Good animating flags?

I am looking for a good animating flag asset.

I bought one from TurboSquid but unfortunately it has multiple bone-roots and UE4 only supports one root so I cannot use it.

Anyone know of a good flag asset that they know work in UE4? Doesn’t have to be free.

I am having a really hard time finding a good animating flag asset. There’s physics-based ones in a couple of templates but I don’t want the heavy CPU load. Anyone?

Just download a static mesh and then create the “wind effect” in apex ->

&index=2

As long as you dont use them too much in your level you wont feel any big performance drops ^^

I am unsure whether it is CPU or GPU, but thought I would mention that in the Vehicle Game sample on Marketplace there is an example flag flying above the finish line that may be of use to you.

Yeah, you can do it just in the shader like the ones in Vehicle game. Unless you want a realistic flag where the character interacts with it.

Thanks guys. I used the sample flag from the vehicle game. I turned off dynamic shadows and it still looks good without it (better in my case as I can’t afford to have shadows to due to VR).

I saw the same flag in one of the content sample (templates) a month ago but I guess additional graphical was pulling down the performance which made me start looking elsewhere.
