Paper Airplane Rig

Director John Kahrs key-animated paper airplanes to show how they perform to push the character. From his test, I deconstructed the paper airplanes' motion, and analyzed the rules to design a paper airplane rig. In order to make them look alive, I added stretch & squash and bending deformation options in the paper airplane rig. Instancing particles contained deformation controls and I made them drive instanced paper airplanes' deformation.
