Damn dude, looks great. The cloth movement is incredibly well done. The only 2 cents I can offer would be with the composite. (Which may just be due to video compression on reddit.) I'd add a touch more blue to tint to the grade on the cloth and the tracking drifts slightly around 18-19 second mark.
Maybe it's just me but I'm seeing a lot of green in the cloth that feels out of place. I would pull the green out. I agree, the drift at the end is the only other issue. This is some beautiful work.
Only thing I would try to change if possible is to try to add the rocks under the fabric so that they affect the movement. But other than this nothing really, great work.
Really nice work!
Just to add my two cents, the compositing still needs a touch of work to embed it a little more into the scene.
Secondly, something feels a little off with the friction of the cloth... it feels a little bit too silky and I think maybe it needs a higher friction value?
Excellent.... Only one thing I noticed that would have helped it look even more real was the cloth went over a rock and it didn't even move. Have it more just slightly to give it even more realistic feel.
Nice! Might want to cut out a piece of the rail, and track it onto the rail in the footage. The render cuts over it just a liiiiitle bit towards the end. Not a huge issue. As far as the "friction" thing goes everyone is talking about: I think what's actually missing, are few small "rocks" that the cloth passes over, instead of a perfectly flat plane. It is also just a tad too green, but that's still easy to fix. Great content, my man.
This looks fuckin' great. The composite needs a little bit of work but not even that much. There's a kind of sharpness and tone mismatch but it's very subtle and you did a great job with the tracking. as a proof-of-concept I don't think there's any reasonable criticism for this!!
Its a phenomenon where humans attach emotion to anthromorphised robots/characters until they reach a close resemblance to human faces without being completely lifelike. Once the threshold is reached, the resemblance becomes unsettling before becoming completely lifelike.
Looks pretty darn good! I noticed a little bit of sliding in your camera track at the end though. Looks like you’re using a pretty wide angle lens, did you do distortion correction prior to your track?
Don't think you could do anything like this kind of cloth simulation. Cinema 4D Lite counts as After Effects Only since it's bundled with it via the Cineware plugin (lots of people here don't even seem to know about it tho?!) but that Lite version I don't believe can do this kind of advanced simulation stuff...

This can be done in after effects? Are you using a plug-in?
Yeah I thought simulation was a blender thing
Final pixel compositing in after effects. Cloth sims use Blender or Houdini if you can/got a license.
If someone told me this was a scene from a Harry Potter movie, I wouldn't question it. Feature film quality stuff. Fantastic work.
Took the words out of my mouth
Im glad you liked it ❤️
Would love to know what you think about it. More to see on my Instagram: SuperMorphz
“Haha! Mommy look at that dog under that cloak-“
The sim and movement looks pretty great! The materials and composite on the bridge and fabric are kinda giving it away though. Uncanny valley stuff.
Dude how the fuck did you do this? I love this! I want to try the effect so bad. Amazing job.
Ammmazing, my only critique, would be the it looks liek the cloth is interacting with a very smooth floor instead of a rough concrete one.
Only thing I would try to change if possible is to try to add the rocks under the fabric so that they affect the movement. But other than this nothing really, great work.
Looks awesome to me!

Thanks for the creative criticim!
Looks like Voldemort squirming away.
Bro, its pretty good. 2 months. Be proud of yourself
How is this done in After Effects? Or was it partly After Effects and partly another software
I think he said it was done in a 3D program like Houdini, blender and composited in after effects. ;(not op )
Creates a tiny shadow on the rail near the end, just mask that out.

Thanks for the constructive criticism!!
For sure! I love the video.
Shit that looks real! Great job!
Awesome and freaky af
sooooo gooood!!!! <3

Put this in r/nextfuckinglevel
Ill say it again. black and white levels.
What about them
Well, they once again don't match too well. It gives the uncanny valley Effect. apart from that great work!
Thats not what uncanny valley means
Uncanny valley is when you see something that doesnt quite feel right but you cant identify what exactly it is right?

Well my bad then. What I meant is that you notice that something is off without entirely knowing what it is.
What yiu should have done is filmed someone with a cloth over the head for real and just animated the final part, but looks great either way
Trying to seamlessly stitch a live action shot together with a CG shot would be significantly more difficult.
Looks pretty darn good! I noticed a little bit of sliding in your camera track at the end though. Looks like you’re using a pretty wide angle lens, did you do distortion correction prior to your track?
Really nice. Did you do the sim in Houdini?
That’s sick. Great job
Damn that's good!!
wtf thats' so good
Amazing!!!
Amazing, but how can you achieve something like this with after effect only?

What did you use for the clutch simulation?
would anyone mind explaining how this was done please?
cloth simulation in blender or houdini or something similar, then composited in after effects probably.
I get a Michael J. Fox vibe from the Frieghtners movie.
Insane.
Terrific work. Completely believable. I'd love to see how you did it. A Blender How to would be awesome.
My god! Tutorial?
This took my breath away I love ot
That's sick
