shrinking fabric fibers animation
I’m trying to create an animation showing fabric fibers shrinking. It would basically be perpendicular fibers interwoven at a preset distance apart and then have them “shrink” as if they were subject to being washed in hot water or something like that. If this could be done in quasi-3D that would be even better.
Thanks for any suggestions on this.

3dStroke could be an option
Or Trapcode Particular, using animated paths.
Here’s a tutorial that may help;

I just thought of another way- if you have a nice looking image of fibers, you can apply Mesh Warp to simulate the fibers coming closer.
One more option- use Zaxwerks Invigorator: create fiber shapes in Illustrator, import as separate objects, position in Zaxwerks 3d space and animate them getting closer.Tudor “Ted” Jelescu

actually Zaxwerks serpentine would be perfect for this. It support 3-D fibers to shrink, move, etc, even custom caps on the ends. then you can add custom random expressions to the inertia of the fibers.
