Blender Beginner Tutorial: Animated Flag


https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mwzz-Y6t-v8/hqdefault.jpg



Blender tutorial showing you how to use the cloth simulator to make an animated flag. I’ll post the link to the cloth sim comparisons tomorrow. My internet is so slow that the only way to remain sane is to upload while I sleep. So yeah, if you’re reading this I’m asleep.

  1. Cool way to create fabric! That's what makes this tute different from others.
    Since you mention that we can post ideas: Any chance to improve on this tute (or make a "part 2"?) that shows how to add a **looping** flag animation? From what I see this is a popular question with no answer so far…

  2. Hello, I have a fairly abstract error.
    I can see my flag colored and nice if I am in Blender render, however if I switch to Cycles Render (to access my hdri photo) the flag only renders as a solid white object, not the colored flag I used from the beginning.
    Also adding many question marks to gain someone attention quicker ????????????????????????

  3. Around 34:00 he mentions that in the node editor has a box titled "Image Texture", for some reason my node is titled "Material and it links color (yellow wire) to the "Output". I've tried shift+A to add a different type of node and "Image Texture" doesn't appear, what am I doing wrong?

  4. yeah anthem wise even if it's not official I preferred Waltzing Matilda if not for the upbeat instrumental, in fact if you blokes aren't using it anymore can Britain have it? God Save the Queen is kind of slow :/

  5. hi Andrew just wanted to give some feed back, it would be a bit easier to follow the tut if you slowed down both talking and actions in the video, as people who come here come here to learn and are not as talented and intelligent at animating as you. (why would someone watch this vid if they already knew how to do it). also a suggestion is to make a tutorial on how to make a car crash scene. thank-you love your vids!

  6. I really enjoy the tutorials but I can never get them right. There is always something that doesn't work. Even following exactly step by step pausing and making sure I click exactly the same buttons and key combos. Oh well, guess I'm not meant to be a blender guru. ๐Ÿ™

  7. I don't have the images as planes option… ?
    And I noticed before that I don't have the principal shader either. I downloaded it a week ago, it should have this stuff right?

    Edit: I should stop pausing the video immediately when I see a problem because basically every time he explains it right afterwards. Lol I'm dumb.

  8. Hi one more question, when I render using Cycle Render, I do not see the flag texture instead it still shows solid flag. Why is it. I couldn't figure that yet. I am using JPEG format image for the flag(plane) whereas in the Blender Render it does show the texture, but it's shadows are way darker and not looking good.
