  • choppy lookin’ motion w/ 3D layers! Any help?

    Posted by Darren Gardner on November 21, 2006 at 3:56 am

    I’ve made a book of turning pages in AE using 3D layers for pages, and I animated Bezier Warp during the page turn to make the pages feel more like pages and not like rigid cardboard.

    The problem is: the animated page turn appears choppy, like its stop-motion photography. I’m going for a more realistic feel. I’ve already tried applying motion blur to smooth it out a bit. But it doesn’t seem to help.

    Any suggestions would really help.

    Thanks ahead of time!

    dumb question:
    have you tried using CC Page Turn?

    Sorry. I probably should have provided more info. The screen shot is of the entire book, a twopage spread. The page on the right folds up and over, falling to the left. It appears that CC page turn wipes the turning page away completely, rather than following through to reveal the back of the page resting on the other side of the binding. Does that make sense?

    With that said, are there any suggestions as to how I should smooth out the motion?

    If there’s any info that I’m not providing that you think would be helpful to know, let me know.

    Select all keyframe sand press f9, use the Graph editor to get Smooth Curves.
