How to Import 3D Object Models into After Effects

Oct 19, 2024

Are you looking to take your After Effects projects to the next level with 3D object models? Importing 3D models into After Effects can add a new dimension to your animations and motion graphics. Here’s how to do it in a few simple steps.

Step 1: Choose Your 3D Object Model

First, you’ll need to select the 3D object model you want to import into After Effects. You can create your own 3D models using software like Blender or Cinema 4D, or you can find pre-made models online from sites like TurboSquid or Adobe Stock.

Step 2: Export the Model as OBJ File

Once you have your 3D model, you’ll need to export it as an OBJ file. This file format is widely supported and can be easily imported into After Effects. Make sure to include the texture maps or materials that you want to use for the model.

Step 3: Import OBJ File into After Effects

In After Effects, go to File > Import > File and select the OBJ file you exported. A dialogue box will appear with options for the import. Ensure that the ‘Cinema 4D’ option is selected, and then click ‘OK’ to import the 3D model into your project.

Step 4: Adjust and Animate Your 3D Model

Once the 3D model is imported into After Effects, you can adjust its position, scale, and rotation using the Transform properties. You can also apply textures, materials, and lighting effects to enhance the look of the model. To animate the 3D model, you can use keyframes to create movement and interactions with other elements in your composition.

Step 5: Render and Preview Your 3D Animation

After you have finished working on your 3D model in After Effects, you can render the composition to see the final result. Adjust the render settings to achieve the level of quality and file format you desire. You can then preview the animation to make sure everything looks the way you want.

Now that you’ve learned how to import 3D object models into After Effects, you can start experimenting with integrating 3D elements into your motion graphics and animations. Whether you’re creating visual effects, title sequences, or product showcases, adding 3D models can elevate the visual appeal of your projects. Give it a try and see how 3D objects can enhance your After Effects creations!
