  Simulating falling paper?

  Posted by Ryan Perera on June 14, 2008 at 2:16 am

  Is there any plugins out there that may simulate falling paper. The effect I’m going for is something similar to this…

  I have a composition that has both sides of the paper in 3d space, I just need it to be animated falling down with realistic paper physics.

  Thanks in advance,
  Ryan

  Easeir to print the paper, tear it up and shoot it with a high speed camera.
  Shatter will do some of this, even apply a back layer, but realistic physics? No.
  You need a 3D application that does particles.

  This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

  Andrew Kramer has an upcoming tutorial where he does a flying paper effect – Look at his blog at https://www.videocopilot.net/blog/?p=196 – Looks like it was done using CC Particle World and the Motion Square particle type. Not exactly what you’re looking for but maybe a good place to start?
