Flags

Can I create a flag like the numerous tutorials around but is triangular (ie a pennant). Must be able to respond to the wind etc?

2

add a cloth simulation, and a wind force field, and you will get a realistic flag tho

thanks for your response but when I create the triangle by modifying a plane I can no longer create a subdivision that would allow the flexibility for the cloth. The triangle is created by selecting a side of the plane and setting the size of the side to zero to sqish the side thus making a triangle from the plane. Any ideas?

You can achieve it by two types.
Add plane then subdivide it then add another plane & make triangular shape & use Boolean.
Or crate a triangular shape & subdivide it. But before adding subdivision you need to remove double vertex from geometry.

You could try something like this. Some triangles are unavoidable, but it holds up reasonably well.

Hi John thanks for your response. This is exactly what I want.
Can you please tell me how you created the triangle? Is it built on a plane? If so how?
Then is the fabric just done the with a subdivide the same as doing it on a regular flag?
