I did something exactly like this several years ago. If I can
recall correctly, I had an animated cylinder inside the roll
as a collision object, to help move the roll along, because
the self-collision messes it up big time without it. Also this
was pre-ICE, which could be a better solution for something
like this, but try it first, it might do the trick, otherwise
I wouldn't simulate it.
I had a similar problem recently with a project, an unfurling
carpet of grass with a garden rolled up in it, but it needed
to look billowy and light like a parachute or a deflated hot
air balloon, it also had to roll up over itself since you
could see it from the side in some shots, so it need to get
smaller as it unrolled. Simulation just wasn't going to cut
it, so I used a spiral curve to create the roll, lattices for
larger sections of animation, ICE nodes for collision with the
ground and turbulence, with a bunch of weight maps animated
along with it. I think I might have even thrown in a wave or
two. The setup took longer, but I could make changes in speed,
wave size and turbulence in minutes as opposed to what it
would have taken noodling with a simulation.

This is the spot it was used for.

Afternoon All,
I'm trying to unfurl a banner down the side of a
building.. something a bit like this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI8ccSGghRY
it needs to be quite a bit longer than the one in the
video.. but hopefully you get my meaning
I've tried doing using Syflex and the basic cloth.. the
main problem I have is rolling it up to release it..
I've tried a rolled up grid, I've tried rotating.. but
with out much luck
The self collision seems to mess it up.
I know in 2012 you can use Syflex in ICE.. but I only have
2010
Can anyone give me some pointers on how to do this...
Any help would be greatly
cheers
