Hello @gferreira

I know how to move the blob and the hole separately. (Last example in my first post) My question is, if there is any way to move a group of objects together? I like to have a blob with several holes that act as one object? (If I change the movement of the blob, the holes will change too).

Sorry, my english is not very good ...

Hello @michelangelo

Thank you very much, your code is very inspiring. I played around and it moves just how it should - except the "hole". Can the hole somehow act related to the blob and move just as it would be a part of the blob? (clipping?)

# Define a function to draw your shape
def Blob(offset):
    
    # Let's make a Bezier Path shape
    bez = BezierPath()
    bez.qCurveTo((80 + offset, 80 + 0.2 * offset), (80 + offset, 920 + 0.8 * offset), (920 + 0.1 * offset, 920 + 0.3 * offset), (920 + 3 * offset, 80 + 0.5 * offset), None)
    # Here I make Another shape, but it's going the opposite direction
    bez.moveTo((700, 300))
    bez.lineTo((700, 700))
    bez.lineTo((300, 700))
    bez.lineTo((300, 300))
    bez.closePath()
    fill(0.79, 0.52, 0.67)
    stroke(None)
    drawPath(bez)
    translate(60, 15)
    scale(x=0.8, y=0.03)
    fill(0)

    # Drawing the shape here
    drawPath(bez)
    
numFrames = 60
    
for i in range(numFrames):
    t = i / numFrames

    newPage(1000, 1000)
    fill(0.92, 0.90, 0.87)
    stroke(1)
    strokeWidth(80)
    rect(0, 0, 1000, 1000)

    
    
    
    # The function takes an argument "offset" to create the movement (it loops at * 50, * 25 * 12.5, * 6.25, 3.125
    offset = sin(t * 12.5) * 10
    print(offset)
    Blob(offset)

@michelangelo @michelangelo Heyho! Thank you so much for responding I had a whole mess of code in here, after a month or so with no reaction i deleted it - i felt ashamed, i thought my code mess must look hopeless to you guys. i will have a look at your example, and reupload some bits and pieces. Greetings

...beneath the "counter/holes" i am trying hard, to animate each cornerpoint (off line point) of the qcurve-path seperatly, to get e more irregular movement. I am open to every new inspiration from you guys, thanks in advance.

Hello World :::-)

Let me explain... I know nothing about code or coding.
As a graphic designer i am familiar with vector path, and i use to know some basics in html and css - just enough to have had a glimpse at the beauty of code, once upon a time late at night. Then i stumbled upon the drawbot app and id seems like the time has come for me to learn something new. Coding animations with drawbot/python.
I looked at the nice works you guys creating, played with your shared codes and had some succsess. I love to learn stuff by myself.
Soon i realised, that my recent all-pink procreate doodles probably can be animated. I found a nice Blob animation and somehow managed to create my own blob, with bits and parts of code. Have a look at my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/das_habakuk/

i turned the blob into my signature letter/character "H" and everthing seemed to be allright...

(

...and now it seems like i`m stuck - no more succsess, no more progression. I really dont like to share my beginner-codes, but maybe i have to do it.

i wrote that all, to let you know what my goals are - it is not possible to write down every single question i have. I try to dance my name, somehow. :::-)

I know, that several parts of my codes are useless, i figured out, that i dont need to import math and many other things. Altough, i havent managed yet, to fit the "counters" (holes) into my blob, to make it look like this:

i managed to create two "counters/holes", and they even move, but they act like two little blobs, instead of being "clipped" to the movement of the main blob.

i know, for you guys this must be a terrible mess - please be kind!

thanks in andvance, greetings from switzerland

edit: sorry, i posted in the wrong forum - this used to be in the "general discussion"
