Hi everybody, I was thinking about ways to produce beautiful (photorealistic) mockups of a flyer produced with scribus -- like a picture which shows it folded (and partially unfolded) on wooden table, with shadows and things like that, also with proper glossiness of the paper. Is there some standard/recommended way to do that? IIRC indesign folks have something ready-made templates.
Since I am physicist doing simulations, I tried simulation of thin membrane (paper-like), with some initial folding, using my code https://woodem.org . The first result is like this: https://youtu.be/HLb7UmxmMGk (it is actually only the last frame which is relevant now -- producing realistic 3d model of somewhat deformed paper). I thought of continuting this way, adding proper UV coordinates to mesh nodes, which would make it possible to assign texture to the paper -- and the texture would be, of course, rasterized PDF from Scribus :) Then after some tuning of plane ("table") texture and lighting and whatnot, a nice mockup would be produced. I am interested in hearing comments -- maybe someone has done something similar before? Perhaps Blender is able to do something like this in a more integrated way. Best, Vaclav
