Dive into After Effects’ native 3D system and learn how to turn it into a reliable, production-ready workflow. This session covers everything from importing 3D assets to lighting, materials, and camera animation, with practical solutions for
working around current limitations. We’ll build a complete 3D scene from scratch, explore efficient camera techniques,
use a helpful free script, and finish with post effects that add polish, without late nights or unnecessary complexity.
You’ll learn how to:
Import 3D models and control embedded animations
Work with lights and shadows
Create and animate parametric meshes
Apply and customise Substance (SBSAR) materials
Integrate 3D particles into your scene
Animate a camera using a custom-built rig
Create depth of field and apply post effects
