Modal View Controller transitions

I'm trying to do some fanciful transitions for my iPad application. I'm using this presentModalViewController to show another view.

But the only available transitions are:

modelViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
modelViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
model开发者_如何学运维ViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
modelViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStylePartialCurl;

Are there any ways that i can have some cool or maybe 3D transitions?

You can do it with QuartzCore framework or using animation blocks. The first one is the hard way, the second one is easier but limited.
