Translate3d not working with the scale up

Hi,

My translate3d animation isn't showing but the scale up and fill is. Any advice? Thanks

/* --------------------------
  Base
--------------------------- */

body {
  padding-top: 60px;
    background: #0f4e7a;
}

svg {
    margin: auto;
  display: block;
    width: 28%;
}


/* --------------------------
  Keyframes
--------------------------- */

@keyframes slide {
  50% {
    transform: translate3d(0,110px,0);
  }

  80% { 
    transform: translate3d(0,20px,0);
  }

  100% {
    transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
  }
}


@keyframes grow {
  0% {
   transform: scale(1);
  }

  50% { 
   transform: scale(1.15) rotate(-5deg);
   opacity: 1;
   fill: #fdf097;
   }

  100% {
   transform: scale(1);
  }
}


@keyframes offset {
25%{
    transform: rotate(0deg);
  }

50%{
    stroke-opacity: 1;
  }


  100% {
    stroke-dashoffset: 0;
    transform: rotate(180deg);
    stroke-opacity: 0;

  }
}


/* --------------------------
  SVG Styles
--------------------------- */

.stars * {
  transform-origin: 50% 50%;
}

.stars-bg {
  stroke-opacity: 0;
  stroke-dasharray: 815px;
  stroke-dashoffset: 815px;
  animation: offset .8s 1.0s ease-in-out forwards;
}


.star {
  transform: translate3d(0, 180px, 0);
  animation: slide .5s forwards,
                    grow .6s ease-out forwards;
}


.star:nth-of-type(1) {
  animation-delay: .5s, 0.1s;
}


.star:nth-of-type(2) {
  animation-delay: 0.2s;
}

.star:nth-of-type(3) {
  animation-delay: .8s, 0.3s;
}

Why are you using translated3d? You don't do anything with the z-axis on any of those transforms, so you'd be better off just using translate. It also more broadly supported.

.star:nth-of-type(2) { animation-delay: 0.2s; }

is missing the second time duration (for "pulsing" effect)

I was having a similar error. You can use the translate3d(x, y, z) but it seems to be a glitch when you assign two @keyframe to an animation method. Remove the "grow .6s ease-out forwards" and then try and run it. The scale up effect should then run. Just make sure you put your semi-colon after your animation state. That line should look like this animation: slide .5s forwards;

I am not sure how Guil Hernandez got it to work with assigning two keyframes to the animation.
