    Ribbon flutter while moving on path

    Posted by Rich Carroll on June 24, 2005 at 10:45 pm

    I’m trying to make a ribbon flow through a scene. I’ve got Path Deformer working nicely (great plugin BTW). But the ribbon looks a bit fake because the tail is following the head perfectly along the path. How can I add a flutter to the back of the ribbon, so it diverges from the path? Is there a way to make a cloth structure and then use path deformer (I’ve been trying to get this to work to no avail)
    Thanks

    Paint a Vertexmap and use it as restriction for a FlagDeformer.
    Just tried and it works and looks good.

    Cheers

    explain, im confused. If i have a extruded spline and use path deformer do i need to make my extruded spline an editable object. I got it to work, but it doesn’t look right

    thanks

    Please have a look a Item026 at.

    It is a zipped Cinemascene.
    Keep any deformers above Pathfinder to prevent strange distortions.

    Cheers
