This After Effects 25.1 Update Is INSANE (New 3D Features)

[@blackout1111]

Getting closer to what Element Plugin has been doing for 10 yrs

[@HamilBrosStudiosLubbock]

Right? I'd say a good 20% there. No lighting (except for HDRI) and no DOF without precomping is pretty ridiculous

[@ujwalvibing]

After effects is like in the first season of 3D😭🙏

[@Th30ory]

The most funny thing I found on the internet today 😂😂

[@smallhat1]

Blender is still better for 3d modeling it has everything you need to 3d model but after effects is getting pretty good i wonder what there going to do in the future

[@AfterEffectsBasics]

Yes, we know and also admit that Blender is better in everything 3D. That's why we meant it as a joke and also saying it was a joke☺️

[@smallhat1]

@ ok thank you for the amazing video

[@user-ev6fj5up9w]

Blender 🔥🔥🔥It's like a Super-Man with multi powers🤩

[@nitromusik9275]

Finally Adobe is putting in more effort and time and money into giving us tools we could just use a real 3D software for! I was already afraid they would opt to combat their bugs or give us the basic features we still need to buy plugins for or work on their ancient code base to someday give us a a version that is able to playback things without buffering. Nope more useless 3D features in a software that offers 0,000% 3D toolsets to go along with it.

Why does this comment have only one like?

[@axumchris]

How did you get the mixamo character in to a glb format to import into after effects?

[@stillremain.artwork]

So they finally cracked Element 3D?

[@UnRais-d2e]

@@stillremain.artwork it would have been so much better, and way more useful if they just did a deal with Andrew Kramer and bought E3D off of him to build into AE and develop further. E3D is mega old at this point, but still does way more and looks way better than this sorry attempt.

[@craigdvance]

@@UnRais-d2e 1000 percent agree. At this stage in the game how could they release this with a straight face.

[@axumchris]

How did you get the fbx to a glb file?

[@adyanknx]

how did you end up getting a depth map for the bridge?

[@EuAprendiNaInternet]

Great video guys!

[@swancoffeehouse5983]

How does your OBJ already have shading materials? 🤔 I have searched this and never found an answer, if I make a mesh in Blender, give it materials there and save it as an OBJ, will the materials carry over? Also The 3D Channel Extract is new, right? 😮 I remember them introducing it for still images in Lightroom. A depth map would help a lot with iPhone 15/ 16 footage.

[@AfterEffectsBasics]

You can bake your materials into you OBJ file. Making them work in After effects. The 3D extract is in fact new, but not always working as it should...🙈

[@williamcousert]

Subscribed!

[@MolediesOflife]

ae can use gpu ?

[@amantv9326]

How did this *_3d channel extract_* fx Took the BRIDGE into account as well???? Or was the Bridge also a 3D model??

[@historyrhymes1701]

It created a depth map . The object doesn’t need to be 3d for the effect to do to that it can calculate the depth of images as well

[@gregkrazanski]

@@historyrhymes1701 no it can't, that effect needs depth information to create a depth map. i also have no clue how that worked unless the footage was an exr with a depth pass

[@dibajuvetteblerk4458]

Amazing

[@theminecraftnerd04]

Wait there is a after effects basics channel and I only find it now 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@vicklegend6177]

After Effect is After Effect, Blender is Blender... Don't compare... Blender is Super great with 3D and we all know it....

[@AfterEffectsBasics]

[@Basiscitx]

Is it out or in beta phase ???

[@inigogc]

It's still in Beta.

[@AfterEffectsBasics]

No, it's in the new 2025 update. So not in the beta anymore...😉

[@inigogc]

@ not here in the UK. do they do delayed rollouts? It hasn’t come out of beta here yet.

[@Basiscitx]

@@AfterEffectsBasics sorry it's in beta phase currently (version 25.1) 🥲🥲🥲

[@WaldausZeichen]

Ok... What kind of an Adobe Fanboy are you?! Kills every 3D-Software with this few Features it has now? and with now i mean freakin' 2024. So yeah... yeah... no.

[@YordleStrategist]

lmao ikr, if they dont fix the shit lag n rewrite the whole software first

[@pivad1388]

they did say "all jokes aside". chill tf out

[@AfterEffectsBasics]

Sorry for the confusion, next time we will make sure to add a sarcasm indicator...🙈

[@adobe_00]

They clearly said that it was a joke

[@adelacelle]

This is so hard to understand your sentence

[@nikyabodigital]

This is nothing compared to blender but its good basic feature. You can do lot of things.

[@rano12321]

I mean forget about blender, ae still is nowhere close to the 3d capabilities of nuke or fusion lol. there's a reason why this software never gets used in big movies outside of this internet, youtube world.

[@gregkrazanski]

not for compositing, but for 2d motion design it has no competitors really

[@rano12321]

@@gregkrazanski yeah, but these guys do comp here and make comp tuts in ae. for mograph fusion has a lot of cool stuff as well, never done a 1-1 comparison with ae but there are lot of companies making plugins for resolve like motion vfx who makes all of those stuff in fusion.

[@UnRais-d2e]

@@gregkrazanskifor 2D stuff cavalry is the way to go, it’s lightning fast, and has all the features AE should have had years ago. AE is just marketplace reliant software now.

[@小笼包-m3o]

​@@UnRais-d2e two very different softwares bro. There is a lot of things Cabarly can't do. ( Not to mention how buggy it is now ) However the instruments for 2D typography in Cavary seems to be more advanced than AE. ( again I'm looking forwards to change my mind about it )

[@UnRais-d2e]

@@小笼包-m3o yea that’s why I said for 2D cavalry is good. It can do A LOT that AE can’t. And for everything else that AE can do that Cavalry can’t, there’s Resolve/Fusion. Character wise, there’s Moho or Cartoon Animator. More focused tools are always going to be better at what they do than the jack of all trades that is AE. I’ve worked professionally with AE for 15 years, and it sucks to see it going from a once great bit of kit to lagging behind in so many ways. But they only have themselves to blame, and there’s no ‘brand loyalty’ from me, I’ll always use the best tool for the job, which means that lately, I’ve been using AE less and less.

[@OgglemcSly]

You baited me by putting a cross next to a truly free, community based open source solution for creativity, next to an aging, barely maintained piece of software that is rented for an absurd price, that is only propped up by expensive plugins.

[@hoodaud]

Why compare with Blender instead to cinema 4D or others 3D apps? 😂

[@Mike_Dee_]

Absolute trash from Adobe. No shadows on the basic lights??? lolol.. No reflectivity, refraction, transparency on the materials?? Even element 3D v1 is light years ahead of these features. What a Joke.

[@JJomoro]

Next update

[@HamilBrosStudiosLubbock]

The fact that it doesn't work with lights, doesn't work with the camera's ability for depth of field, and requires precomping just to get DOF is pretty worthless. We've had better from Video copilot for over a decade with less complication.

[@MusclesLikePapi]

I used to love After Effects. Ah Adobe, sigh.

[@akbarshaik2125]

[@Cloudcrab44]

[@faceless_productions]

I doubt after effects will become a 3d program. For now, it's like a beginner 3d app

*OBJ file you mean!

Correct, but the OBJ comes from wavefront OBJect. So object file is also a correct name😉
