I have a zip file of some that I've left hidden on my website:

www.centralsj.org/flags.zip

These are free animatiosn that I collected from a couple of sources. They are quite good (I can say that since I didn't do them <g>).

Tom

were they completely royalty free? I need to know if I decide to use them in a presentation, because these are saome of the best flag clips I've ever seen.

Farss,

thanks mate

cheers

Hiyah jamcas!

Sundance Site - you'll need to sign-up - yeah?

Grazie

Sorry I don't have the URL, but I seem to recall they were done by someone in the US goverment in which case they would be royalty free.
I certainly remember there was no copyright notice anywhere near them.

Yeah these waving flags are great, thanks tserface for posting them, also thanks to Grazie and Farss for your responses.

Im now looking for the same things with an australian flag, and a red/white chequered flag. got either of those ?


I made up an image or red and white chx, ill try some things in the sundance forums i learnt about in this thread to produce something.

cheers and thanks lot !

Hey cobber this is Australia!

Can you see anyone here doing something like that?
I've occassionally needed flags for various videos and outside of the USA no country seems to think themselves worthy of having their flag flown in a video.

Maybe a phone call to the PMs media dept is in order, time they actually did something for the country.

Hey farss - where in Oz are you? I'm in Hobart.

I've often had to make flags for TVCs and the likes. I've got a pretty standard flag setup in Lightwave, just a matter of applying the appropriate image map to the mesh and re-rendering.

If you haven't found one by the weekend, leave a note for me in here and I'll knock one up.

Cheers

I'm in Sydney, still haven't been able to make it down to to Hobart yet.

Thanks for the offer, I'm OK for flags at the moment. I make it a point when I'm travelling now to get some video of the countries flag flying if I can.

I was once able to find somewhere in the ether the national anthems of most countries but high quality graphics of the countries flags no way.

BTW how do you find Lightwave, that's a pretty expensive bit of gear from memory.

Lightwave is good. Price isn't too bad these days. All 3D packages are getting a bit more affordable than they were at one stage ...

I use 3DSMax here where I'm contracting, but prefer Lightwave, especially for modelling. Max has very good character animation though, which is why we changed over from Lightwave. I still model here in Lightwave then convert the basic models over to Max for rigging and animation.

Cheers
