Can you post a file where you’re having the problem?

If you’re a Cineversity member (free if you have a Maxon maintenance agreement) you can use CVArtSmart to import your illustrator artwork and extrude it. https://www.cineversity.com/vidplaylist/cineversity_resources/artsmart_overview
Otherwise you can save your .ai file as an Illustrator 8 file and then open it in Cinema. That will bring in the artwork as splines which you can then extrude in cinema.
To get the same look you would use materials with the luminence channels (only) active.

Have you created textures to paint on? You have to have bitmaps loaded in the channels you want to use in order to start painting.
The quickest way to get going with BP is to use the Tools>Paint Setup Wizard. It will allow you to create UVs if they aren’t already set up, and it will also create bitmaps in whatever size you want for whichever channels you want to use. Highly recommend you use that tool.

You can use a polygon selection to limit where the hair grows, or you can use a texture to control the growth and/or density.

Since you want some variation you’d probably want to have at least 3-4 variations of the pea and carrot. You could put them all in a cloner, or you could use particles to fill the bowl (with dynamics).
-
You’ve got the right idea. Dynamics is the only realistic way to get the objects piled up without intersecting each other.
-
It looks like you’re in polygon mode rather than object mode?

Here’s a real basic example: 9442_balloonsign.c4d.zip
You’d need to do a little more work to add rotation to the card. One way to do that would be to attack a null further up the string using the same method and then use an aim constraint on the card to look at the null.
-
Yes, good point.

The spline dynamics system isn’t that sophisticated, unfortunately. But you could attach the cardboard to the spline with Xpresso.
