Click to view it. It's a lot heavier than the previous one because it's now dithered to give a smoother effect, but you wouldn't place an animation that large on the front page of a website anyway.

And it's still just six frames, all manipulated using the Mold tool. The whole thing was done without reference to an actual waving flag, so there's no doubt at all it could be improved upon. But, as with everything in this thread, that's the province of the author, not the software.

Would I like to see an improvement in the Mould tool? Yes. Does the current one stop me getting my hands dirty and creating what I want to create?

HELL NO. ( <-- that was me speaking Texan )
