Not sure what the requirements are, but there is a CoreImage page curl
transition. This would be Mac only, of course. There's a core image
sampler stack located in Resources/Examples of your Revolution folder.
Version 2.6 and above I believe. Not sure if there's something similar
for Windows or not.

If so how?
Good news: the "answer effect" command gives you access to
QuickTime's transition dialog, which provides a stunning variety of
transition effects.
Bad news: page turning isn't among them.* :(
I good page-curling transition would be nice to have, but I'm not
sue it could even be done with an external (is there an API for
imaging unopened cards?).
You might consider submitting a request for that. In the meantime,
you may have to make due with something like the "push" effect for
now.
* Also absent from that QT dialog is the Ken Burns effect, in which
images are moved, zoomed, and faded simultaneously during the
transition. It's a gorgeous effect, and since it's used in multiple
apps in OS X I suspect there's an API for it somewhere. But it's
not in the QT dialog we get with "answer effect", and I've found no
way to emulate it in scripting.
