Book cover transition

RonR wrote on 2/18/2004, 10:12 AM

I am simulating a title on a stiff book cover which I want to open to reveal the contents inside. All the transitions I have been able to find involve some form of roll or curl. Can anybody guide me to a stiff page turn?
Thanks, RonR

You'll probably need the 3DLE plugin pack from Satish. It's available free from http://www.debugmode.com

Great little thing! You'll wonder how you ever managed without it.

You need 2 things:

1st a video that shows a hard cover book turning open. This video must have a alpha channel in it, or it will be quite difficult to show the video "inside" it.

2nd the 3d LE from debugmode that guy just mention. you use it to put the video in the right place, right size and right angle so the video looks like it's right under the cover and stick to the book page.

There is no transition for a "book opening", you need to use the above 2 to simulate a transition like that.

There's a book page turning VEG over on the COW forum. Forget who did it, someone did.

It isn't that hard to do, just a little work to get the shadow on the pages right to make it look more realistic. For best results use track motion and the 3D filter in combination.
