Will it work with 3DS MAX
Will it work with 3DS MAX 2009 x64? I tried to run it on this version, but program didn't reacted to it.
you are welcome. Honestly, I
you are welcome. Honestly, I couldn figure out myself why it isnt working without setting keyframes... And probably I should find a better control mechanism for that.

Thank you for your fast
Thank you for your fast reply!
Yes I got it working now with a shuffle-value of 200.
Yes. Shuffle option does the
Yes. Shuffle option does the exact thing in your image. You see, normally each page starts its animation after the previos one landed. Shuffle option defines overlapping value of each page. If you increase that value (You have to make an page turn animation before) you will notice that space between pages decrease. (making the animation shorter.)
By the way, I read your message one more time, and realized that you didnt do that image of yours using shuflle option. In that case, I can say that you have to set your page keys first, then try to increase shuffle value.
I know it doesnt work very practical right now. I am working on it.

Hello! The Shuffle-parameter
Hello!
The Shuffle-parameter doesn't seem to have any effect.
I'm using 64bit max 2009.

D,R,
it is possible, but it dramatically decreases the viewport performance.
You can use two sided materials instead. Inside the script you can assign two sided materials and assign sequences to the pages.
Or you can add shell modifier to one page and instance them to the other pages. You may use Modifier Instancer for this particular situation.

I Love this script, when you are working on the new version of the script, and i don't know if it is posible now, but can you make it so that each page has a front and a back for two sided reading. This way if you want to have a blank page on the back of each page or the next page show on the back.
That's OK now, how careless
That's OK now, how careless I am!
