Hi rio.matthew,
Very nice example. As I like to capture from time to time in high speed as well (which results in slow motion), I love to play the footage backwards then. I can help myself, but I think half the clips of this movie is slow-motion in reverse. I believe highly that we store information which impacts us with more detail, hence the “slo-mo” effect and its impact while using it for cinematography.
I would think that we get that slo-mo revers effect by setting the weight low and have some turbulence in the scene.
Please play the scene, and check if around frame 140 and the following the fabric works as you like to have it. I’m certain it is not perfectly what you are after, but perhaps you can tweak the parameter a little. I have self collision set to off, as it takes quite some “power” to have that as well. The plane has 50x50 segments.
If you cache the result—once you are happy and render only the best parts out, edit it as in the movie you referred to, with some reverse clips perhaps, it should work.
A subsurface object might help, the material is important and perhaps you use some Wind Objects (see image) with fall off (e.g., set to cylindrical, to shape your fabric dynamically!) It looks in the movie a little bit as a hair-blower was used to “sculpt” the fabric/silk)
Let me know how it goes, perhaps in the morning I have a fresher pair of eyes for it ;o)
All the best
Sassi
