Algorithm to animate a page flip in 3D?

Question

I would like to make a realisticly looking page flip animation. It does not have to be a true physical model, as long as it looks convincing. Many shops have flash animations of their real-world brochures but I don't find them convincing. The page does not bend realistic, lighting is not correct, etc.

I will be happy with any links describing this problem, or code that implement it. I will be implementing this .net (using SlimDX or WPF).

Rick Barraza has a great blog post titled The Secret Behind the Page Flip Technique that goes into incredible detail. This should be the first page you look at.
