I have some animation I have to do, perhaps you can help me with a technique.

How would I make grass, like tall stalks, sway back and forth as if the wind were gently blowing on it?


These grasses are in silhouette, and all one solid colour, I just want to make them sway, an ideas how this can be done, I'm looking for an easy way to do this, I have quite a few of these to do so I'm looking for something quick and easy to make it happen.

Ill be using it for a 2d side scrolling video game, so Ill be making a few of these so it needs to be a quick method would be best.

I use photoshop 7 and paint shop pro 7. But if anything else can do the job then I am open to it.

Thanks for your help.

I think a very quick way to do this is with the preset grassWind brush in Maya paintFX, would take about 30sec start to finish and is animated and loopable.
