Welcome to my first awkward attempt at modelling... ;)

I was in need of an artist's sketchbook prop for one of my renders, and since I couldn't find any I fired up Hexagon and created one myself. It's really basic (as in: just 4 cube primitives :D), but the included morphs should still make it usable in most scenes.

Hint: Re-texture the material zones "Sheet" and "Sheet_Front" to a cover page design to simply turn this into a notebook instead.

Known issues:

- You most definitely WILL have to adjust the shaders. I've created and exported the prop in D|S3, so everything will look pretty wonky in Poser and Carrara, and even some of the settings in D|S don't seem to be imported correctly. Well, I'm still learning how to do it right... ;)
- The morphs are far from perfect. There'll be some clipping (like with the right corner morph at 40%+) and distortion, but just play around with those spins (especially utilise the AdjustLength morph to deal with the latter) and you might come up with something that works for your scene.
- The UV map only allows to apply ONE front and ONE back side with any given texture map. So in order to create different textures for back, paper and cover sheet, three different texture maps have to be used.

Still hope you'll find it useful! « Less
