    I have not animated it flying. However. Everything is parented to a 3D null. If you move or scale or rotate the null, the plane follows. Plus the folds in the plane are controlled by expressions. the first fold needs to be finished before the 2nd and so forth. All you do to manipulate the paper is keyframe the 4 expressions on the control layer.

    That is great – I opened the project and understand what’s going on, but would love to have at least a short narrative as to how you approached it. This type of effect can always be useful (thinking of packages being wrapped, letters folded for mailing, etc…).

    Thanks for sharing!
