![]() If you want to click the switch, it will become a 3D layer. To do this, you switch a layer, this particular text layer here. Turn on this 3D switch that’s below the little box. That’s something that’s been with After Effects for a few versions now. ![]() You do that with something called Ray Trace 3D renderer. You take any text and you can extrude it and make it 3D like this. But if you’re working with After Effects, you can extrude text and shape. If you’re new to After Effects, this may be cool. It does not replace the current 3D renderer which is called Ray Trace. From my point of view, though, it’s a work in progress. Now, with this release of After Effects, they now have this cinema renderer, this Cinema 4D renderer running as a 3D renderer inside After Effects.

Now, there’s a new workflow in After Effects where you have the Cinema 4D engine running inside After Effects called cinema renderer, which allows you to take a Cinema 4D project and animate it without having to render the video files. You can import all those video layers as 3D files in After Effects and work on them in After Effects. There’re all these different layers to comprise this 3D project. Some layers will be for reflection, some layers will be refraction, some will be for glow and things like that. It’s a pretty good workflow back in the day where if you’re working in Cinema 4D, when you make a 3D product that has multiple layers, it’s really very complex. ![]() For years, folks who have used Cinema 4D have been working with After Effects at the same time. ![]() Cinema 4D is from a company called Maxon and it’s a great 3D product. There’s a new 3D composition renderer, Cinema 4D. We’re looking at the New Features Summary here. Note: remember to watch the video tutorial, it will help you better understand. In today’s post, Jeff will talk about some new features in Adobe After Effects 2017.
