You can try Zaxwerks 3D Warps, $199 US. It might be able to do what you need. Here's the information:

If you don't have that kind of money, or if you're just starting to use AE, you could drive youself crazy trying to do it. It involves meticulous planning, many 3D precomps, precise masking and adjusting anchor points.

hi dave

thanx for your answer; as i read it, it would be the best solution to do it in a 3d program?

I don't work in 3D applications myself, but from what I have learned about them, I agree that doing this in 3D would be easier. AE simply isn't designed to do paper folding easily.
