I'm modelling a few stacks of books for an already quite detailed scene, but because of the current level of detail I'm trying to make the pages (for the stacked books) from materials only. Making it out of actual geometry would be way too render intensive...

I hope someone may have a suggestion on how to achieve a realistic kind of look on stacked pages. I already tried a bit but it didn't come even close; I'm not much of a material guy (slowly venturing into that area as well though).

All suggestions are greatly apriciated...!

... have a look here.
Depending on how close you are going to get, a good clean colour+bump map can go a long way.

Thanks alot for the links,

I'm planning to slightly blur the stacks of books with DOF, so the image he used is pretty much perfect.

Thansk again... :)
