motion effects?

Hello,

I'm trying to create a three-color (basically three stripes) visual that resembles an up-close shot of fabric or a flag blowing in the wind.

Is there a video effect from which I can add "motion" to a still photo of said fabric or to media-generated colors?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Notin prticular, but how about getting some fabric and a fan. Connect the fabric loosely to four corners. Have the fan blow at the top and bottom surface.
Just a tip.

Something like the 4th sample in this clip? http://www.rchv.com/bgvids/ab08-demo.wmv

Kelly, what a brilliant way to illustrate the effect of height and displacement maps. If it isn't giving away any "trade secrets", how do you create your animated texture maps?

this is another one which i would point people to Particle Illusion.. i have many clients of differeing backgrounds, and to them their flags are VERY implrtant (especially serbs and croats)
Anywyas, for their weddings, i usually create a colour "light streak" effect... pretty amazing stuff considering its al done in realtime and i an animate every nuance of it..

I would rcomend PI to anyone interested in creating their own motion backgrounds. Its an invaluable tool, and the SE version is less than a hundred bux...
