Excessive Poll Visualization

Hello guys!

Remember the over-the-top 3D diagram of the polling results from the EXR tutorial? Here are the project files for the cinematic render!

The animation uses a simple rigid body simulation to tip the cards over. After the rigid body simulation was baked, an invisible hook object is used to increase the height of the cards, turning them into bars that show the polling results.

The polling results are projected with spot lights, using tiny text objexts in front of them. These text objects are invisible to the camera, but will cast a shadow. The size of the lights are set to 0 to emulate some sort of laser projection technology with very sharp edges. Very fun!

This scene was made with Blender v3.0. You can download the project file here: 3D_Diagram_v3.0_.blend

The font used is Helvetica Bold. I can't include it in the file, so I had to convert the text elements to mesh to ensure you can render it and get identical results.

Thanks for the support!
