oh boy, what an excitement these days. Reason for me to sneak around a bit and guess what I found out?
Yes there were two parts getting together, one real big one, speaking english and a small one, I think they are speaking german and have something like Sauerkraut and Lederhosen which possibly could be the reason for all this rumour, business and secret habits.
Tell you, it was a scary moment but I managed to grab the pages they did talk about, now I know all about it :D and of course it wouldn't be a real secret if not everyone knows it. Therefore I tell you..., but wait, just see for yourself in the attached video
ts = top secret :) |

Nice render! I love the bump map! Just a suggestion:
when the pages turn, you can tell that it was made of several plans that were animated to flip over. I've run into similar situations when trying to animate an object as though it's "on a hinge." Just go into model, then, next to the bounding box for the object in particular, you should see a small circle floating in the general vicinity. Just left-click on it. A bunch of options should appear. Click on the "AXES" button, and simply move the "axes" for the object all the way over to the side that will look like it is attached to something. In this case, the spine of the book. That's it! When you rotate the page, it should act like it's "swinging" from something. Just position it properly, and the rest will look great! |

in fact, that was what I was trying to do, to let it look as if the book pages are turned one after another smoothely.
turning the pages manually in Workspace works perfect, also in the moment when you record it as animation.
as soon as you replay then the animation looks like you saw in the anim file above.
I did correct it partly as good as I could in the FCurve sheet by manually shifting one of the axis. Before that the pages would jump much worse around than you can see in this anim file.
I'm using 7.51 and only Workspace side, maybe on Model side it works better ?
A while ago I had an idea for a butterfly animation, this behavior was the reason I gave up as I couldn't solve it. |

Perhaps try a combination of the two. Whenever I animate in TS, I'll use model to position the objects, but all of my keyframing is done using the workspace animation tools. |
