I’d use email, phone calls (using Movistar extra minutes), snail mail postcards and Facebook!

Another manic friday...

On this goal:

Option A:
Make a traditional one
Found this video of Alice in Wonderland popup book is awesome

Option B:
Make a Digital one
Flash (Already know how to do the flip page effect)
For the 3D popup been thinking of some of the 3D libraries I’d found, still in their infancy but enough for what I want.
There’s actually a working algorithm to turn 2D pictures in 3D popup alikes Get to read the papers or try to reverse engineering it

Ideal would be pipe 2D image -> 3D popup geometry -> Render in Flash 3D apis -> Popup in effect -> Pop out Effect -> Flip Effect

So anyone would be able to build animated “books” feeding the pages images to the flash.

Hints:
“Mechanical books should look like ordinary books. Their success is to be measured by the ingenuity with which their bookish format conceals unbookish characteristics.”
