let a beast jump out of a hoop?

[Holger]

Okay, I see - thank you very much! Covering is really a good idea.
But could you please tell me, what kind of method you would use for bringing the "doughnut" partly behind the beast?

I now experiment with another kind of hoop and cutting it makes now very ugly edges - so I really would like to learn another way.

I have attached the new file again.
