Hi there,

Can anyone help me with the below?

I'm trying to create a book cover that repositions as the pages turn, as in the diagram below. Does anyone have any straight forward advice how to do this - at the moment I am trying by creating a single flat polygon and deforming using joints for the curve - but this isn't working.

I have attached an example of what I'm working on - unanimated at the moment and without characters. If there's anyone who can mentor me through this - I'm one month into Maya - that would be incredible.

Thanks.

Dan
