svg path fill animation

Question

I'm trying to achieve a svg path fill animation like the gif below, tried clipPath but no luck, any help, idea how to achieve that kind of animation (gif image below)? tried gsap or any svg animation library but none of them cater my needs.

Answer 1

The general idea is this: you draw the path you clip it as you need and next you animate the stroke-dashoffset of the clipped path. You make sure that the animation for the next path begins after the previous one ends: begin="a.end +.5s" .

However in this case you will need to rewrite the paths. For example in the case of the lace I would use 2 paths and 2 different clip-paths or even 3. Otherwise you get an unaesthetic bleeding effect where the path overlaps.
