Full instructions for making a book in 3D Studio MAX 2 with different colours for the cover, pages and title text. The same approach can be used for a wide variety of multi -coloured props, and formed the basis of much of the work on my sliding bicycle pump prop.
If you haven't got Max, or can't face the prospect of slogging through the tutorial, the prop is downloadable from the props page. However, no pain, no gain!
