Great stuff–thanks for sharing. The Marble track reminded me of great CGI classics like the Mind’s Eye series.
I also enjoyed the small set / stage that you made for rotating some of your pieces.
here it is.

Here is another 3D movie I made with processing
It’s a Play-through of a Mondrian Game I made.
It’s a Homage to Mondrian, see Gioco da definire
The levels Mondrian runs through are similar to his own art work. In each level he has to reach a rotating gate that leads to the next level. It’s a simple cursor steering plus space to jump.

Do you know the game peg solitaire?
Here is a movie of a 3D version of peg solitaire, 3D-Solitaire. It has 7 etages / levels and is playable by mouse. You can change the view with Peasycam. You can save and load games.

I am willing to share all the Code for the movies, just ask

preliminary for Turtle (Logo) for kids
This is a video that shows a Sketch that is a preliminary for Turtle (Logo) for kids.
Kids learn what the Turtle is and can steer it with the mouse.
Message me when you want to see the code.
(there’s one version with mouse input and one with keyboard input (for steering the mouse))
