Okay, this seems like a pretty basic tutorial. *UV NODES TO CHANGE TEXTURES IN POST* Where the HEY has THAT been my whole life!?!?!??!?!?

[@roboterson]

Its really a game changer, lets you have so much more control over the scene, you can render, and change all the textures after so long as you don't need to change any geo. Used it a few years ago when I was working on very slow to render scene that I was going to need to texture at a later point.

[@toxicfx_nuhaad9175]

I literally flipped when I saw that trick xd

[@Riley_Christian]

To be honest that's the only thing I learned from this video

[@TehBurek]

@@roboterson Does it really scale to a scene with multiple objects and textures? Do you need to render them out in separate layers or jump through some other hoops?

So two days ago I searched “making flags in blender” and the best one I found was some 15 minute hash threw that didn’t even make a realistic flag. Then this vid shows up in my recommended vids from a channel I’m already subscribed to with like 10x the quality

[@TomDub20]

I like the shot of your beefy computer and back to the screen cap. Tutorial worthy

[@RJLpt]

If you're curious, most flags aspect ratios are 3:2 with a few exceptions, such as UK (2:1) and USA (10:19).

Hey ! Small update on the FLAGS I'd recommend the multires modifier instead of the subdivisions it seems more adapted to me, but if I'm wrong I'd be happy to have your opinion on it

[@juliusfucik4011]

It works, but there's issues with white pixels on the outer edge of the flag. It think those are due to rounding errors in the UV mapping. Not sure. Also, the subdivision rounds the corners visibly, unless you use "Simple". I think a more traditional approach works better in the long run, especially if you model the strings with which the flag is tied to a pole. It simply looks better, but is a lot more work obviously.

[@81fiths]

you could also just add an image texture in the shading tab and you got the same result unless there is something different

[@sntt3404]

wait what did i do wrong? on compositing the flag looks fine, well a bit dark but u can see the colours but animation wont play. when i go back to layout it's back to greyish/yellow pixel flag that flows. i'd argue i did everything right on this tutorial, i even had to use 0.75 speed to make sure i kept up but still failed? does Blender 2.90 not work this way?

[@bunksoup8137]

You forgot to create a single subdivision initially to get 2 even squares, which means all of your geometry was rectangles, which you know is not “correct” deformation of cloth.

[@yosyp5905]

to be fair if you subdivide enough, rectangles become so little that it doesn't matter. At least in a logical standpoint, I don't know Blender physics.

[@jamesmather7896]

Great tutorial - Thank you. So the issue I have is when you add any other geometry to this - because of the UV Map method it seems to apply the flag texture to ALL objects in the scene - including the flagpole - how do you get it to only apply to the flag itself? I'm guessing it's something to do with the Alpha Number in the Map uv node?
