  • Emit planes that bend around plane, waterfall of paper

    Posted by Josh Van praag on July 29, 2008 at 3:34 pm

    I am looking to create a waterfall of paper. I have had limited success with using long strings of planes and bend deforming them at the top and bottom of the waterfall (EG the waterfall on the steps in the DK Finish Line spot). However, the ideal solution is some type of particle emission using many planes. No problem creating the emitter, just have no idea how to not only turn the particles 90 degree, but also bend accordingly. Should I be aiming for thinking particles?

    if you mean something literally like the dk spot, only the texture needs to be animated. The ‘falls’ can be an unmoving piece of geometry and the texture (with alpha) moves. A *grossly* simplified example
