Can I transform layer in this 3D perspective-like way ?

Post by Animator101 »

Is there a way to do 3D-like layer transforming in Moho ? What I mean by that is transforming a layer to where it either narrows down at the bottom or at the top and widens on the opposite side to give that 3D like perspective effect. I want to do this with imported im ages an d group layers. Not just simple square. I exported an example from Skcetchbook Pro to show what I mean.
Thank you

one approach is to use the perspective points tool. (really only useful for a one layer vector drawing)

another is to place the layer origin at the bottom of the image and then rotate the layer about the x axis. (works on groups too ofc!)

but the layer transform tools in Moho don't yet provide the range that you'll find in the like of PS etc when it comes to free form / skew / etc transforms

I see what you're saying. Thank you.

You could use a mesh of course.
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

I'd completely forgotten about this script (from 5 years ago!!) http://lostmarble.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=22441
