Really fun animation and interaction made by Figmatelier.

Beautiful demo of a powerful animation plugin Aninix.

Pavel Babkin shows how to move objects along the path using the Figma Motion plugin.

The makers of the Aninix plugin explain animation timing in this detailed Twitter thread.

Pavel Babkin explains how to use link animation for layer properties in his popular Motion plugin to easily animate complex scenes.

The team at LottieFiles explains how to recreate an animation from Apple’s iPad mini website.

Another cool artifact from William Wu’s work on spring animations.

Love this behind-the-scenes video of Nikolas Klein and William Wu from Figma experimenting with how fast they can set a spring animation based on a feeling.

Aninix is a powerful UI animation plugin for Figma: ​“Easily create motion design systems, export animations for promos, and provide animation inspector for developers.”

Cool update to a LottieFiles plugin: ​“Instantly change the colors of your animation. Apply your own custom colors, or try out our carefully curated preset color palettes.”

Supafast!

This deep dive into the making of the feature is my favorite kind of a blog post on Figma’s blog: ​“Building spring animations took our engineering team back to the classroom — to make animations that are both natural and accurate, we borrowed principles from physics. We’re excited to share the mechanics behind the movement, and the story of how spring animations bounced their way into Figma.”

Andrei Iancu shared two more kits with loading animations — see also his really cool Kit 3 with delayed steps.

Create more natural and fluid transitions for your prototypes with spring presets or a custom animation.

Dan & Xiang demonstrate what you can do with the LottieFiles Figma plugin.

A cool explainer of impressive interactive effects made with Figma, Spline, and Anima.
