Animate a liquid

[Beverly28076879npi1]

How can I create a animation of a liquid?  Such as water in a glass.

Unless you need this to be paired with a speaking character, this question might be better in the Adobe Animate forums.

there are so many ways to do this! You could use Photoshop to create an animated GIF of a glass,  that can be used as a trigger in Character Animator. You can use a brush, or shapes, or a real glass with water with different frames of water in different places so when it animates it looks like its moving and/or filling up the glass. 

Or I guess you could use morphing in Adobe Animate to create an animation like that, export to a movie and composite in Premiere?

Hope that helps!

Worked better than I thought. Here is an example puppet holding a glass

Rotate the glass by "Rotation" of "Transform [glass]" (there are many transform behaviors, make sure you pick the right one)

Setup:

• "water" layer pinned to "glass" layer by Leader-Follower at a point (no rotation), allowing "water" to maintain the horizontal level
• Some Dangles on "water" layer for a bit of a jiggly effect
• Mask out "water" layer outside of "glass" layer with a clipping mask

I created a puppet that was itself a bottle of juice (kids' show, enough said) and I used dangle and clipping masks so that it looks like the liquid is sloshing inside the bottle. I can't post the puppet, but I'd be happy to answer questions.
