details of CINEMA 4D integration with After Effects

Adobe by Todd Kopriva

In our list of what’s new and changed in the next version of After Effects, we gave an overview of what’s included with regard to CINEMA 4D and its integration with After Effects. Now, let’s get to the nitty-gritty details.

First, here’s a list of resources that demonstrate and discuss these features in even more detail than I’m going to provide here (as well as being much prettier than the current plain-text blog post from a words guy):

• beautiful graphical demonstration from Maxon
• John Dickinson’s overview of the CINEMA 4D integration
• Rick Barrett’s two-hour video series on Cineversity, which is a great, simple introduction to CINEMA 4D, with the last video being about the After Effects CINEWARE features
• introduction to CINEMA 4D integration from Lynda.com in Chris & Trish Meyer’s overview of the new version
• two videos from Mathias Möhl in his overview of the new version
• Josh Weiss’s overview of the CINEMA 4D integration
• Nick Campbell (Greyscale Gorilla) giving two overviews, one for After Effects folks and one for CINEMA 4D folks
• Nick Campbell’s FAQ list about the new integration
• Video Copilot’s Andrew Kramer talking about how amazing this all is, including reminding everyone that the Element 3D model and shader packs will work quite nicely with this new integration.

Now, on to the details. read more...
