Hi,

I have an old project somewhere that uses wave world and caustics to prod= uce a nice looking flag, both are standard plugins with cs3.  I really l= ove the look of the caustics plugin and I often use it instead of a displace= ment map.  It will take me a few days to dig the project out but have a= play with wAve world and see how you go...

It seems my opt= ions are thus:
upgrade to AE5.5 for $949 to get FreeForm
get Zaxwerks 3DFlag for $199

FreeForm Pro is not a= vailable for Mac it seems which is too bad as the mettle products look super= cool. FreeFormAE is no longer available from DigiEffects now it is bundled w= ith AE CS5

Are there nay other options available to= me that I missed? Is FreeForm worth the extra outlay (aside from the other o= bvious benefits to CS5.5). There is not a huge budget to this project and th= e flag element is one of hundreds. Trying to be economical and judicious.
