Money Pile?
Hello,
A while back I remember seeing a money prop/set that had bills floating in the air like they had just been thrown, heaped up into a pile of loose bills and even allowed you to spread it out onto a bed or over a person but of course now I can't find it. Does anyone remember seeing anything like that or can tell me where to find something I like that? And preferably free or relatively low cost. I am trying to do a robbery scene and almost all of the money props are stacked neatly or are single bills. I do have the Polish and PW bank vault sets and they do have some scattered bills on the floor but I am looking for something with a greater volume of bills so that it looks very messy. Kind of like it would look if it had fallen out of a bag. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hello Charlie,
Thanks for your response. I do have that and am actually using part of it but I am looking fo something that shows money piles that are not so neat. Like a bunch of loose bills had been swept into a pile, and like if someone had scooped up a bunch of loose bills and tossed them into the air. Or like a pile os money ahd spilled to the floor.
I am sure I have seen something like that before but now I can't find it.
I recently used that same model to make bills blow away. What i did was grab the single bended bill included, copy+move+rotate (all 3), repeat, repeat, repeat. Grab all, Copy+move+(ind)rotate to make the effect. Repeat.
Its not elegant, takes time and you need to be careful in not doing same movements with each bill and still if you look carefully you can see its the same model. But its free and depending on the detail needed, it works.
Thanks Wolfwood, I may have to do that too.
This one?

...there was an old briefcase freebie here that included a single bill a banded stack of bills but I think it's been vaulted.
If you can find a product that has something like scattered leaves or petals, and crucially the actually geometry of the pieces is rectangular (ie the leaf was created using a transparency map), then by changing the base texture and opacity you can make money flying in the air, or as a loose pile. I used an old RNDA product called "Rain of Petals" for the image below, but other products can be used.
An alternative idea would be to find a product with bent pieces of paper, change their textures, and then make many instances with something like Ultrascatter.
Was really hoping this thread contained money...
Wow that looks really good Havos! I wish I had that product but it doesn't appear to be one of the RDNA products now sold here. I will take you up on your suggestions though; maybe I can find a blowing leaf prop. Thanks for the tip.
It looks like it is being sold at Rendo: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/rain-of-petals/95628
Great! Thanks Charlie!
Yes. And obviously you could dForce the momey too. Did this last week for a render.. a bit over-dForced actually.
There are a few products here that scatter

...wonder of you could use Nerd3D's old Blowing in the Wind tool?
@ Fred9803, where did you get the money textures? Crikey haven't seen a 500$ bill for decades. The Fed ceased printing bills larger than 100$ in 1945 and those in circulation were recalled in 1969, though many fell into the hands of collectors (the $500 and $1,000 notes are still considered legal tender but are worth far more than their face value, even for worn notes).
you could use Carrara bullet physics and then or particles and then export the obj with morphs and skinning
for those who prefer there is also Blender
