How could I create a book?

Question

I have started creating a first-person game. I want to have a book that stays with the player, and he or she can open it whenever they feel like it. On the asset store and the internet all I can seem to find are just models of closed books. How could I go about creating a book with flipping pages?

My inspiration was the book from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxDFGjz9s8E (At about 53 seconds into the video.)

Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

At $150 dollars, it's quite over budget. I have looked it over though. Is there anything else I could do?

Well you could write code that did that! There might be a model of a book somewhere, but I've not come across one...

you could try to create an animation from a skinned cloth.

I have attempted to write code, and there are a lot of book models, but they don't have pages. They are either open or closed. I have never worked with cloth, I'm not sure how difficult it is.

$$anonymous$$ake an empty game object, now create a front cover object with two planes back to back. $$anonymous$$ove the pivot point to the joint of the book. Do the same for the back cover. This goes on the empty game object. You now have a book. For the page, create skinned cloth with same process of back to back. $$anonymous$$ake an animation for turning pages.

I have never done that but if it works, you can sell it for $149, so you are cheaper.
