Hey I always thought how to make this kind of effect.The process how to use the alpha channel is useful.Thanks man!

That flat kicks %#@!!! It’s way too windy to be moving that slow, it kind of looks like there’s a hurricane or tornado going on. Pretty good stuff thought!
Hey! very nice tutorial. It’s a good intro to using the cloth modifier.
However you do realize that by posting your videos to a public video providing site, everybody can see the Day 2 of the tutorial, as well as every other tutorial you are going to post at a later date, right?
I have already seen the excellent Hight Rez Clank model in Cinema 4D, the Realistic Pool Table in 3DS Max, and the best of all, the Abandoned Water Tower!
I hope I didn’t break the law or anything, since they are publicly available…
