      Your geekness is excused. I actually kinda knew that. . .(not! 😳 ) but we cuzzins over here on this side of the pond just call it the Union Jack regardless.

      thanks for the feedback Pete. .. I will check the image type. I suspected that was it.

        Now our state just needs to come up with a better design.

            Shouldn't I have [i.e. projected the UJ]? That's what I thought I was s'posed to do!

            No, I mean that's what I'd've done as well. Maybe if the big wave wasn't right in the middle of the flag, it wouldn't be so apparent.

            Cool game however! πŸ‘

              It occured to me thru all of this that perhaps the most efficient way to do with is with a Face Me clipmap and call it good. although these flags are only about 250K each.

              Pause and discuss. . . πŸ’š

                Face me is a good idea - this way you can make sure that the wind seems to be blowing from the same direction for all the flags (should you decide to use more in a scene).

                      Hey David, how about an overkill.

                      I give you the curtain flag.

                            Thanks Urgen. You know I tried using SSB as you did but I dont get the results. when I select a rectangle and skin it. It shows a grid, but then when I apply a pressure, it asks for a selection first but doesn't maintain it or whatever and the grid disappears . .. it's all very confusing.

                            D

                                David, I made a tutorial for Jeff (Click Draw) a while back. Check it out and see if it helps.

                                  I just had a "D'oh!" moment again. (I get those a lot)

                                  I was goofing up at the Skin step. I guess it would draw a "PREVIEW" Skin but in order for it to take, I had to hit enter again and it would "Generate" it. and from there I could draw the bulgies. Thanks. That helped a lot.

                                  Now back to making Flags and Pennants!
