The model of the Book is been Rigged in Maya Software. Rigging this was a bit tough.
The Book has the curve controls to control the movements of the book, cover of book, single page, fanning the pages of the book.
To rig the Cover, I have used Joint tool and Skin tool. Component Editor is used to adjust the shape of the cover while it is bending.
To rig the Loose page; I have used Mid Point Formula to fan the pages, Deformer to bend the pages, Blend Shapes and Set Driven Key.
- The Book opens and closes when the cover right, cover left, book right and book left controls are moved.
- The Spine rotates on two pivots.
- Loose pages turn Page flip control is moved.
- Fan Pages control can fan many pages rapidly.
- The fan is affected by the opening and closing of the book.
