Flags!

Step 1 - make a 3D flag.
I say Photoshop is cooler than GIMP

Attempt No.2 - Placed here just to compare.

BTW, I really like that effect. IMO it looks better than anything ive got with 3DS MAX.
 
Here is a Mughal flag. It has the traditional crescent and star on the hoist side and the shahada (Muslim profession of faith, "There is no g-d but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet") is on the fly. The dark green, white, and red are colors from some Indian naiton but I can't remember which one at the moment.

Pre-3D preview of my ideas for Finland.

As you can see, I used every bloody colour there and insist on using Nordic crosses. Personally, I prefer the second one.

And Finland is done.

Still have to experiment with the best way of shading the flags and stuff though. Opinions?
 
Nobody wants me to animate their flags and demonstrate GIMP superiority?
 
Israelite, I like the Tartanish design.. But try increasing the gamma/brightness a wee bit since it's a really drab thing right now.. Needs better lighting

Erik, with a name like gimp? Come on...
 
You mean, like you're ugly, yellow and curved? Come on yourself... you fascist oppressor.
 
@Isry: What flags should I prioritize? I'll start with Helvetii now.
 
Here is a new one. I brightened everything except the black and red. Oh, and I actually meant it to resemble knotwork, but I do see the tartan not that you mention it.



EDIT: @Erik- The new Helvetti, then the Mughal (I know I won't be using it but I still like it alot), and the new Provincial Israel (a couple pages back). But even one would be fine, I really don't care how many you do.
 
Much better now..
With either Photoshopping or Gimping, it should look mighty wicked.

Erik: Yellow? Curved? I find that a racist statement against Light Bulb! Plus, I'm a soft orange one :p
 
A soft orange banana? Yeuch.

Israelite, here's the first one.

I can set it to ripple slower, faster, more, or less. Maybe I could add a flagpole. You can grab a single frame out of this if you like. I can use the "Cloth-ify" setting, too (seen a few pages back) to make it look more like fabric.
 
Here is the animated Mughal flag. It flutters a bit faster. Some image quality was lost while saving to .gif, because I was in a hurry.

I have to go to bed now as it's 11:47, post your requests here and I should be able to do even better tomorrow.
 
I have time today, so here is another one for my NES. It is the Afghan empire, and do note that in the IsrNES2 timeline the Afgans invaded an conqueredmost of the Indus Valley, including Mohenjo-Daro and are thus heavily influenced by Indian culture and religion.
