# Spin

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Spin modifier** of the particle system in **Cinema 4D**. It controls the rotation speed and axes of particle coordinate systems — giving instanced geometry natural tumbling, spinning or stabilized orientation.

This modifier can be used to adjust the rotation speed or the direction of rotation of the particle axis systems. In the following video, for example, two *Spin modifiers* are used directly one after the other. The first controls the rotation speed and the second is used in this case to set randomly aligned rotation axes.
