backface-visibility not working for me

Hello, I'm currently having the same issue. I followed Guil's code but it's not working for me.

web-kit backface-visibility doesn't work for me either

/* ================================= Photo 3D Transforms & Transitions ==================================== */

.content { perspective: 700px; }

.photo { transition: transform 1s cubic-bezier(.55, -.62, .27, 1.2);

}

.photo:hover { transform: rotateY(-180deg);

}

.side-a, .side-b { backface-visibility: hidden; transform-style: preserve-3d; }

.side-b { transform: rotateY(180deg); }

Try setting the 3-D style on the element that is being rotated:

.photo {
  transition: transform 1s cubic-bezier(.55, -.62, .27, 1.2);
  transform-style: preserve-3d;                              /* <-- add this */
}

Steven, after commenting out the transition property and adding the transform-style property to .photo, it still doesn't create the front and back images like in the video.

/* ================================= Photo 3D Transforms & Transitions ==================================== */

.content { perspective: 700px; }

.photo { /* transition: transform 1s cubic-bezier(.55, -.62, .27, 1.2); */ transform-style: preserve-3d; }

.photo:hover { transform: rotate3d(1, 0, 0, 180deg); }

.side-a, .side-b { backface-visibility: hidden; }

.side-b { transform: rotateX(180deg); }

I was only suggesting adding that property, not removing any.
Without the transition, it works but the "flip" is instant instead of animated; so put that back in. :wink:

Ok I'll do that.
