I’m building an iPad app that will have multiple paper pages and I’d like to implement a page transition effect that is similar to the animation you see when you turn pages in the iBooks app on the iPad. A few questions…
- Is that animation readily available somewhere in the UIKit API or would I have to implement it myself?
- If I have to implement it myself, what’s a good approach or API I should look into? It definitely has a 3D feel to it, could they be using the OpenGL ES API for that?
Apple certainly uses OpenGL ES to implement it. The actual API Apple uses is private, but this blogger has the starting of an implementation with sample code.
