Amazing tutorial. I used it to make the dice in the following image:

The chips and cards were made using the Poker Chips + Playing Cards tutorial by 'cjmcguinness' and the reflections were made with the Water Reflections plugin with a Waves value of zero and varied Durations (I think this is the best way to make reflections)
