    Hey there

    I’ve currently got an idea for a 2D animation where a guy dressed in a suit is falling through the sky. I’d like his suit to flap in the wind as he falls.

    Does anyone have any ideas for going about this?

    I’ve tried setting up cloth in maya but I find working with cloth to be impossible.
    I’ve also achieved a similar effect using the ripple effect which wasn’t was too mathematical for it to be convincing.

    I guess I’d like to stay clear of hand animating seeing the guy would be falling for about 1:30

    thanks

    Couldn’t you animate four or so frames of the flap and then simply loop it?

    Just seems like the way to go with that one – on first thought at least.

    hth?
