also be used on containers such as divs. Of course, there is another interesting method here. Suppose we have a rectangular element and want to add a long shadow to it, like the following:
To generate this kind of long shadow, the multi-layer shadow just mentioned can be added , and then use the two pseudo-elements of the element. In fact, the above picture is like this:
The key point is that we use transform on the two pseudo-elements : skew()
Transformation and background color change from solid color to transparent color achieve the effect of long shadow:

Stereoscopic Projection
Okay, let’s continue. The next topic is Stereoscopic Projection.
This statement is very strange. The purpose of shadows is to make the original elements look more three-dimensional. So what kind of three-dimensional method is the so-called three-dimensional projection here?
The so-called stereoscopic projection here does not necessarily use box-shadow
, text-shadow
or drop-shadow
, but We use other elements or attributes to simulate the element's shadow. The purpose of this is to break through some of the positioning limitations of box-shadow
elements. Make the position, size, and blur of the shadow more flexible.
OK, let’s take a look at such an element. We hope to make it more three-dimensional by customizing the position of the shadow:
div above It just uses a very shallow box-shadow
, which seems to have nothing to do with the three-dimensional. Next, we use the pseudo element of the div to generate a shape similar to the corner shape of the original Lets talk about how to use CSS to achieve a more three-dimensional shadow effect than ordinary shadows!, and then use Shift the transform, it might look like this:
OK. Finally, apply some blur effect (filter or box-shadow is acceptable) to the element generated with pseudo elements, and it will look like this: You can achieve a three-dimensional effect where the corners look like they have been torn apart:
The code is very simple, the pseudo-CSS code is as follows:
div { position: relative; width: 600px; height: 100px; background: hsl(48, 100%, 50%); border-radius: 20px; } div::before { content: ""; position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 5%; right: 5%; bottom: 0; border-radius: 10px; background: hsl(48, 100%, 20%); transform: translate(0, -15%) rotate(-4deg); transform-origin: center center; box-shadow: 0 0 20px 15px hsl(48, 100%, 20%); }
So to summarize :
- 立体投影的关键点在于利于伪元素生成一个大小与父元素相近的元素,然后对其进行 rotate 以及定位到合适位置,再赋于阴影操作
- 颜色的运用也很重要,阴影的颜色通常比本身颜色要更深,这里使用 hsl 表示颜色更容易操作,l 控制颜色的明暗度
还有其他很多场景,都可以用类似的技巧实现:

浮雕阴影
还有一类立体效果的阴影就是浮雕阴影,它的本质还是 box-shadow
和 text-shadow
,只是需要控制好颜色的配合以及内外阴影的一起使用。核心就是 2 点:
背景色与内容(文本或者盒子颜色)一致
使用两个相反的方向,使用两组对比明显的颜色值,来实现凹凸效果。
首先,我们来看一个文字版的浮雕效果。
先实现一个凸起的效果,我们需要实现一个背景色和文字色一样的文字:
<div>浮雕阴影</div>
body { background: #999; } div { color: #999; }
效果如下,由于背景色和文字色的颜色一样,所以我们什么都看不到。
不过没事,我们给文字添加一个 1px
x、y 方向的黑色阴影:
div { color: #999; text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #000; }
效果如下:
有点感觉了,再反向,也就是 -1px
x、y 方向添加一个黑色相对,也就白色的阴影:
div { color: #999; text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #000, -1px -1px 1px #fff; }
效果如下,这样我们就得到了一个凸起质感的浮雕阴影:
如果我们把颜色对调一下呢?
div { color: #999; text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #fff, -1px -1px 1px #000; }
就能很轻松的得到凹下质感的浮雕阴影:

新拟态风格阴影
我们将运用在文字上的技巧,扩展延伸到容器上,就能得到最近比较火的拟态风格阴影,其原理也是大同小异。
两个阴影,使用两个相反的方向,使用两组对比明显的颜色值,来实现凹凸效果。与文字不同的是,这里的凹效果,我们需要使用盒子的内阴影实现。
<div>浮雕阴影</div> <div>浮雕阴影</div>
div { width: 120px; height: 120px; background: #e9ecef; color: #333; box-shadow: 7px 7px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4), -7px -7px 12px rgba(255, 255, 255, .9); } div:nth-child(2) { box-shadow: inset -7px -7px 12px rgba(255, 255, 255, .9), inset 7px 7px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4); }
这样,就可以得到拟态风格的按钮,如下图所示,左凸右凹:
再通过一个简单的过渡,就可以实现整个点击的交互:
div { transition: .2s all; box-shadow: 7px 7px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4), -7px -7px 12px rgba(255, 255, 255, .9), inset 0 0 0x rgba(255, 255, 255, .9), inset 0 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .4); &:active { box-shadow: 0 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .4), 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, .9), inset -7px -7px 12px rgba(255, 255, 255, .9), inset 7px 7px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, .4); } }
看看效果:
文字立体投影 / 文字长阴影
上面的立体效果在文字上就完全不适用了,所以对待文字的立体阴影效果,还需要另辟蹊径。
正常而言,我们使用 text-shadow 来生成文字阴影,像这样:
<div> Txt Shadow</div> ----- div { text-shadow: 6px 6px 3px hsla(14, 100%, 30%, 1); }
嗯,挺好的,就是不够立体。那么要做到立体文字阴影,最常见的方法就是使用多层文字阴影叠加。
Tips:和box-shadow
一样,text-shadow
是可以叠加多层的!但是对于单个元素而言,drop-shadow
的话就只能是一层。
好,上面的文字,我们试着叠加个 50 层文字阴影试一下。额,50 层手写,其实很快的~
好吧,手写真的太慢了,还容易出错,所以这里我们需要借助一下 SASS/LESS 帮忙,写一个生成 50 层阴影的 function
就好,我们每向右和向下偏移 1px,生成一层 text-shadow:
@function makeLongShadow($color) { $val: 0px 0px $color; @for $i from 1 through 50 { $val: #{$val}, #{$i}px #{$i}px #{$color}; } @return $val; } div { text-shadow: makeLongShadow(hsl(14, 100%, 30%)); }
上面的 SCSS 代码。经过编译后,就会生成如下 CSS:
div { text-shadow: 0px 0px #992400, 1px 1px #992400, 2px 2px #992400, 3px 3px #992400, 4px 4px #992400, 5px 5px #992400, 6px 6px #992400, 7px 7px #992400, 8px 8px #992400, 9px 9px #992400, 10px 10px #992400, 11px 11px #992400, 12px 12px #992400, 13px 13px #992400, 14px 14px #992400, 15px 15px #992400, 16px 16px #992400, 17px 17px #992400, 18px 18px #992400, 19px 19px #992400, 20px 20px #992400, 21px 21px #992400, 22px 22px #992400, 23px 23px #992400, 24px 24px #992400, 25px 25px #992400, 26px 26px #992400, 27px 27px #992400, 28px 28px #992400, 29px 29px #992400, 30px 30px #992400, 31px 31px #992400, 32px 32px #992400, 33px 33px #992400, 34px 34px #992400, 35px 35px #992400, 36px 36px #992400, 37px 37px #992400, 38px 38px #992400, 39px 39px #992400, 40px 40px #992400, 41px 41px #992400, 42px 42px #992400, 43px 43px #992400, 44px 44px #992400, 45px 45px #992400, 46px 46px #992400, 47px 47px #992400, 48px 48px #992400, 49px 49px #992400, 50px 50px #992400; }
看看效果:
额,很不错,很立体。但是,就是丑,而且说不上来的奇怪。
问题出在哪里呢,阴影其实是存在明暗度和透明度的变化的,所以,对于渐进的每一层文字阴影,明暗度和透明度应该都是不断变化的。这个需求,SASS 可以很好的实现,下面是两个 SASS 颜色函数:
-
fade-out
改变颜色的透明度,让颜色更加透明 -
desaturate
改变颜色的饱和度值,让颜色更少的饱和
关于 SASS 颜色函数,可以看看这里:Sass基础—颜色函数
我们使用上面两个 SASS 颜色函数修改一下我们的 CSS 代码,主要是修改上面的 makeLongShadow
function 函数:
@function makelongrightshadow($color) { $val: 0px 0px $color; @for $i from 1 through 50 { $color: fade-out(desaturate($color, 1%), .02); $val: #{$val}, #{$i}px #{$i}px #{$color}; } @return $val; }
好,看看最终效果:
嗯,大功告成,这次顺眼了很多~
