Page turning effect

[madaussie]

Hi,

I have been trying to animate the turning of a page using photoshop and a commercial plug-in filter. With a frame rate of 16 per second, it is a rather cumbersome way to achieve what I imagined would be quite simple, not to mention the rather unrealistic result.

Any suggestions

Unfortunately if you want a smooth page turning effect you'll probably need a dedicated vector animation plugin like Macromedia Flash. Flashkit have a relevant tutorial here:

I guess that was my fear, thanks anyway. I will have a look at the site recommended

You should be after Adobe After effects anyway... not Photoshop.

You could use a prog like ulead video studio/ movie factory they have page turning effects. If this is not what you mean, sorry for the space i used

As the-negative said: Photoshop hard. After Effects easy.

The CC Page Turn effect in After Effects is pretty basic and a bit cheesy-video-effect looking. But you can make something that looks reasonably cool by animating the fold direction, radius and center to get some variation in how the turn occurs. I used this effect recently and, although still a bit faux, used in conjunction with 3D layers and lighting it wasn't too shabby.

I've also used 3D programs (Cinema4D and Electric Image) to do page turns. A lot more time/effort, but a much more pleasing result the few times I've done it. FWIW
