Sorry to be "that guy" but looking at the source, he uses JS just for changing scenes and sometimes for opacity (the latter of which can be done w/ CSS3)

When I was referring to animations, I meant the actual transformation of the element/object, which he does use CSS3 for.

I'm a jQuery user myself, along with plenty of CSS3 action, and I was indeed aware you still need to use JS for scene changes and triggering CSS3 animations.

Why I want this tool to use CSS3 for the actual animations themselves is the performance. I'm not sure what voodoo browsers use to make CSS3 animations so much more smooth then the equivalent JS animation, but it's so noticable. Especially on iOS devices.

Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen this example before and it rocks!
