Trent, I am about to blurt out an untried idea, but I think my ego can take the hit if it don't work… You might try applying nine bones – three sets of three in vertical columns- to your rectangle of fabric. Animate the really big, sweeping billows with the movement of bones and then apply the smaller fractal displacement map along with an enveloped velocity for the smaller secondary ripples. (oops, forgot that you can't envelope velocities yet… well, if you wanted speed variations, you could clone the whole thing, bones and all, and use a different velocity on the clone for morphing purposes… pain in the butt solution, though) Lemme know if I'm blowin' in the wind, or just full of same.
