Creating the story Book

Click Spline and initial type smooth drag type smooth.Draw one half of the book.Then click mirror and copy to the other side.

Right click ,Attach.Then right click and convert to editable spline. Then click line and vertex.Drag a square around the joining vertexs and click weld.

I then dragged a box around the top middle joining vertex and increased the weld number and clicked weld.Then right click,corner.
I then selected the top two vertices and clicked corner.Modify,click effect pivot only adn then click center to Object.



Modify extrude so that your shape then fills.Then increase the parameter amount to form the shape o the book.

Spline ,line,corner and corner.Drag two lines underneath the book to form the cover of the book.Then add the modify tool sweep to create the cover to 3D.In the create panel change the built in section to 'bar'.Then change the parameter length to fit the book.Make it slightly larger than the pages to look realistic.
Then change the viewport to front so you can now create the pages.Click line and check the smooth boxes.Now follow a single line of the curve of the book.You can then modify each vertex to fit in to the correct shape ,lying flat to the surfaces.You Can also use the biezer tool. Now look on the wireframe top viewport and drag the line down half way through the book.


Check Enable in renderer and enable in viewport.Then click rectangular and increase the parameters to make the page size.You can then use the pivot tool to animate the animation around to flip the page.
I decided not to use the book in my final piece as i didnt like the idea in my storyboard.However it was a good practice.
