FlipBook

Object

The geometric structure of the book and the behaviour of its pages.

Basic Parameters

• Page Count — Total number of pages generated in the book.
• Stop Page — Index of the page that remains static on the right side, never animating. Useful for camera shots framed on a specific page: page 55 stays open on the right while page 54 sits on the left.
• Spine Width — Distance between adjacent pages — the thickness of the paper. Together with Page Count it defines the overall thickness of the closed book.
• Rnd Width — Random variation applied to each page width, in percent. Small values give pages a slightly uneven edge.
• Page Height / Width — Dimensions of each page in scene units. Match the aspect ratio of your source images to avoid stretching the textures.
• Subd. U / V — Subdivisions of the page mesh. Higher values give smoother curl deformation.

Page Behaviour

• Book Curl — Amount of curl anticipation while a page is turning. Extends the deformation range so pages start curling slightly before and after their main rotation, giving a more organic feel.
• Page Subd. — Number of intermediate sections each page is divided into for the curl computation.
• Phase Multiplier — Scales the influence of the Page Profile curve. Higher values amplify the wave shape, lower values flatten it.
• Rnd (Phase) — Random variation added to the curl phase, per page.
• Page Profile — Spline curve that defines the shape of the page curl. Edit directly, or load/save presets.
• Page Skew — Twists each page slightly along its turning axis, simulating the asymmetric bend of real paper.
• Rnd (Skew) — Random variation added to the skew, per page.
• Seed — Seed value for all randomization. Change it to get a different random pattern with the same settings.

Timing

Speed and timing of the page-turn animation.

• Turn Speed — How fast each page turns.
• Pages x Turn — Number of pages turning simultaneously. With value 1, each page completes its turn before the next starts. Higher values overlap several pages in motion at once for a cascading flip effect.
• Page Offset — Time offset applied to the entire animation. Use it to shift the whole sequence forward or backward without re-keyframing.
• Random Step — Adds a random time offset to each page individually, so pages don't all turn with identical timing.

Border Parameters

Secondary rotation applied as the animation plays, simulating the natural deformation of an open book.

• Border Offset — When the border rotation starts, relative to the main animation.
• Duration — How long the border rotation takes to complete.

Remap Duration

Spline curve that remaps the playback timing. Use it to ease in/out, hold pauses, or distort the speed across the animation. Edit the curve directly, or load/save presets.

Material-Mapping

Loads textures from a folder and assigns them to the pages of the book.

Actions

• Create Mat — Reads the folder specified below and generates one material per image found. All materials are tagged in a layer named "FlipBook" so they can be reviewed and managed together. After creation, the materials are automatically distributed across the book pages.
• Delete Mat — Removes all materials previously created by the plugin (those whose name starts with FB_), cleaning up the document.

Folder

• Folder — Path to the folder containing the page images. Pages are assigned in alphabetical order, so naming images with zero-padded numbers (page_001.jpg, page_002.jpg, ...) ensures the correct sequence.

UV Mapping

• Off. U / V — Texture offset on each page.
• Size U / V — Texture scale. 100% fits the texture to the full page.
