I made a parameterized book model in threejs. hopefully for an improved virtual bookshelf.

I also tried letting codex "one shot" this as my first attempt using /goal. it was so fucking bad. I wish I had taken a video or something but I literally just rm -rfed that shit as soon as I saw it

i have to say i like the page flip

it's not bad but I'm not very impressed since the curl is uniform along the whole page and so its basically just animating a line profile. and it would be a nightmare to turn it into a real interactive page turn where you can grab a corner and have it react the way you'd expect

surely there are not that many degrees of freedom on a page, like if you restrict flipping to only be along the edges of the page, it'll always be a 2d curve profile along the edge

i'm not sure how it's described mathematically but in my head if you lift a page and follow an arc to another edge along the opposite side, theres only like a little dome of possible trajectories, the rest of the page rendering is deterministic

as you can see, my idea is both superior, and without flaw

mmm pasta

it needs to basically create a bend that's perpendicular to a line projected onto the stack of pages between the cursor hit point and the corner of the stack of pages.
