Learn about new features and enhancements in this latest release.
December 2023 release (version 24.1)
The December 2023 (24.1) release presents a new feature, user-requested workflow improvements, and important fixes in After Effects that enable you to work more efficiently and design even the finest details without compromising your creative vision.
3D model import
Natively import 3D models (GLB, GLTF) with materials directly into After Effects and design your compositions in a unified space with 3D shapes and text.
3D Model Import
3D Model Import in After Effects allows you to import 3D model files in GLTF and GLB formats and render them in the same 3D space as native After Effects cameras, lights, and other 3D layers.
3D model files can be imported from your local disk or from your Creative Cloud Libraries.
Import 3D model from your local system
Import 3D models from Creative Cloud Libraries
Image-Based Lighting
Use 360-degree High Dynamic Range Image (HDRI) files as a light source to realistically place models into a scene with complementary lighting and shadows, making it look like the objects naturally belong there.
Use 360-degree High Dynamic Range Image (HDRI) files as a light source to realistically place 3D models into a scene with complementary lighting and shadows. Image-Based Lighting uses an image to produce realistic lighting, reflections, and shadows on 3D layers by surrounding the scene with an image-based environment map. Be it a subtle lighting effect or strong shadows, Image-Based Lighting enables you to ensure that your 3D objects appear as though they naturally belong to the environment your animation needs.
Advanced 3D renderer
Render 3D motion graphics with this high-performance, GPU-powered engine that offers high-quality antialiasing and transparency.
A new high-quality, performance-oriented composition renderer - Advanced 3D, enables you to render beautiful 3D motion graphics with high-quality antialiasing and transparency. Advanced 3D has an underlying rendering engine shared with other Adobe and Substance products and uses Adobe Standard Material properties for physically-based rendering.
Advanced 3D allows rendering of:
Imported 3D models in GLTF and GLB format.
Environment lights for realistic Image-Based Lighting and shadow using HDRI files.
Other 3D layers, such as extruded text and shape layers, cameras, and lights.
Physically-based rendering of 3D models and other 3D layers in a unified space.
Materials for 3D layers such as text, shapes, and solids.
2D/3D interoperability
Seamlessly use 2D and 3D elements in the same composition to create more visually exciting and complex animations.
You can combine 3D assets such as 3D models or extruded text and shapes with 2D ones in your compositions. This increased flexibility in After Effects allows you to mix 2D and 3D elements to create more visually stunning and engaging animations within a single space.
The Composition panel has both 2D and 3D elements and shows After Effects ability to seamlessly combine both 2D and 3D elements within a single composition.
Learn how to import 3D models and use them in your composition.
Animated lights and cameras
Get creative flexibility by extracting lights and cameras from a 3D model to improve the lighting in your scene and create dynamic camera effects.
You can extract lights and cameras from GLB and GLTF models in a composition. When you import a 3D scene with light and camera data, After Effects automatically creates new light and camera layers. If the lights or cameras are animated, keyframes will be created too.
Learn how to extract lights and cameras from an imported 3D model and animate them.
3D snapping
Align and position 3D layers and objects with pixel-perfect accuracy.
3D model-driven effects
Combine 2D and 3D workflows in one composition. Effects that reference another layer, such as Displacement Map, Vector Blur, or Calculations, can use a 3D model layer as a source to create highly stylized renders.

Happy holidays Florian. Nice to see you moving forward with After Effects. Me? I finally hooked up my old PC for scanning in movie film and photos. It has Windows XP as the OS and the version of Adobe AE is version 5. Really a blast from the past. Its from before CS or CC. I want to see how much I can do with it.

[@flo.motion]

Haha... What about updating everything?? When was the first time you watched one of my videos??

[@JoeDavidBros]

Wie immer super! Bin gespannt wie weit Ae sich noch weiter entwickelt im Bereich 3D! 👌

[@3DEditor]

Cool. I'll have to try importing some of my past 3D animation projects to render. I use Carrara Pro 8.5 it does well, except it won't render more than 2 seconds of frame work at a time. By the way, you're kind of like the Bob Ross of CGI

I see in the comments we can't change the solid to a shadow catcher, like you have, yet. Any idea when this will be available or any idea for a workaround anyone?

[@flo.motion]

Hey! At the moment you can set it to "only cast shadows" so you can pretty easy add a solid and cast the shadow on it, and then precomp this and VOILA, you have a shadow catcher

[@justinforbes8269]

@@flo.motion Ahahah I personally love E3D but don't see any updated new version

[@nailsNhammers]

Correct me, if I am wrong. The new GLB rendering is being done with Advanced3D renderer, which is not compatible with 3D Channel effects, thus the application of this feature is quite narrow, requires a lot of dancing.

[@flo.motion]

You are right!! There are a few new features coming with each new Version of AE now!!

[@rahuldeshpande9997]

Great video man! So do u think element3d is now obsolete?

[@flo.motion]

Hmmm... That is the question

[@gulfemsecilakdogan1896]

Hello thank you for the video. I have this dental implant .glb file. When I turn the cast shadow on I only see the shadow inside the implant but not under the implant. How can I fix it?

[@flo.motion]

Have you set up a solid as a shadow catcher beneath the teeth??

[@bboylalu]

Hi. How did you turn the 3D solid into a shadow catcher? Thank you!

[@flo.motion]

Will soon be available in AE 😘

[@bboylalu]

@@flo.motion That's great, but how did you do it 2 months ago? Because I spent 4-5 hours being convinced it had to be possible because you did it and I'd still like to know what I did wrong. Thank you!

[@leemidwinter1379]

​@@bboylalu yeah, I agree. Good tutorial, but could have made it clear that we won't be able to make a solid into a shadow catcher. Let's hope we will be able to soon ie Monday 😂

[@KurtCollins]

do you know if we will be able to animate 3d objects in after effects? Not just position, rotation, scale. But like armature type things?

[@flo.motion]

Isn't that always just scale position and rotation on a smaller scale??

[@zach_blackburn]

I can't change the source for the environment light. How do i do that? My drop down menu only says "default."

You need to have an ext or hdri file in your comp... then you can choose one of them!! You find 1000s of them for free on the internet!!

Hi, Why I can't opening GLB objects in After Effects and beta? I'm using last versions and I was opening in Beta since 2 months ago. Please help me this about :(

Not bad for 2D-2.5D soft ;)

[@stefanvenbroek2028]

Blending modes are not supported in Advanced Render engine, so working with it is not an option at the moment....

[@flo.motion]

Hmmm ok... But which blending option would you use for a 3D object anyways? You wanna blend stuff above it, right? And this is still totally doable!

[@stefanvenbroek2028]

Thanks for your reply. It doesn't need to be above 3D objects. Most of the time I build scenes in 3D space in AE with lot's of layers(pictures) that use for example the multiply blending mode. When I use advanced Render engine it doesn't show the blending mode effects of these layers in the scene. Because they are turned off.@@flo.motion

[@Bhoottone]

why glb format get dark when importing in after effects?

[@flo.motion]

Where fid you get the file from? Did you test it in any other Software? Have you tried to empty the 3d Cache??

[@lucaj-v23]

Do we need to update after effects for this? I'm guessing so

[@flo.motion]

Jip

[@Praudas]

Why i dont see animation tab model is static.

[@flo.motion]

Are you using the beta version??

[@antoniopepe]

Great but i dont understand why glb ? Who use it in production? The standard are alembic and usd. Fbx in some context. Another fail from adobe.

[@flo.motion]

You can convert each scene easily to glb... No big deal... Think it is because textures are included

[@thestrugglers5054]

Do render take more time or similar as element 3d renders

[@flo.motion]

Depending on the settings! Pretty fast though

@@flo.motion I wish you could give us a lesson on how to do that

[@rahuldeshpande9997]

Also man do u think After Effects is getting obsolete or a not high demand skill? I say so cos I see so much demand in 3D now - making blender, C4D etc more profitable skills. Like u barely even see 2D motion graphic videos anymore..

[@Mr_Beagle]

Not sure why you'd think that... there's loads of 2d animated work going on. There's often cross over with 3D elements here and there, but there's still huge demand for 2D animated mograph work. I run an animation studio and 95% of the work I do is within after effects and is either 2d or 2.5D. Just depends what the client wants, and crucially how quickly they want it - 2D and 2.5D can be a very quick production process 👍

[@flo.motion]

hey! There are a million things that AE can do that no other software can do... not speaking about 3D. It is nice that AE is catching up here, so a lot of stuff that would have needed a 3D software can now also be done in AE, but I am speaking about all the MotionGraphic stuff... don't be afraid! AE will live on!!

Is it still that beta thing or have they made it a proper part of Ae now so it can directly import .obj or 3ds max objects ?

[@dixieechann]

@@flo.motion unfortunately I did encounter issues :/ I just couldn’t ram preview in one particular composition which had about 20 3D assets. The rendered frames (green bar) keeps disappearing…so I couldn’t time the motion with audio

[@KrunoslavStifter]

Curious to see where they go with this. After Effects has a very old code and its not node based, but layer based system so inherently its limited in many ways. Third party plug ins and now Adobe adding new features greatly expands on what it can do, but there are inherent bottle necks of suck old code of an application originally designed for something else. Elements 3D from Video-copilot has shown that even with its inherent limitations After Effects could be used for 3D work, so I'm curious to see if Adobe will improve on the 3D party solutions. Beyond VideoCopilot there were other companies that added true 3D functionality to After Effects, but its always some third party solution, adding extra layer or complexity to the workflow. I hope Adobe manages to streamline the process.

[@flo.motion]

Wishlist: Depth of field (not even a wish... it is a must) Motion Blur

[@KrunoslavStifter]

@@flo.motion oh, I haven't realized those are missing. Than yes for sure. Or at least I hope they offer some kind of Z-depth and motion vector information so we can use it in 2D to add it on top. Usually this makes rendering a much faster process, even in full blow 3D applications, when people can, they output multiple passe EXR's and composite them in Fusion or Nuke or even After Effects and add depth of filed later. Motion blur should be easier to render, but if not at least that we can export a motion vectors pass and again add motion blur in 2D later. I know there are some pretty good plug ins like RealSmartMotionBlur, but they don't always work as good on motion graphics as they do for live action footage and native motion blur should be needed. Speaking of 3D in AfterEffects, do they also support ray tracing or is that some kind of faux solution like some render engines try? Speaking of rendering, is there support for USD scenes or is Adobe pushing for people to use their other Substance programs and some kind of propitiatory scene import? Either way, its nice to see 3D natively added to After Effects, even with limitations.

[@HarryChopper]

Is it still in beta?

[@flo.motion]

Nope 😊

After effects finally caught up to Nuke and Fusion. Only for 3D lol. Only took them 20 years.
