How to rig or animate a flag

#1

I tried to animate a flag in LW, but the results didnt look fine, so I am searching how to do try in Messiah. Any answer will help. Thanks

#2

why didnt it look fine in LW? just an animated displacement fractal with a falloff and referencing a null should do the trick…

as far as using messiah, i would use the soft body dynamics that come with it. should work fine. create a surface name for the flag itself and another for an edge holder poly strip. then you just move the flag around to make it wave as if its in the wind, parent the camera to the mover so that the flag is still in relationship to the camera and render (dont forget to bake).
