I need to create a 25 second animation of a conveyor belt with objects being carried along and falling off the end and pilling up on the floor. At first thought it sounds like a job for Newton. It would be easy enough to hand animate the movement along the belt, but getting realistic - or more correctly believable and attractive - motion as the objects pile up would be very time consuming.

My question is, for someone who has zero experience with Newton, would the time spent to download, install, learn and produce something be a wash against just doing it by hand once all is said and done. I would need to control certain aspects, as the occasional object is picked up by an operator and place into a box, therefore would not be managed by Newtons physics.

Any ideas if this is a path I want to go down. I have to complete this tonight.
