Spinning coin

Very clever, you have quite the imagination teapot.

Thank you racer-x

Now if it only had an animated shadow.

Simply add it to each layer. Here I added both lighting effect and shadow.

I made this a while ago for the same person I made the coin for.
The image below was made using Blender and it's now used as part of a video intro.
I'd like to try and replicate this type of shadow within GIMP.

I gave it a try using Filters -> Light and Shadow -> Perspective with these settings:
angle 45.0
relative_distance_of_horizon 5.0
relative_length_of_shadow 0.3
blur_radius 5
opacity 50

Maybe with some experimenting this could get near to the effect you want?

I can't agree more. teapot is very creative

@teapot, Your shadow on your last coin is excellent, well done!
IMO you did put the Brian's script to the next level, literally! and your last iteration gave me quite something to think about
Thus I have a question, below I did it with the Ofnuts' interleaves to merge the shadows, did you use it as well or is it another method?

Thank you PixLab

I like your spinning Santa. Yes, I also used Ofnuts' ofn-interleave-layers.py to merge the shadows.

I also admire your spinning ball in post #50. Which gmic filter did you use?

We could almost have a tree decorated soon

Thank you teapot

The spinning sphere:
G'MIC > Sequences > 3D Image Object [Animated] , it will transform an image to a spinning cube, sphere, pyramid, and so, even a rubik's cube

Yes, I agree soon we might have a tree fully decorated

Just a quick try for the shadow, I did follow teapot's setting (thank you) then Ctrl+F and (merge coin with shadow) on each layer

Possibly offtopic. Used Blender

Thanks for your help PixLab, I gave the filter a try so another decoration added to the collection
