Date Completed: Saturday April 9, 2005 Instructor: Rodney (a true patriot) and that guy on the web tutorials pretty used to the new web guy by now Remarks/Suggestions for Improvement: Patriotism should speak of itself.

Admin Rodney Posted April 9, 2005 Author Admin Posted April 9, 2005 Very good Den! I think very shortly we'll have to add the instructions to do the same exercise with v12 cloth. It will be a good way to test the differences of the two technologies. One more to go...eeekk! I'm working on your certificate now so whatever you do... don't quit!!! Quote
tommyj1112 Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Name: Tom Jansen Exercise: #18 Waving the Flag Date: May 10, 2005 Comments: I rendered this before adding sound, so I should have re-rendered this so that it ends at a better spot in the music. But you get the idea. Here's my clip: http://cybersummit.org/AM/Ex18_Flag.mov At ease! Tommy Quote

(Been around since the Playmation days ) Remarks/Suggestions for Improvement: I added a bone to the flag model and selected all the pole control points for that bone. Then in choreography, I chose the flag and added a new constraint of rigid body. When the cloth was simulated it bounced off the pole! Exactly what I wanted it to do! Only two more to go for certification... YAY! WavingTheFlag.mov Quote
rossk Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Name: Ross Klettke Exer completed: 18 Date completed: 1-24-06 remarks-- I really think this exercise should be lengthened a few pages in the manual to explain more indepth all the options provided for simCloth. Other than that, all is good. flag.mov Quote

Leo73 Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Nice John. I like the adding of the airplane. My only crit would have been to add some rotation to the propeller and when the plane goes by the flag, have it react to the air current that would displace the flag. Over all good job, Keep it up your almost done. Quote
stinkyu111 Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Name: Stephen Molloy exercise # 18 waving the flag Date: April 18 2006 Instructor: web video remarks: i tried V12 cloth waving the flag, but could get it of the ground (sort of speaking) the collation rate was giving me errors so here's V11 Flag_movie.mov Quote

JohnnyB Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Exercise 18: Waving The Flag (Cloth) John Bailey September 4, 2006 I finally got that Jolly Roger flying. I used simcloth (Shear stiffness 55, Air drag 0, Bend Angle damping 0, Shear/Stretch damping 0) with a Force (width 60cm, Fall off 200cm, and a magnitude of 300%). I wanted to see the whole flag stand out almost straight and all of these parameters finally gave me four of them after much experimentation. I had to use constraints on Shaggy. I'll play around some more with grouping. I'm really interested in that concept. http://media.putfile.com/Pirates-of-Cape-May [attachmentid=20256] Whew! one more to go. JohnnyB Quote
Admin Rodney Posted September 4, 2006 Author Admin Posted September 4, 2006 For going above (literally!) and beyond the call of duty on this one I'm proud to present to you this little word: outstanding Great job! Quote
Dhar Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Rodney, do you agree that the class of '06 is the most outstanding class so far? I sure think so. Quote
Tralfaz Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Name: Al Dinelt Exercise Completed: Exercise 18: Waving The Flag (Cloth) Date Completed: December 11, 2006 Instructor: TAoA:M Thought I would have a bit of fun with this exercise. I couldn't figure out how to slow down the flag, so I ended up taking the rendered video into Sony Vegas, using slow motion on the clip. Yeehaw! Just one more tutorial to go, then off to bootcamp!

Leo73 Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Excellent job Al. Congrats on finishing up. Good luck with the bootcamp. Quote
Caroline Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Name: Caroline Begbie Exercise: Exercise 18 - Waving the Flag Date Completed: 6th January 2007 Aided By: TechTalk SimCloth movie - interesting viewing, as I was getting the same error as is discussed. I wanted to post the link to it, but it appears to be broken for the moment. Note to self: Add to list, to find out how to make material softer, so flag is not so stiff. CheckeredFlag.mov Quote
elliotclem1 Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Like the cars apart from shaggy is bigger than them. Quote
Caroline Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 You're absolutely right, Elliot - I posted too late, difficult to get the angles when using the background as a flat rotoscope, had eyes closed - there are 100 excuses, but there's no real excuse. When I showed my son, he said exactly the same thing , and that I should always go through him first before I post. Lesson learned. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted January 12, 2007 Author Admin Posted January 12, 2007 I'm a fan of the scale as shown. The tiny cars are so cute. Quote
Dhar Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Oh kay, where did she get the racing track from? I don't have it on my CD? How come? huh? huh? huh? How come I don't got what she got? huh? huh? huh? Great job Caroline. I'm really impressed how quickly you took on A:M. Fabulous Quote
