John B from Germany asked for a way of infinite unfolding and i came up with this idea.
This is not something final of course but its a rough presentation of the effect.I hope John B likes that :)
So, Here is the result
And Here is the project file

Hi Michalis !
First of all, tanks for your tutorials, I’ve been watching them for a while and they are very useful, specialy this one about the infinite unfolding effect, I was needing it for a project of media arts, its a video mapping ovar a digital sculpture, any ways, who asked me, hehe.
What I wanted to coment is two things, the first is to remember you that when you are duplicating the same object many times, it’s much easier and faster to do it with the SHIFT+R comand.
And the second thing is a question, if you don’t mind: How yo do to rotate the objects in one desired direction when the rotation is 180 degrees, there is no mater when the rotation is for example 30º cause the final position of the object is diferent depending on the direction of the rotation, but in the case of 180º the result is the same if it is positive or negative rotation so when you animate it you only set the final keyframe and it seems that you loose the control over the direction of the rotation. I have always had this problem in many projects and I solve it, but I never find out what is hapening, or how does it work and the correct way to do it. Hopefully you could give me a tip. Thanks
