Any software for animating a bitmap as a FLAG?

I need to animate in a realistic way a bitmap as a flag, but I don't know any program to do that. I've searched through the internet, and I always read about FLAGIMATION, but everywhere I try to download it from, it doesn't work. In their main website (http://www.pegtop.de/tools.htm), they say it's not available yet... ??? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif[/img]

Could anyone help me, please? Thx.

I really like that one!
But the problem is that I don't want any flag,
only the program for making them...
The reason is because it's a really specific bitmap what I want to animate.

I want a program similar to the standard Windows ScreenSaver "3D Objects" where you can choose a texture bitmap and animate it as a flag, but without de displacement all around the screen.

Thanks.

but the Xenofex flag plugin might help (see below for URL) but the package costs $129. You'd have to design the images, filter them and then make a sequence but that;ll take you all of???

Alternatively, you might be able to use "Jama3D" which is free, to be found at

If you look at the following message board, someone recommends Ulead-Gif

I'd be interested to hear what you do

It's been dead for seven years, but PIXAR Typestry can animate ANY bitmap as a flag. I created an American flag for my site after 911 NYC, and it was very, very realistic.

Free education! The Writings Web site
and the updated GaryWorld Gallery is pretty okay, too.

I looked around and didn't see anything free and customisable enough too, so I wrote my own. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I can send you a Python script that will write a whole load of VRML files (one for each frame), which you can adjust to have the camera pointing where you want. You will then need a suitable VRML viewer and the patience to screenshot each frame and paste them together.

Not for the faint-hearted, but the results were good!
