I needed a flag for a logo for some handouts. The logo was found on Wikimedia, but wasn’t legal to use so I needed to make the flag that was on it. The logo is for the P&O Steam Navigation Company, so we’re still in the pulp era, Operation: Fallen Reich.

This was the Logo I found, a replica but owned by someone.

So Lets start up Cheetah3D, and make a cylinder.

We stretch is as a flag pole, this will be the flagpole.

Now, we add a ball to the scene, and place it at the end of the pole.

Adding two built in textures, gold for the ball and silver for the pole. HDRI reflections are not seen in the modeler.

Now, we create a place, set subdivision to 20×30.

We need a flag now, so we create one in OmniGraffle.

Adding the flag texture to the plane, then using the magnet tool to make it a little wrinkled.

The flag image is now UV mapped to the plane, and we can render.

And here it is, a pretty neat flag I think.
