Creating a Waving Flag Animation in Fusion

Yes, Fusion can do this too.

If you’re creating motion graphics or VFX and you want an animated cloth or flag simulation, that can be done right in the Fusion page of DaVinci Resolve.

This is a great example of the power of a few creative uses of texture and 3D nodes.

Pay close attention to how just a few changes to Displace and FastNoise nodes can great a cool-looking animated texture to any image plane.

These principles can be applied to create anything from smoke, to clouds, to water, and more.
