Really cool tutorial, thanks for sharing
Grato por esta aula, simples, e, o resultado fantástico.
Gostei da astucia de criar o elemento para rotação da moeda, isso exercitará meu raciocÃnio.
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.
Thanks for helping us….Your tuts are all amazing….
Great tutorial! I’m having a problem with getting the spin correct though. I start it going using the technique you show above, but then it spins for 2000 frames and even when it starts to fall it’s a slow, balletic process until it settles. I’ve tried tweaking things like Friction in the hope that it would force it to run out of steam and topple over, but no joy. Any advice you might have would be appreciated.

Though our nation's economy has recently lost millions of jobs, the health care industry has continued to add them. Not surprisingly, unions are eager to sign up health care workers. In the last 10 years, the rate of union wins in the health care industry has grown faster than the national average. Unions are uniting to lobby for labor-friendly legislation to promote increased union membership in the health care sector.

Muchas gracias por los Totoriales. Fácil y paso a paso.
También compré y estoy utilizando: rmf_infidio_pro_v1.4
Me dedico al diseño de Packaging y estoy un poco perdido de como se hizo este link.
¿podrías ayudarnos?.
Atentamente, JuanRa
Have you tried using a Normal for the sides instead of bump (or as well as)
just create black and white in photoshop and give the text some shadow and use something like Crazybump beta to convert it
gives real texture
cheers
love the tut helped me alot
Hi … loved this tutorial, has a very good insight… not wanting to take much of your time, would you be able to post the coin side on the download, so we could have as a reference?
thank you so much and keep it going please!
I could not find the Pound_coins_edge.psd file, so I gave it up.
Please let me know where can I find it.
Thank you.
Hi, my question is, do you make a coin by order?
There is some problem with linking to Vimeo video. When I click tutorial image on main page I will go to the tutorial page but there is no video file. I use Google Chrome and Windows 7 64 bit.
If you happen to be still around the fence: grab your favorite eaeshonrp, head down to a Finest Buy and ask to connect them right Zune then an iPod and pay attention to which one sounds preferable to you, and which in turn interface allows you to smile a lot more. Then you will know which can be right for you.

I use a mix of vanilla sugar and salt to cure my foie gras torchons in it. It’s stunning how much of the essence/scent is apparent in the finished cured product and how deeply it penetrates into the foie.It is also great and very apparent, when I use vanilla sugar in my cherry fruit reductions that I use over my confit de canards or seared duck breasts. -Lex

Hi DavidI’m a pastor in Vancouver and read your blog regularly, and the idea of a theology reading group sounds like a great idea. A couple of questions for you if I could: How would a typical group meeting go? I guess it wouldn’t take too much administration once it gets started? ThanksSam

That is additionally the rationale why it’s unusual to see mono-filament traces lower than 10 pound check used on bait forged reels.
