—————————————
3D models are starting to feel like a natural part of After Effects, and the updates just keep coming! 3D model import has been possible in the beta version of After Effects for a while now, but the dev team is really pushing what’s possible lately. In this video, I’ll show you how to work with 3D models in After Effects, and how to use features that were recently released. Image-based lighting with HDRIs, voxel-based shadows, and the new Adobe Standard Material is making 3D much more interesting in After Effects.

Awesome, thanks
This arrives at least 20 years late.
They need to bring this into the regular version asap.
It's been in BETA for AGES now.
What are they waiting for ?
wow incredible, after effects has captured the spirit of outdated shit 3d graphics. Truly inspiring.
So basically element3D is irrelevant now
Sorry pal, but I do not advise anyone to use beta version of AE. It must be full of bugs. I (and many other users in AE community) still struggling to make the release version work properly. This has a random memory bug that consumes my 128GB of RAM
Very exciting. Thanks for your showing your workflow jake. Really helpful
Someone know where can i find animated 3d objects with motion for after effects ?
I don't know… there are lot of limitations, I still prefer 3D software qith compositing
wow cool! 3d looks from the dino era. afx needs optimisations and speeeeeeed 🙁
This is trash, why would anybody needs this when there is an infinite amount of 3d alternatives. Why dont they optimize the software, make a better layer management system, adding tools for key frame etc. That would really make a diferent
This is a very welcome addition, but Element 3D is still king if you ask me. Much faster render time + custom texture from a composition + instancing ability + ability to break down model into pieces etc etc
The dream would be for Adobe just to buy and implement E3D
This is exciting I use blender and wanted to use element 3d but never got around to learn it, but now probably i don't have to it would be cool to just use after effects for that.
Literally no one wants this update. Its completely worthless. I bet you $10k that running this in AE is slowwwwww.
Pretty nice — when I switched to using 3D plugins in After Effects several years ago it changed my work fundamentally. This will really game changing once they incorporate 3D deformations, reflections, or the appearance of PBR materials. One thing to note about Element which I think most people forget, is that it was designed to be a 3D particle/flocking/morphing animation engine, not so much a full 3D scene designer.
Betten than 3D element if it works weel.
lets face it. conventional method of working with 3d project like c4d blender to after effects isnt exactly a smooth sailing. really hope one day after effects can come up with revolutionary method of making 3d artwork within after effects or make it more streamlined to work with 3d projects in after effects so that 2d and 3d motion can have no boundaries…
I was super excited for this until you got the part about trying to add a tint. That's a lot of work if you have a bunch of objects in your scene. Will stick with C4D lite, Element or Cinema 4D Thanks for the tutorial though. I look forward to playing around with it, just won't be committing any projects to it
Sometimes when working with 3D its frustrating when I want to do a small thing (like adding a photo of a cherry to the ice cream) and I have to do so many tedious steps(like importing a plane, adding a material, making sure the size of the image matches the plane, adjust the orientation and so on) and I wished there would be a feature where I could just import a png and place it there. After Effects is already good with 2D layers, I think if they develop 3D features that could produce even decent renders, it would make AE so powerful. I don't know of any tool in the market that has a better 2D 3D workflow transition than Blender(With its Grease Pencil). Let me know if you guys know of any better tools for this. Thank you Jake for explaining these features.
After Effects getting slower and buggier and buggier – fix that – and then add these features. This is a cool feature tbh though.
i think element 3d is better than that
unfortunately we can use beta version in iran and we should use element 3d
I used to play with Element 3D almost 7/8 years ago. Still a killer tool
Very exciting. Thanks for your showing your workflow jake. Really helpful. Thanks Jake for always doing amazing and helpful videos!.
Thank you for making this video, but it seems very primitive to me and not very well integrated thus far. I'm not that impressed. Element 3D is much better.
It sounds new Amazing added features to AE. Hope this 3d feature will encourage AE users to use it❤
this looks like it could be great for simple 2.5d style 3d animation. Hope Adobe does more than this though
If you have Adobe After Effects you also have a basic Cinema 4D app included.
Wow, this video got some serious responses from you all! I'd like to say just a few things.
Firstly, thank you for not directing your frustration at me :). I am doing my best to present the information and show how you could able to make use of it. I do agree with a lot of the frustrations that have been brought up, and fully admit that basically any alternative is a better choice for 3D work than this beta feature which is very much a work in progress.
I'm generally a very optimistic guy, and I've been using AE long enough to remember non-dockable workspace panels. I've been seriously impressed by how far it's been pushed as a software and what's capable using it now versus when I first started using the program. At the same time, it's incredibly frustrating to have to rely on third-party tools to make AE tollerable to work with.
Every piece of software is going to have downfalls; every program crashes, is missing a feautre, or does something absurdly complicated for no apparent reason. But the fact that AE has virtually zero competition in the scope of it's application makes it difficult for me to be pessimistic. Yes there's Cavalry, but that's not going to replace compositing work. Yes there's the Grease Pencil in Blender, but that's not going to replace text animators and shape layers. Yes there's Resolve, but I use AE for more than just VFX and compositing.
If there were an alternative that could do all of the things I use AE for, I'd be much less likely to stick with Adobe. Learning softward like UE5 and Blender for FREE is making it difficult to be satisfied with some of AE's pitfalls, but I've made a career out of working with and teaching others how to use After Effects, so I won't be jumping ship any time soon.
One final note! I realize how hacky the Calculations matte layer technique is, but that's exactly what it is — a hack! This is a beta feature of After Effects, and it will not be long before that hack is completely uneccesary. I showed it to teach a technique, and to make use of a beta feature that is not ready for primetime yet.
Keep being awesome, and thanks for all the comments.
thank you please keep going… I like how you go deep into it thx again
Il marche super bien mrc encore une fois
Poor Andrew Kramer…
Calculation is a magic trick, thanks for that!
Bro, do you have a phd in After Effects release notes or what? Thanks so much. Excited to use this.
It's like they're adding son fancy thing to maintain the occasional user market, and bloatting their piece of unfinished software with things you will never use on real work.
Awesome feature
MY MAN USES YOUTUBE DISCRIPTION ON IT'S FULL POTENTIAL
I guess my question is why. They already have C4D lite and cineware built in. I'd rather they make that a more seamless integration that would allow you not to have to jump back and forth for simple property changes. They'd have to invest some serious time and money into making this new thing into more than a gimic. Even DaVinci's Fusion seems more usable than this.
This software is like a dump, it forms a slow mess. Lines of garbage code from the 90s are still used inside… It's just a pity that it was born too soon so many people followed it, everyone suffered with it but a few escaped. anyway thank you😅
this is sad.. i heard ur warning at the start of the video but AE is light year behind element ..
