Need advice using Physics to shoot confetti

#1

I suppose I would need to use particles + Physics to animate shooting of confetti in the air, right?
Can someone confirm this and point me in the right direction?

Thnks in advance guys :slight_smile:

You can use a particle system. I’ve attached a simple blend that fires in the air a simple shape that comes to rest on the ground plane. Press alt+A or play in a timeline.

The particle settings allow to to adjust no. of particles and instead of showing them as an object they can be from a group of objects so you can have different shapes.
