About Creation Effects: 3D Flag

Creation Effects: 3D Flag is an After Effects template that converts an image, text, or video into a fabric flag that waves realistically in the wind. The effect is built entirely within After Effects, so no third‑party plugins are needed. It provides 3D flag curvature and oscillation that respond correctly to 3D camera moves, combined with 2D ripples and warping for a convincing simulation. Users can adjust gravity, wind speed, ripple shape, ripple speed, and flagpole colour through slider controls or keyframe animation. The package includes three flag resolutions up to 4K (4000 × 2000 px), a 3D flagpole with a metal sphere and shaking ropes, nine transparent 2D pole PNGs, 25 country flags, seven fabric textures, and five wind‑related sound effects. Custom images or textures of any shape can also be imported.

Compatibility: After Effects version 17.0 (2020) and later on Windows PCs and macOS. No plugins required. The template works in any language version of After Effects.
