Flip clock style animation

Hello,

I'd need some help on making a flip-clock animation effect, like the one in some screensaver of HTC phone UI. But I have very little experience on 3d Blitz programming (only BlitzPlus). Thanks in advance for any help !!!

I would ask first, how 'technical' does this need to be?
Does it need to be done in 3D? As in, with meshes/quads with textures all rendered or just 2D with "images"?

If the latter, do you want the pages to be actual physical meshes that really 'flip' by vertex deformations, or would just updating anuimated textures suffice?

Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages, but overall, the 3D versions, especially the one with actual 'flipping page' meshes would be the most complicated.

Thanks for your time and answer ! Well... it doesn't need to be done in 3D, but I'd like the size of the numbers (of the clock) could be adjusted. So just 2D with images would be better for me. Thank you !
