    hey everyone im really really stuck at the moment and hope that someone could help me out, at the moment im simulating flag waving cloth in 3ds max, its fine but i know the client will want it a specific way, by the looks of this video im guessing it was done in after effects but im stuck as to how exactly it was done. im experimenting but i cant get an effect close to it. would anyone have some suggestions or know of anywhere that has a tutorial for something like it. hope to hear back from somebody and thanks…

    3d Flag or Psunami would probably get you what you want.

    I recently needed to simulate cloth in AE using only the default plugins for my latest Pro Motion Menu Kit that has a Theater theme. I used Fractal Noise for the highlights and shadows, then used the same fractal noise layer as a displacement map to distort the edges and surface. I also used a mesh warp to distort the curtain as it pulls back.

    Here is what it looks like:

    thats pretty nice using the defaults! heres my end result, modelled in 3ds max, simulated with default cloth simulator, flag and ball rendered on individual layers, didnt heve time to simulate a hole being punched through the cloth so roughly faked it in after effects using bulge, sphere, bit of masking, worked out ok in the end. for a web banner.
