This is more of a 3d question, but here goes.

Anyone know how to make a bunch of strings come together by themselves to form a piece of cloth? .this is going to be for a title bar for a documentary on a loomer and weaver. When she's first introduced, I want to have these strings weave a cloth on which her name is on, then unravel itself after being on screen for about 4 seconds. any help/starting points would be greatly appreciated. If it makes any difference, I will be using Maya...was thinking paintfx might be an answer, but i've never used it before, so I don't even know what it's capable of. Thanks!
 
Would a real cloth unraveling work? Run it in reverse for first part and then forward for the second part.


This is going to take some real aniamtion work no matter what technique unless you're just revealing the threads of weave.
