Creating the simulation
Now that all the objects in the scene are here, we can create the simulation. Before we do that, though, we have to do a few things:
- Select the two rope objects and then the flag object. Then, press Ctrl + J or Cmd + J or go to Object | Join; this will join those two objects together as one so that our simulation will work properly.
- Next, let’s add a Wind force field to the scene. To do this, press Shift + A | Force Field | Wind.
- Head over to the Physics panel and set Strength to
5000. We need quite a high strength value for the cloth to move around. Next, set Flow to0and Noise Amount to5, which will give us more variation in the wind!

- Rotate the wind force field 90 degrees so it’s pointed in the direction of the flag.

Now, let’s create the cloth simulation!
