wave plug?


Recommended Posts

I believe the wave plugin is intended for circular ripples on a water surface. It's like a bump map in that it doesn't actually move the CPs, it just creates shading that looks like ripples. It probably wouldn't be effective on a thin ribbon.

 

 

Can you show a picture of your ribbon situation?

That's good looking cloth!

 

If you need something graphically more simple you can rig a strip of patches with bones and animate them to create waves and rippling:

My 4-bone version is a bit lumpy but if you did that concept with 8 bones I think it would look smooth.

These would look great off in the distance but look synthetic up close.
