Hi, i wanted to create flowers falling from the sky. I use nparticle to emit the flowers from a plane object. The result is that it looks too stiff. Then i tried adding ncloth to the instancer object but it doesn't work well.

Any ways to create a semi realistic falling flowers that glides softly in the air and lands gently like a cloth?
