Think of Spinning a coin 360,
only having scanned in 2 sides,
as a gif &/or flash.

Including 3 sides, & making it look like a 2 sided coin would even be
more fun....

What programs will fit the bill (Winders/Linux/Mac)?
Thanks kindly!

Do a search on '3D animation program'. There is at least one free
package out there.

I have done this exact thing with Xara 3D.

I did almost the same thing as far back as DOS 3DS4 but it was a
spinning gold dollar sign. Maybe it'd be the Euro now!

May it was easy with POVray. I give it a try in a few day.
Basicaly you build a cylinder, use the two scans as image
map, and rotate the object along axes.
