Vertex Animated Flags

A variety of naturally animated flags, for Games or Archviz. Wind Strength can be adjusted and animated between for every asset. Requires no additional project setup, all animation playback takes place in the material. Plug and play.

This asset pack contains a variety of flags for your game or archviz project.

The assets are normal static meshes, the animations are pre-calculated using cloth simulations, and playback is done trough the asset's material.

Because of this, the flags have a minimal performance impact, and do not require any additional project setup!

Each flag comes with a set of template textures.

The wind strength of the flags can transition between windless (a resting pose) to calm, to heavy.

This value can be blended between.

Number of Materials and Material Instances (excluding example content):

• All flags share one of 2 master materials.
• All supporting assets use a simple "ORM"-style material, 2 instances.

Number of Textures:

• 42 (excluding example content)
