Cloth simulation test done with AE scripting and expressions.
- particles (little circles) are setup on a grid
- particles are connected with springs
- force is applied
- finally layers are created at center of each cell, with expression-driven orientation and corner pin to fit the cell
This is very cool! I can imagine doing a final render with thousands of small particles for a more realistic look, but the grid feel still looks great!
Since every pieces of the cloth is a layer, you cannot have thousands of particles since AE won’t go over a thousand layer! 🙂
This is very cool! Is there another plug-in to After Effects that does cloth simulation like this, but not so grid-like?
you may try trapcode mir!
Zaxwerks 3D Flag does a very good cloth simulation.

Is this script available for download?
Nop, sorry.
