@ Greenlaw Thank you for this very helpful and exceptionally clear explanation - I will let it sink in and most likely focus on vector/drawing in Moho and try to adapt my design. If I have any results I will post them. So thanks again - also for the link to your film!

@ slowtiger Danke! Fast: 80 km entfernt, in der Uckermark.

For good measure, I created this bird in Affinity because I like the program's options for designing the bird's texture - I haven't found anything similar in Moho. Am I wrong or is there a similar result possible and I don't understand how to do it in Moho? https://www.dropbox.com/s/ckkb4yrqpbiwb4i/...

@ davido: Why do you recommend vector over image?

This is clearly a beginner's question: I look forward to your experiences and advice! Which is better - to use an image (PNG, PSD etc.) or to draw/import vectors directly into MOHO? I noticed that the new Moho examples are almost all based on PSD files and almost never created directly in Moho. Coul...

Oh thank you! I have a few more tutorial videos that I still need to post, but first there are issues with the website I have to fix. After the upcoming holidays, I hope to start posting new content regularly again.

I am looking forward to it - have nice holidays!

There are many ways to do this, but one 'easy' way is to create a straight line with many points (you can do this manually or just use Hayasidist's handy shape creation tool,) and then apply [Scripts>Warp>Wave...] The only problem with this method is that it doesn't automatically make the animation...

Re: using particles for a river animation...that's an interesting approach. ... Yes, I won't try it again - I am now fully convinced that it is not an ideal approach (I use Apple Motion a lot, the particles there also have different and more possibilities, maybe that's why I thought of it in Moho).

@AnjaFrey There are many possible ways to make water look like its flowing depending on the style and level or realism you want. .... First, create a wavy line animation. Make it a cycle so copies of the wave can be offset. I suggest rendering this as an image sequence so Moho doesn't have calculat...

I don't bother with particles in this case: I'd put lots of ripples lines on one layer about 3x the length of the visible river, move this layer with water speed, and put it into a mask which is the river. Can even do this with more than one in different speeds. Thank you very much! I will try your...

Hopefully someone can help: I tried to make water flow down a river. - and failed (using MOHOpro 12). The river is a sort of top view (like a snake, starting at the bottom of the monitor and ending in the top right corner) and I wanted to visualise the movement of the water with lines at right angle...
