Thanks Sean. I have tried some bone configurations, though I didn't mention that it's a full screen BG effect, so there's some loss of impact by not seeing the edges of the mesh. Basically, I found that I needed to enhance the look of a displacement mapped poly mesh, so that the seeing the warping effect was not totally dependant on the diffusion and specular settings. So, I've settled for a displacement mesh, and diffusion mapped an image of some fabric that looks appropriate, plus a few bones for some irregularity. It's a four second loop, and seem to work pretty good. I noticed that the client had an example of the effect, and it was clearly slo-mo film footage of some fabric, so I told them it'll cost extra to get that effect exactly. I have a feeling they'll like what I've done! :-> As well the animation in the foreground is fairly complex, so I should be able to sell them on a more understated effect. It's cranking out now, with shadow-mapping on the foreground objects. (Whoa! Long render times!) Thanks for your help! Cheers! Trent/ReAnimators
