[@alecwry]

It is great that After Effects is FINALLY incorporating a 3D workspace, but it is weird that it is being framed as the underdog against Blender which is a free open-source software. To me the real takeaway is how cool it is that a free software still beats the output of a huge corporation like Adobe.

[@sceneobscene1384]

Not really because if you're doing 3D as a professional you're more on cinema 4D which is really optimized with the Adobe suite

[@msb8111]

@@sceneobscene1384 More and more studios are moving entirely to blender.

[@amadoubass3406]

@@sceneobscene1384 a lot of professionals use blender and cinema 4d is mostly used in the motion design space and its better to use some other 3d software if you are strictly doing 3d

[@cart6380]

after effects is not a 3d software though? Blender is completely designed for 3d and after effects isn't. And they are just starting on 3d while Blender is here for more than 29 years. While I dont think after effects will ever reach the level of Blender but both software are designed to do different things. You can do a lot of things in after effects that's impossible in Blender and vice versa.

[@sceneobscene1384]

@@cart6380 I never said that after was good for 3D or that it was 3D software, I just said that when you're a professional like a motion designer you're going to use cinema 4D to do 3D that's optimized for the adobe suite because adobe and maxon have an agreement. So adobe doesn't really need to beef up after for 3D since cinema 4D is way ahead of blender 👀

[@gdrgdrgdgrd]

For really really really simple 3D, yeah this after effect beta looks cool. But Blender is head and shoulders worth more time and effort to learn if you want to create 3D stuff. Plus Blender is FREE!!

[@GcVlogsAr]

Does that mean that I can use 3D environment file and use it as a replacement to my green screen background all inside after effects alone?

[@champovilla]

good luck with that... people making believing that one soft can do everything are naive or lyers ... AE doesn't even have a proper 3d space interface

[@aaronposey7003]

... you are aware every other compositor had this 20 years ago once shake died? there was a wave of 3D compositors. This is like Fusion via 2012 quality level

[@nithinsuku]

After Effects should focus on rewriting their code from scratch so us consumers can run it without buying 64gb of RAM

[@PremierPrep]

Blender definitely looks better. But also, this is not going to replace a dedicated 3D application right now with full scenes and environments. Sure, a little animation like this, AE does well now, but animating characters and such, this seems too limited.

[@romaintruchard2939]

Thank you

[@sininails]

I'm not sure why it took them so long to introduce this feature... I've been using 3D models in After Effects since 2014 utilizing Andrew Kramer's (Videocopilot) Element 3D Plugin. I'll certainly give this new 3D feature a go!

[@lifent]

As a videographer and motion designer i love your works too much! Keep on budy

[@carlanthonydelosangeles7411]

Love you guys. More power. ❤ Busy with work recently and I am glad that I can have time again with your videos.

[@JonFlores275]

Ive been wanting to dive into 3D design, but having to learn even more software seems daunting. The fact that AE can be a stepping stone for people like me who want to get the basics down before going full 3D is exciting. Thank you for making this video!

[@amadoubass3406]

yeh but ur not getting that because the basics of 3d start with modeling and texturing, which u cant do in after effects, its like learning animation in photshop u can but ur mising out on a lot

[@mueeduljahan9795]

Don't waste your time in After Effects if you are interested in 3D Design. Start with MAYA or Blender instead. This video is just a marketing strategy to sell Cinecoms After Effects template and Bundle.

[@TheMegaMinx]

Really cool that After Effect is finally adding the 3D stuff and it depends, how far Adobe is going to go with it. For now I think Blender is better since it is really good and free, but you know, well so what Adobe does🙂

[@melissal7984]

Loved this video! Wow! I'm so happy with the progression of After Effects in the 3d world...I love Blender BUT After effects + 3d is very exciting!

[@NikolaTomic]

Amazing! I would not even try to import .obj but now I'll have to try it! :) Question: could "Strawberry" object be any better in AE? Light-source seems to be missing but overall it is more than fantastic to have 3D in AE! 👍👍👍

[@AceAnimations]

Nothing can beat blender man, especially costs + it'll take some or many years for after effects to become a replacement of blender

[@Romssav]

Great video ! I think this update is meant to incorporate AE into the Substance workflow, thus you start your modelisation in substance modeler than you'd texture it in substance painter, maybe render it in substance stager and finally composite it into After effect. Looking forward to see the advances, it's great to see adobe finally investing into 3D deeply.

[@robertdouble559]

That sounds about right to me. I guess they'll eventually move one of the rendering engines from either stager or substance over to AE. That would the bare minimum. It would be great if they rekindled their relationship with Chaos Group and used some kind of implantation of Chaos V-Ray or Chaos Vantage into AE directly.

[@sublatio]

@@robertdouble559 yes, or to continue the relationship with maxon and implement redshift, since they already have at least some kind of integration with c4d at this time. at least we can dream!

[@Dstick1Spearfishing]

It's on its way, but Blender is still out front! Stay safe, have fun! 👌😲

[@mike309saa]

I use both programs and AE will never replace what Blender can do. AE has had 3D in the past and there are pluggings such as Video Copilot Element 3D but the only things possible are placing objects into a scene and then doing basic animations with them. You can't rig anything up so your animation options are limited. Also even if they do add a rigging feature, you still won't ever be able to model your own 3D models like you can do in Blender. By that point, they might as well make new software that replaces AE rather than try to integrate 3D modeling into it.

[@tufab3494]

I think Adobe's already developing their own 3D program to compete with Cinema 4D and Blender

[@johnbica]

@@tufab3494 God hear you. Adobe is already behind the curve to create 3D software that integrates with the other creative cloud apps.

[@TheVRtist]

Amazing stuff!! Will these new features make Element 3D unnecessary for adding 3D models and can you still do a VR output with them? Truly some amazing stuff though, I've been fighting the urge to change my workflow to using blender, this news makes me happy I stayed the course!

[@brthrm1511]

As an hobbyst Blender user I think this feature is great to use as hybrid approach mixing video and 3d asset for musique result but as far as 3d productions goes Blender still wins and considering how quickly it's improving AR has quite a catch up to do, but if Adobe decide to focus this feature to seamlessly mix video and 3d in a single workflow there's no stopping them from making AE the absolute best software for vfx, but then again I'm not a professional so I may be totally wrong

[@thijmencornelissen8722]

This update is awesome, but i don't think we'll be able to do physics sims in after effects any time soon, same goes for vertex animation and particle(hair) systems...

For simple animations it seems a viable tool (provided that you own an Adobe account, Blender is free)!! But I've always found a kick in the ass managing 3d scenes in AE

After Effects 24.1 (official release) now supports 3D models natively. It was released today.

It makes sense to compare Blender, UE, Houdini Karma, Redshift. Not all at once, but in groups of course... Perhaps also USD in Fusion... But AE is hopelessly behind.

[@nikyabodigital]

When does this go out to the main AE build

[@hawkteflon]

The Blender render looks great, but the AE render isn't far off. Looking forward to finally having this in AE.

[@d1namis]

Nah, AE looks really bad, it's a paid software, and blender is basically free. Adobe had 3 years with Adobe Dimension to do it right, but as i see renderer looks the same as Dimension. Also Blender usually have faster render time as well as cloud renderer. IMHO super overhyped feature.

[@lxstkid]

You are crazy if you think this looks good compared to blender hyper realism

[@kaikaikikit]

Blender looks much better. I use AE and Blender daily and i would rather do all my renders in Blender(not mentioning that i can model anything accordingly to match clients needs) AE still have a lot of homework to do before catching up...

[@AliNaserGFX]

thanks, It's a Very nice video, but you didn't talk about the rendering time.

[@vegardpedersen]

Wow, it is crazy to see 3D in After Effects. I am always interested in getting into 3D. I have tried Blender and Unreal Engine, but I have never become good at it. Maybe if After Effects continues to make this 3D integrated into AE, I can finally create something. I still feel like Unreal Engine is the easiest way to do 3D scenes for beginners like myself. What are your thoughts about that? My fascination with 3D has been since the tutorial you did on how to make fake 3D text in Premiere Pro. I thought it was so cool and did it a lot. I even used it in projects at school and people were so amazed at how good the 3D looked. And now, finally, they are beginning to integrate real 3D into Adobe. I wonder if they can use some of the AI they use in Photoshop for After Effects in the future too :-)

[@CinecomCrew]

I believe this new feature is perfect for people who want to create basic 3D motion graphics/add elements into their work. Might also be perfect for beginners to get started with 3D in an easy way

[@romaintruchard2939]

Blender is light years ahead with usd and with 4.0 there’s updated support for a lot of usd features. Adobe is all over the place with AI and marketing rather than focusing on building really solid integrated production ready tools. Personally I’ve ditched Autodesk and Adobe probably for good

[@CartoonChris1]

I'm betting on Project Avalanche in UE5 myself. I switched during UE 4.26 for production and haven't looked back. Yay no more render farm and with some practice, images in 5.3 get you to 99% of what an Arnold Render can get you in a fraction of the time. Same goes with AE so I try to do most things in camera in UE5 for the fasted turn around possible.

[@ak_fx]

The reason blender and ae look so similar is the limited skill in blender lol. Sure of you just want a transparent backround and hdri lighting AE miiighht get you there. But, if you want literally anything more from a 3d scene AE is pants compared to a proper 3d program like blender. Great video ❤

Element 3D is meer as 10 jaar oud, baie verouderd en steeds die beste 3D-inprop vir After. Hoekom is dit dat Adobe, selfs na 20 jaar, nie 'n redelike 3D-module binne After Effects kan skep nie? Miskien omdat After Effects 'n ou programmeertaal het? Sou dit nie beter wees om 'n nuwe sagteware te skep wat gebruikersvriendelik is vir 3D-skepping en GPU-weergawe nie, en dit is 'n uitbreiding van After Effects?

[@GraphicDesignNY]

Not that I think AE is going to be the best, I am inclined to believe that one can achieve more realistic and dynamic looks when adjustments are made to the parameters. You mention that briefly but it would be nice to see a deep dive into that aspect of a scene. Just using defaults is not a fair comparison.

For a big company to do upgrade like this seems cheap at all, dunno where all the profit went.

[@patfish3291]

It's great to see that 3D is now coming slowly to AE. I gave Adobe already 12 years ago the feedback in the Forum that AE needs real/native 3D support to compete in compositing/VFX. Now we are getting 3D but 10 years too late :D. Comparing Blender and AE in terms of 3D is absolutely nonsense. AE only can do very, very, very basic 3D stuff (import some models Geo - that's it for now :D). So After Effects can now do around 2% of what is possible in Blender :D ...hope Adobe brings use very fast more 3D features that we can really work with it.
