(free) low polygon flags

no, it's a deformation object (wind modifier, "flag"-flag set, simulating a 67m big piece of cloth with an amplitude of 7m at a frequency of 10 Hz with oriented object origin

@ grimber: i need to find an efficient way to export it to mdl. the only way up to now seems to be a frame-by-frame export to 3ds, which can be a quite annoying process with exactly 99 frames

should beablt to trim the frames down 1/3 to 1/5 the number without loosing the animation.

if you want, can just zip up all the .3ds frames I can play with converting it

i won't be there over the weekend, so expect it on monday.

Hi,

you can add more smoothness to the flag and get better motion results. but on the other hand then you cant use it for rts games anymore:

higher polycount video

i personaly prefer flags that move quite a bit in the wind. flags in reality flap and jump arround and dont move as smooth as you made it. but tahts just a matter of taste.
thats why i add horizontal and vertical movement and mix them by weight.


!!! i have added the pole to the pack. just redownload it and it is included "flagpole.mdl". !!!

cheers and have a nice one

I've only made one 3D model in my life, and it looks crap. It's only that arrow thing you see in WED and MED.

I can try, but I might not get it right. I like the one on the picture. But I can always try to make my own...

Canada???

I like these. I've been looking for a replacement flag for one of my levels.
Thanks for sharing them.

-->..Canada???...

c´mon...only countries! nothing made up!

I will update the skins in a short time so if anyone has another request this would be the time.

btw.: would conitec allow a gs flag??

glad you like it. i will also add another more smooth version with the next update for those who need more detail.

cheers and have a nice one

as i promised, the 3dgs flag, model with stripped-daown animation will come later this eve:



i finally decided to close the mesh, so that stencil shadows can be used.

Cool! Can you link us to a download

umm... well, the conversion gives me a LOT of trouble... i spent 2 hours with finding out that the wind deformer creates only a virtual object. the website with a converter to PLA is currently down... bad. i almost resigned.

well, to present at least a small thing, i exported 20 frames by hand in the 3ds format and glued them together in MED, which was an awful thing to do. plus, 20 frames of an original 100 frames long animation makes it look... hm, .. simple.

when the PLA conversion tool is online again, i will surely load up a better version. up to now, you will have to take this:

low quality animation mdl flag

so, i uploaded the final version, there's a very small jerk at the looping point, but from a certain distance it is unnoticable. hope you like the much smoother, polygon-optimized version 2:

Flag2.mdl

Thanks, it looks great

That small jerk in animation is actually a tiny jerk

Sorry to double post, but can some make me skins for the flags. I need PALESTINE, CUBA and AFGHANISTAN in same size and format as the others.

Will you...?

just do a google image search on the flags get the image then scale it down to the

for Blattsalat flag the skin size is 256x128
for DaBro0zar flag the skin size is 256x256

such as, here are 2 flag iamges resized ready to use on Blattsalat's flag model.

Nato

North Dakota


many websites can be found with flag images. Afganistan I did a search on it and found 5 differnt national flags for that country alone

Thanks, these images are cool. But they are too perfect The other ones you can see the shadows in some places.

Maybe I can create the flag images myself in Photoshop, and just google of an image to relate to

new updates on blattsalat.com means new updates here

the small flag update:

new flags



cheers and have a nice one

NIce i realy like the war torn ones

glad you like it

i forgot to add the usa_b flag:
torn usa flag bmp

cheers

WOW, thanks a bunch

These are great, it's got every one I need and with a burnt version

is it basicly a cloth/fabric filter and then doing some mask/subtracting.

was looking at some US civil war flags ( mabey some revolutionary flags as well ) to make war torn look

some nice flags then look for a good mechanic system for reinacting miniture battles ( then make some unit and building models) would make a nice TBS stratagy game

big fan of the old classic "north&south" (loved the sleeping mexican assasin).

here are the acw flags. not sure if all are accurate and the fact that every state had at least 20 different flags at the same time makes it a little difficult



american civil war flags zip file

cheers

also have you a white flag??????

when i download the flags it sais its an unkown file type and wont load ??

Its a rar file. Youll need winrar to unzip them.. Get it here

Its a free trial version... however once the time period expires it still works just get a nag screen every once and awhile.

ahh yeah i fixed it

thnx

hmm then maybe the file got corrupted some how maybe try downloading again. I just downloaded it before posting and worked perfectly fine

LOL you changed ur post as I was replying

More free flags

Thanks a lot!

Sorry to double post, but I have one little request.

Can you make a United Nations flag? Please. Then I will never bother you again

Very nice textures for the flags.
thanks for the good Contribut.

GG Nicolas

United Nations?

Google is your freind

Just save one and open it in your favorite image editing program and resize it... You could add a little dirt by adding some noise and so on.... Just expeirment

Hi,

here you go:
un flags

cheers

Dont ever let it be said that your an unkind man

Hi Blattsalat.

Nice flags.
Do you ahve any off Portugal? I just need one of Portugal to complete the set. Or how can I add those effects over the flag texture? Not the dirt one.
Thanks.

The steps required to achieve this effect are these: The effect is a simple black layer above the layer with the flag on it (in photoshop), then simply use cool brushes and erase certain parts of the black layer, to make those parts of the flag visible ... After some fun with nice brushes, voíla a flag that looks ripped apart,

Cheers

Hi,

you can get the portugese flag here:
portugal flag bmp

cheers

Thank you.

have you got a blank png file with all the layers so we can make our own flags?
thanks

sorry no. this requires several photoshop layers to work.
but you could use the blank white flag and blend your needed flag onto it.

cheers

i'm more interested in how u got it to wave like that, it would be also really cool if you could fix up that glitching at the end a bit, not that it matters... thanks regardless

mine's animated using the wind modifier in c4d and fiddling along with the values.
