Creating a Text / Wave Animation

[AbyssWatcher]

Hi, 

 

i found this great animation on single tentacle pngs here made with pixi.js.

I was wondering if anybody has an idea how to make this same animation with a text. Is it possible to make this with only GSAP?

 

Thank you in advance

GSAP animates properties of objects. What you're talking about is more like a rendering thing, where things bend/warp. That's not what GSAP is for. Pixi is probably a good bet. Maybe someone else has a better idea. And of course you'd use GSAP to animate the Pixi (or whatever) properties.

Yep, Jack is right this is a work better suited for PIXI:

You can definitely add GSAP to the mix if you want in order to animate the mesh.

 

Happy Tweening!
