while browsing images, you
while browsing images, you must check "Sequence" checkbox. just select the image01.tga and check the sequence checkbox which is visible in the 01.jpg. Max will create automatically an ifl file, and script will use that file to assign seperate images to the pages.

I have done as you said, but it donsen't work still. I send the images here. By the way, my Max version is Max9.0,maybe this is the problome? but everything else is normal.

Oh,what a pity! I can't
Oh,what a pity! I can't access the site really.
I have download your new version, when i assigned a material, nothing changed, can you show me some pictures to tell me how to use it. And, whether if the image sequence must to be "dig" format? I never heard it before.
Expcting your answer, thanks.
You are welcome. Strange, I
You are welcome.

Thanks for your explanation,
Thanks for your explanation, i get it.
By the way, i would like to visit your homepage, but the link you gived is failed to visit it.
:) probably I wrote it
:) probably I wrote it wrong. As anyone can imagine, English is not my native language.
I tried to mean by that the relation between crease amount and crease altitude. Right now, if you increase the turner angle up to 360 degree, creases will be on the wrong side. It will stay on top of the page. It makes impossible to correctly turn the page 360 degree. I fixed that adding a new spinner which controls crease level.(angle of the corresponding bend modifiers' gizmo actually)
Probably I again failed to explain that properly. If I can have some free time, in a few days I will complete the material code and finish the new version. If you try it, you can understand better than my lousy explanation attempts.
Thickness options will be nice. I will consider these for the next version. But I have to focus on material and crease stuff for upcoming version. Afterwards I will definitely get into other stuff. Thanks

I am expcting for your new
I am expcting for your new version!
And also i have a thought about this, maybe you can add the option of "thickness" , it contants two part: the cover pages and the inner pages,so that we can make much more different books handy.
Would you please tell me the meaning of the word "compansation" since i am not good at English，and i can't get it from a dictionary.
Thanks
Yes I agree with
Yes I agree with you.
Actually I thought about for a while. At last I decided not to take that into account for now. This script only animates inner pages of a book. Since the cover contains only 2 pages, it can easily hand animated with an additional geometry.
You know there would be too many variables (hard cover, soft cover, different extrusion levels etc.) I tried to keep it as simple as possible.
Now I am working on a new version. it will be possible to turn the pages 360 degrees with crease compansation, there will be more options to control creases and there will be an option to assign materials and texture maps to each page from a given image sequence.
On the next version I am planning to work on thorning apart pages and maybe do some stuff about cover issue.
Thank you.

Thanks very much for this.
Thanks very much for this. Well done!
But i think there is a problome, it does not like a really book because the cover page should be different from the other page. DO you agree?
