A new feature for the Realbook preset is coming.
Now it is possible to bend the page position in the spine.
Preset
PopUp Book Tutorial – PDF file available
Now, in the project file of the PopUp Book Tutorial you find a pdf that contains the written solution using the mathematic notation.
If there is some request I can think to add better figures for better understanding.
Hope you enjoy.

Realbook preset – the best book rig for C4D
The new article is here:
How To Concatenate Two Bend Deformers
With this tutorial that I prefer to call exercise I hope to give you the opportunity to explore a topic often poorly treated:
The Matrix (not the movie)
The prerequisites are a minimum of knowledge of trigonometry, a little bit of geometry and XPresso. It is not for all, but trust me, it is a simple task.
Since I have received some requests on how to concatenate the Bend Deformer automatically I planned on doing this exercise by providing the project file, so you can see everything in detail without having to write anything. But it would be more interesting to redo from scratch all the things.

Popup Book – Mathematical Solution
If you have seen the Popup Book tutorial for Cinema 4D by Robert Leger and want to know how to solve the problem in the mathematical way read below.
Here is the Robert’s tutorial:
This is my result obtained with my solution:
Tree – C4D XPresso Preset
From the Xpresso Lesson 10 of Robert Leger, here it is my final result:
And here it is the project file.
