You can also Command+Click on the Timeline just below the frame number.

I found out this is actually a known bug and has not been fixed as of R15.

Would a fracture object function instead of “make editable”?

Haven’t tried it yet. Maybe try different version of AI files. I know in regular c4d, the AI file had to be like Illustrator v8.
It also might not work if there are stray points in the file.

I tried a sweep nurb but had difficulties getting the bank to match the curvature of the “film rolls”. Thats why I was using the cloner objects to define the radius and degrees of the path. I was wrong about the Loft being the problem.

Ok, the Mospline worked! I had some lag but it was smaller. Then I reordered the objects on the list to mirror the desired order of operations (top to bottom) and it is all real time!
Thanks for your help.

Hmm, after further investigation, I believe the problem is with the Loft object specifically. I have other projects doing the same thing. Any suggestions?

How did you get it working?

Poor man’s solution:
Duplicated the footage layer a few times, offset each one by a frame, turned down opacity of the layers according to the number of layers. Example: 4 layers, 25% opacity on the top 3, 100% always on the bottom. This has a risk of adding fake motion blur, but sometimes that can be reduced afterwards with sharpening. Also, you need extra heads and tails.

Half of that is lighting. There are at least two light sources based on the highlights of the tubing. The soft shadows makes me think there is probably some global illumination (GI) going on as well.
Focus on one material at a time.
It looks like they started with existing photos of textures, then gave them depth using bump maps. Search around for some tutorials on texturing different materials that might be similar, and then tweak them. And/or, find stock material that are close and try to modify it to match.
Good luck, have fun!
