Thought I'd try a different way of creating poker chips. Here's my method. Sorry about the sound quality. Watch in HD:

I like the idea of cubic balloons. Do they make the usual popping sound when they're spent, or create sine waves from eight tangential points in space to converge and emit a noise similar to "We Are the Champions" by Queen?

Strike that; the joke is not working hard enough.

Mike is perfectly fine although i wouldn't want it to get too confusing with the other more talented and knowledgeable Mike (hmmm...could be a good thing tho for me

)
and a fitting song for a trip by me to the casino would be Beck's "Loser"

Here's the xar file should anyone wish to pull it apart.

Egg thanks I like the method and especially that the shapes are skewed and so completed without using Mould tool.

Mike just would like to congratulate for that animation, that has also energy

@ Thanks for sharing the file, Egg, and the next time when you have something that terrific, send it to me first so I can use it as a monthly tutorial!

:)

Only partially kidding,

Ballons look great Stygg. Terrible misuse of helium though.

Here's a mix of using Xara3D7 and the above method to create chips. I'll probably be dragged to the Tower now for using Her Maj's likeness. (That's the blend method, the other two are Xara3D7)
