'flag' effect

This is experiment with plugin with "flag" special effect. (Curtains by AlphaPlugins)
What do you think about it? Any thoughts are very important.

Does anybody know the same effect by other means?

Nice effect except 'tis distorted out of recognition.

Here I did the first in Xara Xtreme and the second in Xara using Alien Skin's Gif FX

Distorted using a 3D program. The pic was mapped to a subdivided plane, then wave deformed a couple of times.

Although it is quite distorted it is still useful if you have a chrome reflection in its own environment and not one of the reflections built in to say EyeCandy.

I took this image http://www.tqchem.com/canada%20flag.jpg and turned it into a waving flag with a gradient, displace, and distort in about a minute. Who needs a third party plug-in for this when you use Photoshop.

I'm aware though that you could have been using a different program that also accepts Photoshop plugins.
