is there a way to create a 3d Page curl in Action? Flashback to the 1990’s!!
I have the Logik matchbox version (PageCurl_3vls1) - which does a very nice looking curl, but it seem to be constricted to working on a frame sized input, and it will not apply the curl over a specific background.
I need to be able to curl a poster from off screen to its final position, thus seeing the edges of the poster as it curls onto the background. I tried Extended Bicubics, but find it almost impossible to control.
I looked on Sapphire OFX and can’t find anything that looks suitable.
Anyone able to suggest a solution?
thanks in advance
if you shape the deform to be like a letter J, and then animate it across, that should work. I used to place an HD image in a 4k plate surrounded by black.
OHHH!
thank you…I just realised wh i was getting so puzzled - i’m trying to animate the shape of the deformer, but after your comment i think it should just be a fixed shape passed across the surface to change its look.
You may want to give that Matchbok shader a try, but it’s old and won’t work in Action. It may be a good challenge for @ivar to refresh it or do a new one.
tried that one first Fred - looks great but it only works on a full frame, where i wanted it to apply to a smaller image within the frame. The deform mesh worked perfectly for my needs (once Peter had explained how it worked!)
