hi, This is a flagpole i'm working on for a project i'm doing. It's the very first thing I've modeled all by myself. I'm going for the Mideivel(sp, my dictionary is broken) style. I'm somewhat happy with everything but the actual flag, the shape is ok, but I don't know how to add ripples, etc to it to make it look realistic. I want to add some, but not overdo it, as i'll be writing stuff on it that needs to be read, suggestions? Thanks, Sterling

not a bad job. i'm not too sure how to add ripples though. perhaps there is something under the modifiers that would help. oh, and its medieval. oh, and don't forget to apply nice shaders. :). dthrm

Yeah, I have some shaders, and a few nice phototextures I'd rather use, I need to learn how to convert those, I also saw a set or two in the marketplace that looked cool too. Thanks for the compliments, us beginners need it, especially with out noses poked in a cararra for dummies manual, it's almost demeaning. :)

Several ways to do this but I choose a simple line on a cross section within the spline modeler. Use the "Free" extrusion envelope, add control points to the top & bottom envelope, convert them to smooth points & then just start moving them to suit your taste. The center line controls the width of the top VS bottom, you need to convert the ends to smooth points & drag the control handle (not the point) towards the center.

A wave modifier in the properties would likely be easier. That would be my choice.

i think that you're looking for something like this? i used Xplane in the modifiers browser. i think it was Xplane. and then messed with the object settings-modifiers. hope that helps:)

Thanks for the tips! Linear wave seems to be doing the trick. Now back to playing around! I do have another question though, but that's a different thread..
