How to make books + free 3d book models

I had to make some books for a recent project and decided to make a quick tutorial on modeling and texturing.
For some of you this might be a very simple task but I’m sure that it will be useful for others.
I will show you how to make a realistic book with poly modeling tools, texture it with the help of Unvwrap UVWs and make a simple texture for the pages in photoshop.

If you don’t want to spend your time making your own books, i have 56 free 3d book models over at the freebie section ;)

    Could someone help with advice — how to restore all textures for multi/sub material and not to pick each book and recover every path to bitmap? Thank you!

      You can add the path to the textures folder in Configure User Paths -> External files, this should make the textures appear automatically. Or try putting the textures in the base folder of the max file you are using these books in.
