Upgrading CSS Animation With Motion Curves

There is UI animation, and then there is good UI animation. Good animation makes you go “Wow!” - it's smooth, beautiful and, most of all, natural, not blocky, rigid or robotic. If you frequent Dribbble or UpLabs, you'll know what I am talking about.

With so many amazing designers creating such beautiful animations, any developer would naturally want to recreate them in their own projects. Now, CSS does provide some presets for transition-timing-function, such as ease-in, ease-out and ease-in-out, which add some level of smoothness and realism, but they are very generic, aren't they? How boring would it be if every animation on the web followed the same three timing functions?
