I have a pretty hot lap top but this app, aside from have very outdated documentation crashes unity if I try to do anything as challenging as adding a second 3d object. Of course I am stuck with it.

Great asset, I used it directly in my last project and it worked really well, just what I wanted. Now in the new project there is a question, when the maximum number of pages exceeds 20? Will make mistakes. Is there a limit on the maximum number of pages?

What does "Add Page" actually do? Why does "Remove Unused Pages" freezes my project? This asset is barely working in basic aspects!

This is an incredible asset. Seriously top notch.

I purchased Megabook 2 from the Asset Store, expecting a quality product with good support based on previous reviews. Unfortunately, my experience has been extremely disappointing. The package has multiple bugs that severely impact its functionality: Pages sometimes overlap, making the book unreadable. It's impossible to create protruding bookmarks because page rotation is incorrect when the book is closed. If you make a prefab from the book, the automatic rebuilding feature stops working. I reported the page overlap bug three weeks ago, providing a video demonstrating the issue and steps to reproduce it. The initial automated response promised a swift reply, but I've received no further communication despite following up weekly via both the support email and the author's personal email. The complete lack of response from the developer is unacceptable, especially given the severity of the bugs. Previous reviews praised the support, but it seems the developer has abandoned this asset.

This asset is incredible. Note for URP users, change the 'Shader Texture Name Override' value to '_BaseMap Dev is very responsive if you email him.

Great asset and more importantly, fantastic support from the author who couldn't have been more helpful!

I’ve been on the hunt for a book asset for quite some time now. Back in 2018 I started with Book - Page Curl Pro, which is a great canvas based book asset, however, it lacked the 3D depth that I was looking for when creating augmented realty books. In 2022, I stumbled across Mega Book, the original asset that really got me excited because the books were actually 3D. Unfortunately other projects and life got in the way such that I was unable to even download and try the asset. Fast forward to summer 2023, Mega Book 2 caught my eye, with even more exciting features than the original. My notebook has sketches that could now be brought to life with the addition of 3D models on each page and with an refined runtime stability, it made augment reality books even more possible.

 This weekend I finally got around to downloading the asset and taking a look around. Like most devs, I started with the Demo scenes and very much saw exactly what I desired for my own projects. I then took time to read over the documentation a couple of times before starting my own book. Please note, the Readme contains more up to date steps as to how to accomplish your goals in terms of initial book building and the PDF does a solid job at explaining the other nooks and crannies of the inspector components and API. I started my own project and began messing around with the different settings, reading the documentation as I went. I was able to create some unique page and book cover materials and even added 3D objects to a page or two. Everything was started to line up just I wanted before I stared my race. One thing I was unsure about was how to allow a user to turn the page with their finger, similar to how I have done with the Page Curl asset mentioned above. I triple checked the documentation and then reached out to Chris for their insight on best approaches to implement. Normally I would leave a project and come back when the developer responds days later. However, in this case, Chris responded to me so fast, I was still in the project trying to figure things out. Their email was clear and logical, it made me say “duuuuhh” aloud as I read it. I then took on the task of implementing a custom script to provide the value I then needed to pass to the Mega Book API.

When it came time to pass in the value, I was still unsure exactly how to do it, I had an idea or two and emailed Chris about those to get their insight again… I received a reply with simple steps and explanation on how to access the API. They did in fact make it easy, I was just a bit to narrow in my scope of looking at my project to understand exactly how to do it. With their example email in one hand and my mouse in the other, I went back to the Demo scene per their suggestion to try and find out how the page slider mechanism worked. It was another “aha!” Moment for me and my gears started turning again. I was on track to bringing my sketch book dreams to life and I couldn’t have done it so quickly without this asset and support I received.
 When it comes to All-Star assets in the Unity store, there are a lot that can be talked about, and this is one of them. Not only does the asset do what it says it does, the demo scenes, documentation and support back it up so you really feel like you have something you can build with, instead of a really nice YouTube video without Unity Scene demos and docs to help you through your unique aspirations. I’m very much grateful to Chris for supporting me with my trials getting started and for the asset itself. I very much look forward to the future of possibilities and even recommending this asset to devs I meet along the way. I hope that my roadblocks and feedback can be used to improve documentation for clarity to keep Chris email inbox limited to real issue and complex requests as mine were easily solved by paying closer attention to the demo scene itself. Non of which take away from my satisfaction rating of this product. Cheers!

My previous review gave it 2 stars partly because I failed to understand how to use it properly. All the minor improvements I pointed to have been implemented same-day. Thank you a lot Chris and sorry for my impulsive review :-) To compare with MegaBook1: + better UI/UX and ease of use + huge framerate improvement + works perfectly in WebGL

Megabook2 delivers in every respect. Versatile, adaptable and easy to navigate; it brings animated books to life! Chris is an approachable and responsive developer, quick to respond and offer help wherever he can. If you are looking for a customisable, truly animated book then look no further.
