Here are two screenshots from a concept that I have begun working on that hopefully will eventually be animated:
The animation, if and when I complete it (hopefully), will consist of the pages of the binder turning with varying messages and/or effects on each different page.
The binder is made of two
Map Object thin
Boxes (using an X Scale value of 0.80 and a Z value of 0.05) oriented at different angles (I think Y rotation values of 30 degrees and -45 degrees). The binder rings are made from a
Map Object thin length
Cylinder (using a length of 0.05), and the pages are
Map Object Plane objects (with Y rotation values of -60 degrees and 45 degrees) that will eventually be animated. The details to achieving the results above are a bit more more complex than that, but those are the basic essentials, in case anyone would like to try their hand at a static binder based on the above notions. It probably would be a fun tutorial to follow, just on the making of the binder and papers themselves without movement. I'll keep it in mind because writing up such a tutorial would not take long (it took long to figure this all out though
)
Just thought I would share with you all my progress to this point. Thanks for checking this out.
