I'm looking through forums and searching around on where I might be able to find an overhaul manual of the Rolls-Royce Trent 900. If anyone could link a direction on where I might find this, I would be greatly appreciative.

Please note all credit must go to Chris Shakal for the wonderfully detailed model of a RR Trent 900 engine with a cutout. The more detail exists in the 3D mesh, the better this effect looks. I just did a bit of organisation and some very simple mograph.
Main steps:
-
Imported a STL by Chris Shakal into C4D.
(Source: https://grabcad.com/library/rolls-royce-trent-900-turbofan) -
Mesh -> Conversion -> Polygon groups to objects.
It took C4D almost 20 mins to extract 2850 objects from the monolithic STL imported. This command can easily stop C4D for hours or freeze it, be carful what mesh you feed it.
The command goes trough the mesh, figures out what's connected to what and groups connected polygons into objects. -
A mograph fracture object and a effector in linear falloff make the animation. The camera animation is done with a target tag pointing to a animated null. The effector changes Position (X; -10), Scale (Uniform; -1), and Rotation (P; 180 Deg).
Lighting is done by an HDR and a couple of omni lights.
Rendered in the standard renderer with AO, GI is faked with environment channel in materials.
This can be used whenever you want to build something piece by piece or explode an object into its components. Works best with mechanical objects.
