Claudio Z shared a strangely compelling browser-based 2D cloth simulation that lets users grab and deform a digital mesh in real time. That’s the whole thing. No download, no install. Just immediate floppy satisfaction.
Click and drag any part of the mesh. It stretches, bounces, sags—and occasionally flails like a badly rigged cape. The interaction is instant and weirdly hypnotic, and you’ll wonder why you’re still poking at fake fabric ten minutes later.
Where the Mesh Lives
The simulation runs directly in your browser at CLoudofOZ. This isn’t pipeline material. It’s not meant for shot-finaling, and it won’t integrate into your DCC stack. But it is a clever little experiment in web-based simulation, and it might inspire a prototype or tool idea—after you’ve finished dragging the same point for the 30th time.
And, even if that ages me a bit, it is mindboggling that a full cloth sim runs in a browser. I remember a time, when that needed MULTIPLE workstations, artists and days of sim time for every little wiggle.
