    At the end you can duplicate the page layer in the project panel, go in there and make your custom page design. Then drag and drop while holding ALT/OPTION on one of the pages in your composition to replace it with your new one and this way you can custom design each page as you like :) Thanks again for a great tutorial!

    Just to add one thing, if you would like to add different texts on different pages there is a little, I do mean very little extra effort. You dont have to duplicate blank pages but rather just create numerous as per your requirement pages on your project area.

    Hi! I know this video is super old, but I used it just now and found a way to make the pages seem two-sided. Just upload 2 images onto your page, one mirrored, and when the page turns in your main comp, make sure to switch the image (I did this by keyframing the opacity from 100 to 0 and vice versa) and it'll look like there's a backside to the page! Hope this helps someone. :)

    I stumbled on this video looking for some exercises to try, and this one is brilliant! It's a really neat project that covers a lot of basics and it's explained perfectly, succinctly and to-the-point. To finish off I added a little bounce to the pages once they opened and a back to the cover (by pasting the cover, replacing it with a blank copy, and dropping it .1 points behind the cover). Thank you!

    Making different images or text on the opposite side of pages is very easy. Just duplicate the page in the timeline. Parent it to the opposite side of that page and remove any rotation animation (leave the other animation). offset the page by something really small (all depends on the scale of the book). Now duplicate the original page composition and add whatever content you want (may need to scale by -100 to get it appear correctly) and replace the duplicated composition used in the animation.
    Not the best explanation, but if you are familiar with after effects, you should be able to figure it out. This should be more that enough to look good as long as you are not zooming in on the edges of the pages.

    • @JiminyHCriquet
      @JiminyHCriquet 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      figured out a way around. in the project panel (not inside any of the comps) where you have a list of all the comps ("Assembly etc"), duplicate the page and call it something else. Then go in there and change the color of the solid (Layer > Solid settings). Make it something super visible like purple. Then go to this tutorial and follow again from where he says how to insert the first page into the book. Once the position is right, just copy over the keyframes. You can then edit what the page says. It's really annoying that After Effects doesn't let you edit one duplicate of a comp inside a composition without changing every single instance of it.
      this is the best workaround i can think of. Hopefully it helps.

    • @beckyboradley
      @beckyboradley 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      So the left page is showing the same image on the back as the front, it is doing what he says.
      You can follow the tutorial as explained. Then at the end duplicate the main page composition twice. Create a design on each of those 2 pages. Then select the proper page layer in your final comp where you want the design, hold alt and drag the new page with design on so it replaces the blank page.
      You just couldn't use actual text on the left page as you'll see it clearly on the back, use lines or something like he has so it's less obvious. The right page can be more detailed with text and images though as you don't see the back of that page.

  • @Workbenchtv
    @Workbenchtv 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Nice way to do it. I haven't experimented with curvature in AE so I'm not sure if this works, but back in the day, I'd build pages in a precomp with front and back pages slightly offset in Z and then continuously rasterize them so they come in as a pseudo 3D object in the main comp. My suspicion is that it won't work with C4D curvature, but maybe that's a workaround to get rear pages?

    • @Workbenchtv
      @Workbenchtv 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I tested it. It becomes way more complex (you might as well just pop into Cinema), but it's possible. You can make a front/back pages in separate comps. Then you can put them together in a precomp. You offset the front and back pages slightly in Z. I pushed the back page to .05. Then animate the curvature in the precomp. Both pages curve and scale the same amount without collision. Then you just do the rotation in the main comp. You could probably get fancy with master properties to swap pages and have an interesting rig.

    • @ECAbrams
      @ECAbrams  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That method will definitely get you there. I think someone put up a book rig script of some kind that uses this very method. Ultimately we just have to assess if having unique front and back pages is necessary in the larger context of a piece, and is it practically appreciated on viewing. In the example case, not really. But it would certainly be worth rigging up a more advanced system if we were to simulate paging through a book from spread to spread. The real question now is... how do we make a pop-up book!

    • @Workbenchtv
      @Workbenchtv 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, definitely! In most case we'd never need to really see that back page. But for a single page curl or something, that's kind of useful. A pop-up book might win the greatest-effort for-least-return challenge!

    • @ECAbrams
      @ECAbrams  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I tried fruitlessly back in 2016 to get a simple popup card to happen. Full disclosure, I am a huge popup craft fan. Ultimately I ended up just making a physical card in way less time. And we ended up going in a totally different direction in the end anyway. But I still wonder how it could be done. Maybe really does need a true 3d system to simluate the properties of paper for some of the flexing and tension requried.

    • @Workbenchtv
      @Workbenchtv 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I vaguely remember seeing someone do a popup in something, I think it was Cinema, but I could be completely wrong on that. I think it'd be too complex for AE. I'm pretty sure it'd need IK. Maybe DUIK would work. The setup would not be easy.

      Shape layers can indeed be given real depth with the c4d renderer. Given where we're at with c4d lite being bundled with Ae, I might actually redo this tutorial in there and see if I can get better page turning and texturing going on.

    • @ECAbrams

      For sure. If you make it out of a shape layer you can just extrude it. Get that real 3d.

    What if we duplicate the page make the bottom one blank and write on the top one, can we eliminate the duplication problem? just a theory and I'm too lazy to try it.

    Is there a way to make the front cover page thicker to better emulate a real book? Or is that not possible with the render type

    • @ECAbrams
      @ECAbrams  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      to have a true thickness, you'll need to use the c4d renderer and extrude a shape layer. Sadly, they do not bend well. I would recommend, if you want a better and more realistic book geometry, it's time to jump into c4d or Blender.

    I can see that it was important to hold SHIFT when parenting the blank page to the Page Holder but I'm not sure exactly what this accomplished - it took on the properties of the Page Holder at the same time as parenting?

    • @ECAbrams
      @ECAbrams  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, that's about the size of it. The purpose is to have the page aligned and positioned at and to the null so it will behave as expected.

      you could put literally anything in the comps that make up the pages. That is precisely why we use pre-comps for pages.

I used the collapse transformation tool but it threw everything out of wack with my 3d layers. How did you get yours looking so clean? When I zoom in with the camera it looks blurry, but your title on the cover was so nice. Did I miss something?

    Why applied Brightness FX does not effect the colour of the page? Because of C4D renderer?

      Most likely. When you turn on the c4d renderer some features are enabled, others are disabled. Check the advanced area of the comp settings to see details.
