Right on, Noodles!!! I think it's doable. Just make sure you model the
geometry from something other than a grid. With the way that cloth calculates
the bend and skew (assuming you're working with syflex), I think you might get
better results if you have one edge running down the middle lengthwise, and
then a few more crosswise. If you use a grid, I think you'll just fight
endless battles to get rid of the "crumpling" effect. I've made tons of paper
on accident because I didn't have the right topology. :-P
Hope it helps,
Lu

I don't have any experience with this sort of thing, but might you try cloth?
I think it may be a bit tough to get that kind of subtle motion with soft
/rigid bodies...

Hi all
Ive got to do 5-10 sheets of paper quickly flying out of a cabinet drawer.
They then slow down and fall/flutter down to the ground.(like paper)
Now I suck at animating these by hand, so I thought maybe path constraints,
with timed movements along the curve. However didn't turn out amazing.
Can XSI rigid/soft bodies do this at all?
Anyone got any tips?
