ridiculously awesome indeed!
Right on! Love it. Is it possible to have a different image on the front and back of a page?
you just saved me LIFE… SHOT BRUV!
please can you share with me?
I love it,very very nice plugin,thanks for the info Joren 😉
Looks like its based on MoSpline, I already did the same manually for a previous project, but nice to have it in an Xpresso-based plugin.
Thanks 🙂
RE to Kevin Snider.
Yes, you can. Watch Nitro4d video from his page:

Great Plug!
But… is there someone using R12? I’ve installed the plug-in following the simple instructions, but i can’t see it in the “Plug-In” menu…
Some help?
Thanks
Steve
Kevin, I think in the “Create book” tab in the “mode” twirl down there is an option for both pages. I haven’t played with it enough, but I assume that would do what you want?
As for R12, @Bluworks, I honestly have no idea if it works in that or not. You might have to ask Nitroman about that, sorry!
goodbye after effects…..
Hi Joren,
I asked Nitroman who has been very kind and reactive!
I made some tests.
So, the plug-in has been installed properly, but in version 12.016, it appears here: Python -> Plugins -> MagicBook.
It works!
Just a “fake bug”: when you choose the “Front only” mode, it seems nothing happens (even if the generic material is generated). But if you render the frame, it appears correctly.
Hope it helps!
Thanks Joren and Nitroman
Steve
Awesome! Thanks for the follow up information, Steve, I appreciate that a lot!
It’s been a pleasure!
Thanks to your tweets I discovered MagikBook and Nitroman. So… follow @jorenkandel on Twitter!

Thanks Joren. You rock, and so does NitroMan!
This is a great plugin but for some reason whenever I select a folder of images, the textures made are blank luminance files with no links to the times.
Images are standard jpegs..
Anyone else had this?
thank you very much for shairng it. love it
sweet!
I have unzipped the folder and placed the Magicbook folder inside this folder (AppData\Roaming\MAXON\CINEMA 4D R13_\plugins) but the plugin doesnt appear when i open C4D.
Can someone who has successfully used the magicbook plugin please let me know exactly which files should go where?
i got files from here: http://nitro4d.com/blog/freebie/magic-book/
thanks!

Hi Joren,
when I reduce pages size, the flipping looks not good
check book size in 20x30px
Regards
Is it me or this plugin is useless if you need a realistic book? I mean it’s great the pages creation automation and kinda cool the rig. But there’s not much control over the look of the pages. I need to flip a book at 50% and keep it open and the look isawful. The book looks flat as a brick, completely unrealistic.
Also if I animate the flipping pages and then I’d want to make it editable to manually tweak it, it won’t work at all, it doesn’t keep the animation.
Is it me? Am I missing something here?
Thanks.

What am I doing wrong? It doesn’t create the right amount of pages when I select images and create book. I’ve got 6 images and it makes 3 pages. Also can’t get the front and back to display different images. Maybe it doesn’t work right in C4D 14 broadcast version?
Actually, I found that it was working. The preview window doesn’t update correctly, but when you preview render (Apple+R) it shows the correct sequence.
How can I to add more pages and make more thick or fat the book?
