To play along, you’ll need to download this rope texture.

You’ll need:
1. Use Import Image as Plane, to import your flag image. In edit more, add one loopcut so you get two square faces.
2. Rotate the Plane so it’s vertical. Subdivide the Cloth 20 times (W>Subdivide>(Toolbar) amount: 20)
3. Add a wind object rotated across the flag:
4. Add a Vertex Group and set the left most edge to Weight: 1
5. Set the cloth to these settings:
6. Set up the cloth material like this:

Up until now, the way that I and many artists created tiles was like this:
It always produced poor results, because converting photos into maps (normal, glossy, reflection) is a guess. So getting the grout wrong, or missing important details like tile tilt is very common.
There are tile generators like RailClone for 3dsmax, that will physically model tiles, but they’re far from easy to use. Especially if you want a fast result.
Since no better solution existed, we created one at Poliigon.
Instead of photographing tiles then converting them to maps, we used Substance Designer to carefully create each tile material from scratch. Resulting in a collection of maps that are accurate and can be used in any 3d software.
There are 33 new tile materials, and in this tutorial you’ll discover how to use any of them to create gorgeous tiles in Blender, in seconds. (yeah yeah, the actual tutorial is 20 minutes, but that’s because I explain everything :P)
What you’ll need:
Step 1: This is the node setup:
Step 2: Change the Feature set to Experimental
Step 3: Add an Adaptive Subsurf modifier
Step 4: Set the Material Settings displacement to Both
