i'm trying to create a tattered flag and use it in sub-d mode for motion designer, but i can't find a way to cut the holes and tears into the flag so motion designer won't take so long to simulate it. what can i do?

you could use a trans map to make the holes in it if you do not wish to model them.sort of like this

that worked. now i feel stupid. i over-contemplate too much when there is a simple solution. thanks for the help.

np man glad i could help.
