Love the book!  I need to do something similar, but with a calendar instead, with the pages flipping up...

I just "found" anim8or last week, and think it looks pretty awesome.

Here's my newbie question:  how do I draw a "flat" object like a calendar page?  Then how do I "anchor" the top of it, so it flips up?

Thanks!

This is nothing about the book except for saying it is great. ;) This is an answer to Bryce-i-m8or.

if you wanted to make it flat like a calender, you could double-click on a cube, before you convert it to a mesh, Set the Z-dimension to something like 1 or 2. note: 0 will make the z-dimension disappear.


My guess is that you haven't read the manual about bones and morphing for the flipping calender bit. So once you have read that bit about the manual. what you would need to do is attach a bone to the calender page and anim8 it!


Sorry about my grammer ::)

bryce-i-m8or:
Pickle,

Thanks for the response.  You're right, I haven't quite gotten to the part about bones yet.  I have some experience with 2d animation, so conceptually I get it...I'll go read that part and give it a whirl.

Thanks again!

Great book! Excelent use of textures and specular maps, and some fine textures, I would say. However, I have my disagreements, as I've seen some old books. I have a dictionary from the beginning of the 20th century (a true treasure and very rare).

I think that too. They should be about 5mm from the spine. That looks like 15 to 20mm.

Thanks to all who watched the animation and liked it   ;D

cumesoftware, I did not use any specular maps and as for the spine; what happened to artistic freedom ? It's not because they don't exist that people shouldn't model aliens  ;)

bryce-i-m8or, the page is just a cube with all but one face deleted, then put in figure mode and bones attached to it.
