Hi, this is too late to help but might be handy some other time: Another way to get a nice page curl (its easy to animate too) is to use the bend and twist modifier. To get just the corner to bend, rotate your object 45 degrees and then group it on its self. Then apply the bend and twist to the group with the object inside. You can adjust the upper and lower limits to shape the curl. If you build your spline object as a very flat thin cube you could turn off the modifier and then set the underside of the page texture using a simple rectangular layer shape. mdc
