flag help!

[Albacore]

DW88 if you come back have a look at this tut as it will give you a bit more info on what you can do. Looking at your Spur's drawing drawing which you posted you could start off using say the Arc Warp and then move to the curtain tut using the proper Gradient Mesh Tool. Have a look here: http://www.vectordiary.com/illustrat...istic-curtain/
Come back again if you want more help.

Thanks again for your responses guys..

I started with an arc as suggested by albacore, its starting to take shape & its looking ALOT better. I'm adding some extra mesh to get more control over the flag (no shading like your tutorial yet though) - Its much better than in my previous post but I still need to play around alot more with it to get it as I want it but just wanted to let you know how I'm getting on..

Perhaps once I finally get something I'm happy with I will post the result

Hi dw88—

If these are of any help, we have two tutorials on Xara Xone covering mapping text and other design elements to cloth:

Creating text that flows along a cloth surface

Using a plug-in to make a waving flag

My Best,

I believe the member is trying to do this in Illustrator OG.

The tutorials can be adapted, OG, for Illustrator.

Just tossing my 2 pence in.
