Re: Carrara export to RLA (for After Effects) 2003-12-29 - By Bob Dawson
Back
I Believe that AE has had some minor 3D abilities since version 5.5.
Some 3D effects can be created within the program, and 3D scenes can be
imported from programs such as Cinema 4D. I have not done this myself,
but I have read discussions on technique on other forums such as http:/
/www.postforum.com/forums/list.php?f=6 (Cinema 4D forum: do a search
for AE), or do a search within "Help" in AE. No, AE doesn't do *REAL*
3D, but utilizing the a program such as Cinema 4D with the proper plug-
in can provide some remarkable compositing effects.
Hope this helps,
Bob Dawson
