Creating a looping flag animation in Max?

Nash · Dec 2008

Hi everyone, I've done a search on these boards but couldn't find what I'm looking for.

Any unfortunately, Google wasn't my friend today because the only useful tutorials I found are not for Max.

I basically want to create a looping flag animation using the Cloth modifier. The modifier is applied to a plane. This flag model is to be exported for a game and I have absolutely no idea how to make the flag loop seamlessly...

Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks...

You're going to want to use Cloth to make morph targets, or attach some bones to the surface of the cloth. Define some key poses every couple frames, and loop it manually... there's no way for a sim to loop correctly, though it may be possible something in Max contains an override to fake it.
