Our team was tasked with the complex challenge of illustrating the unique properties of an advanced textile designed to repel water while allowing vapour to pass through its structure. To achieve this, we deconstructed the fabric into its three integral layers, using sophisticated particle simulations to show the interaction between the fabric and various liquids at a molecular level.

Focusing on the central layer of the fabric, we can see that it is equipped with microcellular structures adept at absorbing vapor droplets. These microcells actively draw in moisture from the body and expel it outward, maintaining comfort and dryness for the wearer.

The outer layer, on the other hand, is engineered to repel external elements, particularly rainwater. Here, we show how rain droplets encounter this surface and form beads that effortlessly roll off, effectively demonstrating the fabric’s water-repellent capabilities.

To provide a comprehensive view of these processes, we used dynamic camera moves, seamlessly transitioning between layers to highlight their distinct functions. This not only enhances the viewer’s understanding but also showcases the sophisticated engineering behind this innovative fabric in a visually engaging way. Through detailed simulations and vivid visual storytelling, we offer an in-depth look into how this clever fabric cleverly balances porosity and water resistance.

Modelling and CGI animation of all scenes was created in Cinema 4D, with rendering handled in Redshift.
