  • Hello, I'm a beginner. I need to model a hard cover book but I can't find anything that helps me to improve how to do this. Anyone has a previous experience about? Thanks in advance.

      I would look towards our Carton Fold Up tool and a basic cube.


      Using the carton fold up tool to get the outer cover, you will need to create a dieline for this. But this will allow you to fold and unfold the top cover and back cover. Also, you will be able to customize the substrate of the carton as well to get the look you need.

      Once you have the outer shelf of the book you can use a primitive cube and place that inside to get a rough "book pages" look. Using a texture map on the cube will make it look even more realistic.



      Also, for next post be sure to submit it into the forum and not your wall, this will make sure everyone sees it so you can get the fastest response!
