Designing Image Based Backgrounds in Moho Pro

Build up 2D image based backgrounds using Procreate, Photoshop and Moho Pro!

Create a 3D Interior Set

The first set we will build can be animated in full 3D. By using textures and blend modes, we can pull off cool results!

2D Image Scene in Moho

We will go through the process of condensing the 3D set to 2D to save on resources when animating. Plus mix up the style and colors.

Enhance Images in Photoshop

The third variation of the background will be created by bringing the Moho layers into Photoshop for an extra kick. Then it's back to Moho for our final animation test!

Textures, Projects Files and More
