How can I do 3D Titles in After Effects?
Josh

XD Clicked on 3DS Max tutorial, I'm like "Oh I don't have 3DS Max downloaded." Go to Autodesk.com, MY SUBSCRIPTION HAS EXPIRED. "Crud," I think. Then, I realize I have C4D. I go to open it, guess what: SUBSCRIPTION EXPIRED. My head drops, then realize After Effects has C4D R14. And so here I am.

According to me, all the 3D Softwares are the same but the interface is different only. Its just the matter of understanding the softwares if you are smart enough

What is better C4D or 3ds MAX!???
manz
13 years ago
There are some differences, some say 3ds max is better, but C4D is more easier and user friendly... they are both powerful programs, and deliver same power depending on the user's creativity and skills I recommend C4D for beginners, get 3Ds MAX if you can learn the complexity way fast

Very good video tho thnx!

I'm also 13, we guys need to stick together and make things that are in are reach!
I use Blender 3D, and it is like a breeze to me.

I am now learning more complex programs like these, but I think I need to go for a bigger challenge! I am now going to move on to 3ds max.
Hope you get good at this!

Dominic

This is simple enough. in the c4d (r12) render settings you simply set the render options to a photoshop/AE type like PNG or TIFF and also make sure you have ALPHA CHANNEL selected before rendering your image/3d text

@ michael Re: How to Export C4D Projects to After Effects

Hopefully you get the idea or someone can explain it better, but simply put, just go to your "Render Settings" in C4D (CMD B on a Mac) and goto save and you will see under "Composting Project File" you can export your project in .aec format for After Effects.

Good Luck

Your tutorial is hilarious especially your "as you can see I don't know what I am doing" comment ! haha! I am proficient with After effects and the adobe CS, and am starting to learn C4D. I found the program annoying in many ways, especially with its nomenclature to things (eg. the extrude amount they call it "movement", or rendering a track matte they call it "object buffer. argh! It is like learning a new language), but maybe the 3d world is like that....? (I have no experience with 3d before C4D)

Anyways, I enjoy your tutorial as well as all the other afx tutorials as well. Great job! Thanks a bunch Andrew!

Hey It's Richard here, and do not believe, that brasilian guy, i am your greatest fan
I tried at least 10times to use programs, like AE, or C4D, but failed always. You changed my life entirely. At last I can use both programs and getting better day by day. Only problem with this program is that it's impossible, to stop practising and that will lead to loose my wife
Kust (half-)kiddin'.

My question is that, how can I import 3D tesxt into After Effects?

Big Thanx for helping us and readin' and good luck in the future!

Andrew has a great 3d bullet tutorial called "The Bullet". You can buy it and download it. It covers exactly what you need not only in C4D but also in 3Ds Max and Blender.

Have fun!

You are the best among the tutors for video effects.

How much time should I need to learn all tutorials for free using as professional,
If I start your course from the begining?
I can use this programme pretty well.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thaks again,

Instead of dropping the bend onto the plane. Make a plane object, bend, and a null. drop both plane and bend into the null. Now you have more control over the position or rotation, if you choose to move the plane and bend.

Ok, "tw" Use the explode modifyer, if you don't know how to use it, watch this quick tutorial I made on the explode modifier. The video and audio quality are low, but I just work with what is very cheap and FREE! ; ) as do most blender users I am sure I am trying to find someplace to put my videos for the quality to be better, but you can easily follow along in low quality.

Andrew, I love all your tutorials and I am GRATEFUL that they're free...no complaints here. I have C4D, 3DMAX, MAYA and Houdini...modeling is modeling...most professional 3D apps have great modeling tools...in the end it all boils down to these things: creativity, 'render patience', shaders, materials and lighting...Mainly materials and lighting.

Andrew continue with the great work...you've helped me to become a better filmmaker and VFX artist and I am grateful!

finally, you've covered a Cinema 4D tutorial which is very helpful since Im starting to learn this product. I would say that i've already covered the basics stuff in C4D R10. Ive been wanting to learn how to integrate After Effects and C4D. The very popular scenario would be creating an electronic billboard in C4D and then importing this in After effects and placing the video in 'electronic billboard'. Could you show us on how to do this? This would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Grat Tut! mayamaya??? MAYAMAYA!!! *g* I used to use 3dsmax when i started out in 3d too. I tried cinema4D, but never got the hang of it. As u say: Quarky Interface I then decided to change to maya Better solution than to change to C4d, at least to me. But ur right: *most* of the last two tuts really transfer to maya (and most other 3d appz), except u have to do deeper into lighting with maya and use mentalRay to get softshadows and ambient occlusion, but thats no big deal. thanx for the tuts, they are a great starting point for the 3d beginners around here. keep up the good work!

P.S.: 3d-copilot.net...? ever thought ´bout that? no? maybe you should... 3d-copilot.net... would be great to see that one online... Just have to get rid of yer private life, think about it ;-D

Hey Good stuff as usual. Just a comment to all on the application side. Don't get caught up on what app is better. What I think so great about AK style of tuts is even though it using a specific application of choice it all about the technique. When it comes down to it you can render out a animation in passes using whatever tool and then tweak it later in Photoshop or After effects, Shake or Motion, etc(even ms word lol jk). That the proper and fastest way to work.

Key things to take away from this tut

1. How to create text using a specific technique
2. How create a material for a specific look
3 How create a seamless background
4. How to create a light
5. position your camera or view port for rendering
6. using the ambient occlusion render algorithm

those looking for mograph tutorials can refer to here

thanks a lot.
Would you be able to create a tutorial on how to work with rendered 3D objects in after effects?

Now we are talking,

Cinema 4D is really beyond 3ds max! If you don’t belief than check out the website http://www.maxon.net/pages/gallery/videogallery_4.html. Also the user face is match more advanced and allows to create incredible animations. So far my opinion.

Just noticed that the new tutorials were about 3D Text, which also could be created with the shatter FX and the right settings in AE.

(Andrew, you got my eMail if you want to have more information about it

Hey Andrew,

It's me again. Just wanted to say thanks again for the Tut. I followed the one for 3DS Max and it was great, as also this one. I use both 3D apps. and I really like what your doing. Even if I was just using Maya, it wouldn't matter. Your teaching techniques that will help people across the board no matter what 3D program they are using. Thank You so much for your efforts and time that you are spending to do this.

Some of these people need to get a grip and stop demanding stuff and acting like babies. In case some of you have not noticed, "THESE ARE FREE"!!! So ease up off Andrew and cut him a break! >-(

Keep up the good work Andrew... You are the man!

Andrew you read my mind...I saw the 3d studio max tut. a couple hours ago....but as a mac user I have no way of taking advantage of this landmark jump into 3d. Not wanting to be left behind I started looking for an alternative....Cinema 4d was the best option I could find for me, it's user friendly Mac and PC and produces great results. I know it will be twice the work...but could you continue the trend of teaching both. I am amazed by your vast knowledge, skill and creativity and I am honored to be one of your students.
