Use the Software renderer to preview while you continue to work on the composition. Shaders and multi-passes are not displayed. Software: Uses the settings to provide the fastest rendering, by letting you choose Display settings. Standard (Draft): Uses the Standard renderer but turns off slower settings like anti-aliasing for better interactivity. Choose Edit Edit Original to edit the.c4d file in CINEMA 4D.When you import and add a.c4d file that was created by the Cineware 3.1 version of the Exporter to your composition, you can view the scene through an After Effects camera by first adding a camera and then setting the Camera setting in the Cineware effect to Centered Comp Camera.Any After Effects 3D layers that you add to the composition line up with the CINEMA 4D scene layer after export. You can import the.c4d file that you have created in to your After Effects composition for editing. To view 3D text layer strokes before exporting, make sure that the composition renderer is set to Classic 3D. While the Ray-traced 3D renderer in After Effects does not render strokes for 3D text layers, strokes are still exported when enabled. Text animation features that are not supported include: text animators, kerning, tracking, vertical text, paragraph text, and text on path.Strokes are exported for 3D text and shape layers into the.c4d file. However, this option has limited support for character and paragraph formatting, and animation of text layer properties. In this option, you can modify the font and text in CINEMA 4D. You cannot modify the font and text content in CINEMA 4D.The Preserve Editable Text option exports 3D text layers as extruded text objects in the.c4d file.
This option retains the fidelity of the layer: character and paragraph formatting, and animation of text layer properties. You can export your compositions with 3D animated text and shape layers to Maxon CINEMA 4D using the After Effects' Live 3D pipeline for round-tripped 3D workflow.3D Shape layers are exported as extruded spline objects, and includes animation of shape layer properties.The Extrude Text as Shapes option exports 3D text layers as extruded spline objects in the.c4d file. This streamlined workflow does not require you to create intermediate pass or image sequence files. After Effects can render CINEMA 4D files, and you can control some aspects of rendering, camera, and scene content on a per-layer basis. You can create a CINEMA 4D file (.c4d) from within After Effects and you can work with complex 3D elements, scenes, and animations.To enable interoperability, CineRender, the Maxon CINEMA 4D rendering engine, is integrated with Adobe After Effects. CINEMA 4D is a popular 3D modeling and animation tool from Maxon.Closer integration with CINEMA 4D allows you to use Adobe After Effects and Maxon CINEMA 4D together.
