    Grato por esta aula, simples, e, o resultado fantástico.
    Gostei da astucia de criar o elemento para rotação da moeda, isso exercitará meu raciocínio.

      Muito obrigado! Na verdade, eu descobri depois que eu fiz o tutorial que existe uma seção no guia dinâmica que você pode definir uma velocidade inicial personalizada …. mas eu acho que meu caminho é mais divertido! :)

      Thanks very much! I actually discovered after I made the tutorial that there is a section in the dynamics tab that you can set a custom initial velocity…. but I think my way is more fun! :)

    Outstanding tutorial, like yourself I’ve been looking high and low for a tutorial that takes a beginner like myself through step by step. Thanks again!

    Great job. As someone who tends to use Cinema 4d mostly for motion graphics work, I’m always thrilled to find tuts and examples of people doing photo-real work with it as well. Very nice job, and look forward to your future tuts.

    This tutorial is awesome!

    I just wish my stuff would work like yours does. My main concern is when I add Rigid Body to the coin then add Collider with Clothilde Tags and raise the coin a bit then hit play, nothing happens. I’m pretty new at C4d so I’m sure it’s something super simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

      Hi,

      Thanks for your comment. You shouldn’t need to add any Clothilde tags? If you are running version R12 or R13 you just add the rigid body tab to the coin and a collider tag to the floor and the gravity system should do the rest.

    Hi Rory,

    This is a great tutorial, I have been playing with it and think I might use coins in a project.
    I am really having trouble with the coin edges, they appear to come out in reverse and not looking realistic at all.
    I can get the lines to look good and the text seems to pop out rather than in.
    I am also new to Cinema4D and can even get the coins to fall like yours, you have really opened my eyes to what I could do with it, but I am a bit stuck with this.

    Regards,
    Paul.

      Hi, thanks for your comments. In regards to the sides, have you tried setting the bump amount to a negative number? Perhaps this will help?
      Rory.
