How to create a page turn animation in SL

Dec 27, 2013

I'm using a notebook in a course and I'd like the learner to be able to "turn" the pages. I do already have the cool little page flip graphic from the Downloads section here.

I've briefly scanned the threads here and haven't found anything about this topic. Surely someone has already done this?

Thanks!

There isn't a page turn animation, you may be able to create it as a video and add to a layer

you may be able to record the page turn animation in ppt or in keynote and add this to a slide

This jquery tool might help.

There is an older version available for test from Github.

You can also create or find a graphic of a page corner turned up and create a hover state. When the user rolls over the corner of the page, it gives the illusion of the user flipping the page. See below.

Not quite sure how that would work...

Surely it just gives the illusion of the corner of the page being flipped up, but the main page would stay the same?

Do you have a working example of this - maybe my imagination is just none too good today

See attached Storyline file. The right bottom corner is a graphic with a hover state and the graphic is a trigger to show the next layer.

Hi Mary,

I wondered if this might help. It's called page curl, but if you view the demo, the page actually turns. I came upon it after reading this thread, where Paul Alders provides a link for SL "stuff" that he's sharing.

I thought the free online tool youblisher can help users who has no knowledge in scripts and codes to make page turning animation for ebooks. This one also do what it says.
