Join Alan Demafiles for an in-depth discussion in this video VR and Cinema 4D Lite, part of After Effects CC 2019 Essential Training: VFX.
- [Instructor] After Effects comes with Cinema 4D Lite…as part of your Creative Cloud installation.…Here we'll cover the workflow to get After Effects…and Cinema 4D working together to benefit our VR workflow.…Now some of you may be new to Cinema 4D,…and if you like what you see here,…I encourage you to check out other courses…in the library to get started on your Cinema 4D journey.…In this Exercise File, I'll show you the end results…of what we can accomplish with both applications together.…So here I have some footage of an aerial shot…where we're moving away from this little mountain range,…and if I go over to my VR Comp Editor…and open up this Edit 1 here, we can look around.…
And as this footage plays,…you can see that we have this ground here.…And I've added in some 3D objects here…courtesy of Cinema 4D Lite.…Let's turn on Layer 2, and you can see that I've added in…this text here that says 360 VR.…And if I orbit around, that text…or that object will move along with my footage.…So I have a pyramid, a sphere, a cube down there.…
