Hi Mike German here from Vizual Animation with another video. Today we are talking about Cloth and how to create flags and correctly fix them to flag poles.
Thanks for the tutorial. One suggestion: I found that putting the Plane in a Cloth Surface and adding subdivisions, like you did in this video, doesn't get rid of those bumpy, squarish edges you see on the folds of the flag as it waves. You should instead add a bit more subdivisions to the Plane geometry itself, then put the Plane in a Subdivision Surface. That gets rid of those bumpy folds and looks nice and smooth like real fabric. You can then use the Weight Subdivision Surface tool to get rid of the rounded corners you'll get on the Plane when you put it in the Subdivision Surface.

very helpful. Thanks Mike!
Helpful! Thanks!
Glad you liked it. I am working on a new flag tutorial for 2023 using the new cloth engine.
