Pin box 3D

Here is a pin box toy which i created in cinema 4D.
I wanted to animate this for my unit, but theres a problem with how slow the computers can process all the polygons which makes it hard to create.
I may have to reduce them by atleast half but it will take away how realistic it is as a pin box.

3D animation research for new idea

 Here is a bbc four indent which shows 3D objects moving to sounds and the person speaking. I like how the shapes move at different hights and speeds depending on the noises, and some shapes represent different noises to others.

this is the same principle as an idea i have for a 3D animation where a needle board moves up and down to sounds or music.

Ball collision

Here is my video for the tutorial on making objects collide and fall. It is done using plugins to make them solid and some have gravity where as others dont. I added in a few ramps and a box containing it to look beter. theres a target light for shadow effect and a area light to brighting the whole box up.
