Thanks for this breakdown! We're glad you saw how nice it can be to work with After Effects layers for your various texture maps right in the AE interface. We hope the easy UI makes it fun to use. As you mentioned regarding some of the current limitations, this is the very first iteration of Geo; we have lots planned for the future! One note: for animated models, Geo can use OBJ sequences too. You just have to import them via Geo's model browser (since After Effects' recent update made it so OBJ sequences can't be imported into AE anymore).

Thanks for the feedback. I'm certain that like all the other RG tools Geo will become an in despicable part of my 3D workflow in Ae. I anticipate a bright and extruded future for it :-)

If you want to be a professional artist you're going to do it in cinema 4D It's going to look 1000 times better. Plus you can still use Cineware for your compositing. Doing full 3D in after effects is always going to be frustrating. Learning a true 3D program is going to be frustrating in the beginning but get better and better with time.

Thanks for the comment. In this video I wanted to test the level of 3D in After Effects. Hopefully I managed to articulate it.

@@SternFX I was making the comment for people watching this video. The main reason I made the comment was showing the improper workflow for Cineware. Nobody that's trying to be a professional would use cinema 4D and after effects in this way. I understand you're trying to create a like for like comparison but using it improperly is not really a comparison and gives the wrong impression that's how you use Cineware. Something I always say just because you can doesn't mean you should especially with after effects

8:24 Doesn't the camera layer in after effects already have a built in depth of field option? Or does it not work with the advanced renderer?
@PaperTrailStudios3 ай бұрын
It normally only works natively with Classic 3D renderer. There are workarounds to get 3D depth with Advanced, but there is a lot of give and take with each renderer.
@SternFX3 ай бұрын
I hope that at some point it will work without these workarounds such as the 3D Channel Extract or Depth Scanner plugin that I showed in the previous tutorial.
