Thank you. I find that G'mic >3d extrusion(animated gives a better result.

I have the plugin. I'm just lost on how to use it and the txt file instructions, don't make sense. To me, making a spinning coin isn't easy.

Use 3 layers.
The bottom layer is the coin's edge.
The middle layer with image flipped vertically and horizontally.
The top layer I called the coins faces.


Now I run the plugin and once complete, crop as necessary.


This is the completed image that has been cropped.


That's how I did it.

Note: Remove the unnecessary original 3 layers before exporting.
