Okay, after looking at this again and again, is it possible to animate each piece separately with a different camera view for each, and then mix them all together to where they end up landing naturally as a whole?
By this I mean letting each piece do what it does naturally when dropped, but then set the camera properly to where that piece sits exactly as it should at a universal angle with the puzzle in tact – then play all of them at their own time.

Or, what if I were to keep the dynamics on all of the pieces individually by mixing 25 scenes to where each piece ends up where it is supposed to from each angle (using the static puzzle as a universal target)? I hope that makes sense, but looking at this over and over (and over and over, lol), It is the only way I can make sense of it working. Additionally, none of the pieces bounce off of each other, a few of them go through eachother in their path, and even the last piece that falls, is sitting on the floor while it is still vertical, NOT on the puzzle piece it is standing above – indicating some scenes mixed, unless there is a way to control rigid body and dynamic attributes individually, object to object?

This helps, thanks.
I’m thinking I should show you what I am trying to do. My client wants me to duplicate this scene, but with various colors and images on the puzzle face:

So according to you description (if I am correct), I would start by throwing each piece into the scene with various bounces, then replace them with non-dynamic objects up until the point they land in their final spot – back to dynamic objects for the bounce upon landing in position. Is this correct?

Thanks for your help Brian, that was my problem. Being new to the pen tool, I had some gaps in there.

Well hmmmm. I went ahead and tried to apply the extrude nurb to every piece and for some strange reason, the caps are showing up on some but not on others.

Hi, thanks for the response.
I went ahead and learned how to use the pen tool properly in AI and was about to select the anchor points for each piece and put them on their own layers. Then I imported into C4D and it looks great!
Only problem now is that the caps are not working. I get the wall around each piece of the puzzle but no fillet and cap when I apply them. What could be causing this?

Thank you! I am trying to replace all of the figures with the laptop.

It still is not working. It swaps them out but they are invisible. I have attached a screen of what it looks like.

I upgraded to 14 and found it, thanks. Now my issue is that it when I do the replacement, none of the objects appear. It is a grouped object so is that because it is a null? When I try to connect and delete, the object disappears, so I am stuck at this point. Any ideas? Again, thanks for your help!

Thank you very much for the instructions, but I am unable to find anything in the drop down menus or by right clicking, in order to follow the description.
