animated book

[woody173@live.co.uk]

Hi I have created an animation of a book opening. This includes a hardback looking cover.
When I get to the end of my story i would like to close the book again.
Can anyone give me an idea on how to basically reverse the opening sequence to close the book back up.
Or do i have to reanimate the closure again.

Just wondering if there was a quicker easier way of doing this....it may come in handy for other situations too

Many thanks

Say you have two keys, A and B (from close to open.) Copy these to later frames. Grab key B, hold ALT, drag to left until it's before A. Done. Repeat for all keys in all timelines.

thanks for your help i think i sorted it out for that problem.
Now for my next.
On each of my pages I have created a png from photoshop of some text and an illustration.
Is there an easy process to get the image to follow the page when it turns, eventually disappearing when the page turns over
to reveal the new page underneath.

I have the page underneath sorted but cant successfully get the image to follow the page as it turns

Many thanks

Think i am biting off more than i can chew on this one lol

AS' abilities to bend images are limited, a convincing "page turn bend" is impossible. I recommend to just work with masking and switching visibility. And do the page turn fast.
