Let's take the flag of Germany as an example, because the flag is way quite simple and its waving state can be easily drawn "manually". But I am asking about general flag (the flag of any country/group, even the flag of my team).

This answer has the codes for many flags, out of which I picked Iceland. (Note that if the flag contains shapes, you need to say transform shape nonlinear=true
.) The shading can be added on top.

In order to draw a 3d flag, you may use tikz-3dplot
.
With shade
you can get something like this.

I'm afraid this only answers the bonus question, for flags of Germany, Netherlands, etc. only. How can it deal with, for example, the US flag?

@JouleV I switched gears completely and used nonlinear transformations. That way you can wave any flag you have the TikZ code for.

In order to draw a 3d flag, you may use tikz-3dplot
.
With shade
you can get something like this.
documentclass[tikz]standalone
usepackagetikz-3dplot
definecolorgerblaRGB0,0,0
definecolorgerredRGB255,0,0
definecolorgeryelRGB255,204,0

foreach X [count=Y] in gerbla,gerred,geryel

I'm afraid this only answers the bonus question, for flags of Germany, Netherlands, etc. only. How can it deal with, for example, the US flag?

@JouleV I switched gears completely and used nonlinear transformations. That way you can wave any flag you have the TikZ code for.
