Hi, I need to make some country flags for a game. I don't have much experiencie animating models, I only animate with bones and simple frame keys in max.
For a low poly flag, what method do you think is the best?
morph? bones? or I can make vertex position animation?
regards

If it's really low poly (like 3 or 4 vertice long * 2 or 3 vertice large), you can update the vertice coordinates in the loop. it should be faster than a skinned stuff.

If it's not "that' low poly, then it will require some benchmark to check the limit of vertice before the bone system is better.

Yes, maybe with 32 vertexs i can use vertexcoords, but is the best method?

Regards!
