James Whiffin with a look at creating a cloaking effect using Maya and After Effects using a fractal material in Maya to create the transition, and using displacement maps in After Effects to simulate the invisibility effect. Check out the tutorial for Creating a Cloaking Invisibility Effect with Maya & After Effects here.
from the tutorial description: In this tutorial from James Whiffin you’ll learn how to create a truly awesome invisibility effect using Maya and After Effects. James will cover creating a fractal material in Maya to use as a transition for the cloaking effect, and how to composite displacement maps inside of After Effects, using the luma values of ambient occlusion and depth map layers to achieve this popular effect in our shot.
