So I finally finished my one project that was supposed to be done about a month ago, but thanks to the I.T department they thought to fix a problem it would mean erasing everyone's saved data. We got notice of this at the last minute and I was away on a college tour the day we got told to back up everything. So when I got back everything was gone. And the best part doing that didn't fix the problem. But anyways here is a picture of the finished neighborhood.

So I have finished the flags waving and now have time to reflect on why the forces make everything seem more realistic. My flags are waving in the wind. This then makes the environment way more realistic. So without further please see the image below.
So over the year we have used many techniques.I have found that I like all of the forces and material editors the best because they take a unrealistic flag and bring it to life by simulating the wind. These may seem like small things but it is these tiny effects that make or break the scene. For instance texturing a house so it is not just a plain animated color an you make it look like a brick mansion, making the roof look like shingles.It is the Instead of me putting a neighborhood on a one color plane I select certain polygons and paint the roads and sidewalks. I also attached numbers to the houses and put odd numbers and even numbers on different sides to resemble how they would look on a actual street. The material editor is lovely because I can put textures on things such as the American Flag, I take a 3D plane and put on a cloth modifier which makes it act like cloth and then I open up the material editor and but the bitmap of the American flag on it. A bitmap is just a 2D image that you can place on a 3D object.So to recap the smaller effects and systems such as forces just really make the model look way more realistic.
