Moho (Anime Studio) Tutorials

This is a reproduction of Matthew Cruickshank's animation that was used to celebrate the 125th birthday of Bessie Coleman on Google.

This version was made 100% in Moho Pro 12 using 3D layers.

This effect is created using bones and masks.
The waves are looped layers moving left to right, but the height and movement are affected by the the dynamic movements of the glass.

First the tiled image is created in Moho and exported as a looped video.
Then in a new document, a 3D torus shape (created with a circle in a 3D layer) has this video applied as a texture.
The texture needs to be sized and aligned correctly for the effect to work - trial and error.




Changing the shape:

Changing texture size:

Another option is to use a static texture image, and then rotate the circle shape.
