Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 13, 2009 Hash Fellow Share Posted July 13, 2009 Just a little test for a bit I'm doing for someone else's project. Making book pages that don't turn like slabs of concrete: pageturntestMP4.mov the second shot shows the 4 bones the page mesh is attached to and the third shot shows the two bones that control the four bones. the first bone is animated directly the second Aims At the target bone the third and fourth bone are not pointed at the target, but are Oriented Like it 50% and 100% between the first bone and the target bone almost any page curve can be made. Only the middle page is rigged to turn like that. The others are just CP weighted around one bone to bend whichever way the page is directed. I used "render as lines" on the front edge of the pages so they wouldn't look like infinitely thin patches. In the first shot you can see how those edges stand out better than the edges on the sides.

steve392 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Thats a nice job Robert,it looks real smooth and the edges look good,could it be made to open several pages one after another,like telling a story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remaining to be solved, however is the problem of showing something different on opposite sides of a patch. Fortunately for the shot I'm working on we don't' see the book at an angle where that's important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaryin Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Nice job so far. Maybe you could do a decal replacement when it turns? Probably not ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
