Get ready for a super cool tutorial about the new 3d features within after effects! new lights, materials, shadows! there will also be an advanced tutorial soon about creating realistic 3d scenes within after effects
Environment Lights create realistic lighting, reflections, and shadows on 3D layers by surrounding the scene with an image-based environment map. In After Effects Beta, environment lights only work in the Mercury 3D renderer.
To add an environment light, choose Layer New Light, and set the Light Type to Environment.
Environment lights use a default environment map. This can be changed to use an HDR or HDRI format image layer as an environment map:
1. Import an HDR (Radiance HDR) file into your project.
2. Add the HDR file to a comp with an environment light.
3. Twirl open the environment light’s properties in the Timeline panel.
4. Set the light’s Source property to the HDR layer.
The HDR layer’s visibility will be disabled when it is chosen as an environment map. You can re-enable this if you wish, however this will continue to be a 2D render of the layer. To simulate the HDR layer as a background scene layer, apply the CC Environment effect to a solid layer the same dimensions as the comp.
Note: The existing Layer Environment Layer switch does not work with the Mercury 3D renderer. This option works only with the Cinema 4D renderer.
There are many HDR and HDRI environment maps available to download on the internet, or you can create your own using Substance 3D Sampler.
While environment lights only accept HDR format files as environment maps, you can easily convert other image file formats to HDR using Photoshop:
1. Open the image file in Photoshop.
2. Choose Image Mode 32 Bits/Channel. (Radiance format requires 32 bits per channel.)
3. Choose File Save As or Save a Copy.
4. Set the Format to Radiance.
You can also export a Radiance HDR file from After Effects comp: choose Composition Save Frame As File, then open Output Module settings and set the Format to Radiance.
Environment maps must be single HDR frame layers, not sequences. Effects and animation applied to the environment map are ignored.
Environment light shadows
The default image-based lighting does not cast shadows. When you add an Environment light to your scene, you gain the ability to cast voxel shadows with the default lighting or from an assigned HDR layer. All layers in the scene will cast shadows when Cast Shadows is enabled.

Thank-you so much for this! Looking forward to your next 3d environment tutorial 😊!!

[@flo.motion]

Will be out in about a week!!

[@LionElAtonArt]

This video is just perfect! Excellent work!

[@flo.motion]

Thank you!!

[@zohaibmalik819]

Really cool video. Can't wait to see the next one.

[@flo.motion]

Thank you!!

[@The_Triangulator]

Thank you! Cheers 🎉

[@flo.motion]

Thanks for watching!!

[@rgkaczynski]

nice! more 3D tutorials in the future pls!!!

[@flo.motion]

Next one is already in the making!!

[@CreativePunk5555]

The world of 3D is really progressing forward - I like Element 3D and it has a ton of power and perks but this AE update allows me to not jump in Element for everything, which is nice. Speaking of Element 3D - Seems the next step for Andrew is to build Element into more of a C4D program!

[@flo.motion]

Haha indeed! Hope he is fine though...

[@mardoperero]

Have you seen anything from ‘Andrew’ in the last 5 years? 😅

[@CreativePunk5555]

Not at all. lol. But I do hope he comes out from the shadows with something amazing. He does have the talent to make a splash though. @@mardoperero

[@themuckyman]

Great stuff Flo ! Does the comp have to be in 32 bit for the HDRI to work correctly ?

[@flo.motion]

Indeed!!

[@historyrhymes1701]

This video is just what I needed

[@flo.motion]

Perfecto!!

[@JoeDavidBros]

Awesome as always 🎉👌

[@flo.motion]

Thanks a lot!!

[@hugboat808]

I’ll stick to doing my 3D work in a program meant for it and comp in the work later.

[@flo.motion]

Hey! Got you! I don't think AE is trying to replace a 3D software, but there are so many tasks now that you can do natively without switching back and forth all the time! I immediately think about 100s of small compositing tasks. Just adding one element and being able to change its perspective is so powerful!!

[@tomo6716]

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

[@flo.motion]

yes yes yes

[@lookhowshegobbledthat]

Thank you 3Daddy ❤

[@flo.motion]

Haha!! Thanks for watching!!

[@sebass4322]

Great thank you very much

[@flo.motion]

thanks for watching!!

[@JoshuaPerlson2010]

All of these 3D updates are still stuck in the 90's and the fact that Element 3D has probably been out for almost 10 years now really makes all of this embarrassing for Adobe. The fact that a third party developer can create features in their own software better than Adobe themselves... and a decade earlier is just plain sad.

[@flo.motion]

Better late then never?? 🤔🤔

[@nubnubbud]

@@flo.motion maybe some decade they'll get proper multithreading or GPU usage.

[@ProductionCrate]

pretty sweet! Wonder if they'll start supporting USD

[@flo.motion]

Tnx!! Think it is obj and glb at the moment as their stock library also has those formates for a long time!

[@kingdesignerr]

Really cool to see Production create supporting Good talent 🙌🏻

[@kingdesignerr]

Finally 🔥

[@flo.motion]

Haha... yeah!!

[@Falconsfhc]

I’ve been working with gtlb files exported from substance stager with materials applied. I’m finding the clear plastic/glass won’t render properly in after effects beta. Is anyone else having this issue? Also can’t seem to import obj files consistently.

[@flo.motion]

Hey! That is a known issue unfortunately. Transparency is something that they are currently working on at Adobe!

[@Canaldeopiniaodesativadojaera]

Please help me, I just updated the beta version of After, but some functions are not appearing, such as the "Advanced 3D" option or the light invoronment function. What do I have to do to release these functions?

[@flo.motion]

But you are able to import a 3D object??

[@deepakmaharjan5022]

really u r great

[@flo.motion]

Thank you!!

[@MohamedElHanoun]

Well they learn from Element 3d

[@flo.motion]

Indeed

[@williamcousert]

DaVinci Resolve 18.6 has a lot of new 3D features. Can you compare the two?

[@flo.motion]

For sure! Didn't knew that...

[@williamcousert]

@@flo.motion Thanks! USD support is still in its infancy, but it looks like they are taking it seriously. There's a bunch of videos on KZbin that go over USD support in DaVinci Resolve 18.5 and 18.6.

[@ninafuger7145]

Cool 😎

[@flo.motion]

😘

[@xradicaljetx]

sick

[@flo.motion]

🤘

[@fabiogloor]

Ah, cool diese 3D Funktionalitäten. Was ist das Problem wenn in AE die Texturen nicht angezeigt werden? Besten Dank noch...

[@flo.motion]

hey! Depending on your format! What exactly are you importing into AE?

[@fabiogloor]

Hi,@@flo.motion thx for the reply. I've tried it with obj. Now I make the workaround via glb where it's working fine. But with obj I have always the problem with the textures...

[@BenniundKia]

❤❤❤

[@flo.motion]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@S9universe]

Si it was hdri 🤔🤔 cool

[@flo.motion]

Jeah HDRs it is!!

[@mr.critic]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@flo.motion]

Tnx!!

[@lukafilm]

The amount of lagging when you added the HDRI was a bit worrying, no?

[@flo.motion]

Lagging? What do you mean??

[@lukafilm]

At 5.20, when you rotate the letters. Seems like the camera response time is pretty bad. If it really behaves like that it might be hard to work like that. But perhaps its something else.

[@zohaibmalik819]

@@lukafilm I am not exactly sure and I felt it too. But it could be due to Camera Lens Blur effect in that comp. But let's see if that's correct and wait for a response from @flo.motin.

[@doodlve]

Gold without reflections is just a Yellow stone

[@flo.motion]

It is, right??

[@doodlve]

I don't know, I speak no English@@flo.motion

[@hamedazhang1985]

Adobe Is Falling Behinde Other Softwares in all Categuries: Davinchi Resolve, Blender, Gimp, Inkskape : There are all free but better than Adobe's Softwares

[@flo.motion]

hmmm but none of them are compositing softwares??

[@xanzuls]

@@flo.motion Fusion is included in Resolve.

[@xanzuls]

Adding bunch of 3D features in a 2.5D software is just pure comedy.

[@flo.motion]

Why is that??
