    Posted by Erik Jägberg on September 22, 2005 at 7:47 am

    I’m just at a loss here!
    I can’t get this to work:
    A coin i rolling into the picture on its edge, slowing down and finally falling and stopping.
    I don’t have dynamics, I don’t know how to make a script.
    Basically I don’t know much except what I want the final result to be…

    Anyone to the rescue?

    TIA

    Erik

    This is only my simple idea of a rolling coin… (done with “Fizz”)
    but if you like you can download the file “RollingCoin.c4d”
    from my iDisk here:

    Hi Nolan,
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    The plug-in “Polygon-Particle Collision”, is that a free plug?
    Im working in Cinema4D 8.001.

    Thanks man!

    Did you try the RollON set? It’s made for this. Took me 2min to make what you described.

    Hide Guides (the visible guiding sphere)

    Make a Cylinder with radius 200 (default for RollON) Hight i.e 20. Set axis to X. Drop it in the RollON.
    Draw a spline where the coin will be traveling. Drop that in RollON.
    Animate start and end position.
    Animate wobble.
    Animate the wobble compensation so the coin doesnt go thru the floor.
    Adjust EaseIN|OUT as well as Start and End if needed to adjust the absolute end postion of the coin.

    Make sure to get the free update to 8.207 from the Maxon website, it fixes a number of issues.
    Cheers

    Do you still have this Rollon plugin? I need it real bad and i can’t find it on the link that you gave me. I really need to animate a coin rolling for a while and then hit a text and fall down. Can anyone help?
