It creates pages with 3 bend modifiers, (for turn animation, secondary motion and landing position) and binds them into a controller to easily turn pages.

cheers for the creative
cheers for the creative idea, but still alot of bugs, keep working-out
my recent MAXScripts RSS (archive here)
I can get all image sequence
I can get all image sequence pages to run on "select front material" only. It will have no backside but will play all image sequence files. Will do so in all the alpha source files.
For double sided material, I can get only the first two image files to run and that is just with RGB Intensity and None)opaque.
The program gives Max script error when trying to run double sided image sequence with the image alpha.
I can get a double sided
I can get a double sided image when I select "none" or "RGB intensity" on the alpha source.
But... it is only picking up the first two images of my sequence file. I had 7 images, it is only picking up the first two and putting them on front and back on page.
Is there a way to make load more of the images in the file sequence?
I agree, amazing script but
I agree, amazing script but I'm having the same problem like everyone else. Can't get double sided material to work?
1. Using 3ds max 2009 64 bit
2. I check dbl side material in the Book Rigger v2.21 panel
3. click on "select front material", put material in the first spot on the material editor, then click the front material button again in the book rigger v2.21 panel
4. I repeat this step again with the "select back mat"
5 I leave image alpha checked.
6. I select "go" from the book rigger panel
7. grab the helper to turn a page
8. When I render the page it only shows the first material on both the front and back on the page.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong?
Also, having problem with the Images sequence part...
I get a "Maxscript rollout handler exception", it says.... Unable to convert: Undefined to type: Interger
What I'm doing is selecting both materials front and back side on the book rigger, clicking on the "select sequence", going to my image files. They are .tga format, I select the first image "pageo1", there are 6 images and are numbered. I select the sequence button.
everything seems ready to roll but I get the exception when I click the go button on the book rigger panel.
Thank you for any help you may give, and thank you for creating this amazing script.
Hi, this is a great
Hi,
this is a great script.
I am going nuts however because I cannot succeed in creating a normal book with double sided pages.
I read all the explanations above but still cannot do it.
I come as far as creating images on one side, but the other side stays black.
What material should you make in the material editor. Should you assign an image sequence in the material of the material editor? Should you click "2 sided" in the material editor?
I am lost.
Please help.
