Acomplish a "curl page" ?

Post by Ricardo »

Hi

Im doing some fast test and find something i dont find the solution.

Im trying to so some kind of book to be able to curl pages.

I tried to grupo the image and the layer and it gives some results.

This is my structure (just 2 pages at the moment)

Image

If i put some image in page 2 and curl page 1 (this one without image in this attempt) and the curl effect works fine

Image

But if i put some image in the group of page 1, then the "curl" dont moves the image of page 1, and it fails. The image on the first group still there

Image

How can i be able to set in some way that when moving the frame the image in the same group moves together?

I tried putting the image directly in the layer and found same problem.

Thanks in advance for any help :)

In your example, E.jpg and layer 6 are in the same folder (guess Pagina1).
To achieve the desired movement in a quick way you can rotate the group folder (Pagina1) instead of rotate the layer 6 vector layer only. Then both child layers would rotate with its parent layer (the group layer). Rotation center is the origin of the layer. You can move it with the "Set origin" tool.

A more advanced technique is to put E.jpg and layer 6 inside a bone layer instead a group layer. Then using bones and checking the option "wrap image by bones" (or something similar) in the image layer you can really curve the layers and move them away to let the underlaying image be shown.

But you need to be familiar with bones first...
