Assuming this is the intention, I would suggest pre-baking the animation into bones, and using skinning to animate the meshes. This is highly performant, but not interactive. To do this you could create the initial mesh…
To add some subtle wind-like rippling animation, I would suggest using a normal map of fabric ripples, and scrolling this across the surface, masking it to reduce as it nears the edges (perhaps using vertex color as the mask). Do you have some reference video of what you're aiming to achieve? Super-essential I think, to…
Hello ! Always loving the JuniorSenior avatar :) Along the lines of the suggestions from the Great Eric, and considering that the goal is an actual game asset for UE, then simply start by modeling a first version of the final polygon game asset of the tent at rest. Garment making tools may be useful to an extent since they…
