Hi, I am having a problem with my current project.

I have a character in my scene dancing arround and I would like to create falling feathers so that when the character moves her arms the fethers blow arround.

I have made the feather map on a plane so that is Ok and I tried using a PArray emitting the feathers however I can't seem to get the movement right so they are swaying side to side, as it just looks like rain at the moment.

I want them to flow like feathers and be a lot more variated than they are. I put up the chaos and variation but not had much look.

Has anyone got any ideas that would really help as I am completely stuck,

thanks

im a noob.. but.. cant you let them follow i spline.. / line

like.. you can do with a cam..

so you just make.. one animation of how the feather falls..or 3.. for variation..and than let them fall down a spline..

so you can edit the spline so.. that than the feather twirles around the character.. or looks like it blows away..
