Flag Warp

[tawnkramer]

Hi everybody,
I need some help and ideas to make a new job ---> this one http://badee.be/fxshare/Warping.mov
The job consist to replace a cover who is on a wall.
The cover is drawed upwards by wire. So there is a lot of folds (like in a flag)
For the shoot they print on the cover a lot of cross who represent a grid. It's like a square of 7 cross
So i can track each cross an re-create the displacement of the cover.
But i don't know how attach the tracking info to a Warping Grid or to the mesh of card 3d (in bicubic deform).
Or maybe there is another way to accomplish the job
Maybe create a displacement map or something else.
Thanks for the any solutions
oh yes i also need to recreate the shadow of the folds. Any tricks

i am not really sure you can input the information of a tracker in each of your deformation point, i did't find any area to drop the coordinates info in the grid warp. But your shot is not long, you can probably place the grid warp points by hand frame by frame.
The other solution will be to do a 3d flag, that will give you all the creases you want and a better result i think..

cheers
