This kind of stuff is quite easy to do with blender and I think it looks pretty cool.

easy to do with blender

Can you render it with flagpole as gif image with transparent background?

Can you render it with flagpole as gif image with transparent background?

Sure, let me try.  I'll remove the sky and I'll set dimensions to 160x90

I'm not very happy with the lightning either (too many shadows).  I'll try something else.

Finally I made it 160x160.

For some reason I can't manage to prevent the frames from stacking up.

PS.  Ok I get it but I have to regenerate.  Wait a sec...

PS#2.  Ok, here it is:




Pretty neat, isn't it? 

Here is the blender file, for those who are interested:

Awesome. Thanks!

The same stuff but a bit smaller and smoother:



PS.  I think it worths adding a bitcoin address in case someone would like to donate to reward this work:

PS#2.  I suck at licensing stuffs but I'd like to allow people to use it without too many restrictions.
I guess all I have to do is to say that I've made this with blender, ImageMagick, Gimp and the bitcoin logo we can see on Wikipedia.

I hope it's fine.

Ahhh.   I think I've found the source of the waving flag I've totally "stollen"... :-)

We're thinking of using it on BitcoinMe.com

Please send me an email so we can briefly discuss it.  ( I might never find this thread again. )     :-)

@bruce:  There is not much to discuss, really.  I tried to release it on CC-BY license,  but maybe I should have tried to publish it on public domain.

It's not a big deal, just do whatever you want with this file.   You can also search "blender flag" on google video.  You'll see it's quite easy to do it yourself.
