So here is my final piece for translation. After rendering out both 3dsmax files as jpeg images, I imported them into After Effects and rendered them out as videos. As I had over 1000 images in both files, it got a little confusing knowing what I had or had not rendered out. I found myself re - rendering a few times because the lighting wasn't quite right or it had cut of half way through the scene. So really, it was just the rendering that took time, all in all the making of it probably took about 3 days. The sound was also simple to put in. I downloaded a marble bounce sound and cut parts out that were appropriate for my piece and placed it each time a ball fell. Overall, I feel I have definately achieved what I set out to do. The look is how I imagined, even though there is only one ball falling at each stage and the sound is also right. Originally my aim was to not be obvious to the viewer what the animation was about and I feel I have also managed to achieve this, as I have replaced the sound I used as a reference to animate to, with the sound of falling marbles. So, to me it doesn't look or sound like any of the trapcode experiments I had done in order to make an effect react to audio, which I am happy with.
