Is it possible for 2 objects to be attached together but both objects are animated differently? In other words, I am designing a flag that's falling off a tower, and I want to make the cloth part of the flat ripple as it falls while it is attached to the pole which is also falling.
Thats actually really simple. Just Parent your flag to your pole with Ctrl+P. Use pinning in the cloth settings and use Rigid Bodies for the pole or just animate it.
