After Effects and Cinema 4D Lite

One of the most exciting new features in After Effects is the integration of Cinema 4D using the CINEWARE plug-in and a free version of Cinema 4D Lite. Both provide a wide assortment of new 3D tools and options that are difficult or nearly impossible to achieve in After Effects alone. This book clearly demonstrates how the new 3D workflow bridges the two applications together to raise the design bar for motion graphics and broadcast design.

Hands-on exercises teach you essential production skills including:


Modeling in CINEMA 4D Lite

Importing 3D models in After Effects

Tracking 3D motion in After Effects

Compositing with CINEWARE

Using MoGraph features in CINEMA 4D

Rendering and optimization techniques
