And when I'm working with CINEMA 4D and After Effects, I find it quite useful to after I've saved my ground plane and origin point, as I did with the target to also save some additional points as nulls. So that when I go to CINEMA 4D, I can import those nulls and use them for positioning elements in the scene. We're in chapter09_03, and if you want to follow along, you can open up that project. And in here, I've created this track. And from that track, I've created a 3D camera, a Shadow Catcher layer and a light. But I also have some text elements that I want to composite within the scene in CINEMA 4D. So what I am going to do is just make my track points a little bit bigger and explain what I want to do.
