I decided that a good test of my progress would be to model the book again, just to see if my methods have changed and/or improved. I managed to do it much quicker than my last 2 attempts, and I think that this one is actually my most effective one. The structure is very accurate and the keyframing makes the animation much smoother and more natural than before.
First I had to model the book, as you can see this was really straight forward as I’ve done it before, and I now know more advanced modelling techniques.
I then had to animate the pages turning, but since I had done this before I knew how to do it. I also know how to use the dope sheet alot more efficiently now, so I found it really easy to edit the different keyframes to make the movement seem more natural.
