How do I get C4D 9.5 into AE CS3?

[Sithxace]

Im sure this is explained somewhere but I have been looking all over the place on the web and they are all for previous versions of ae which are confusing the hell out of me....


how do I get, lets say 3d text i made from c4d into ae?


Thanks.

Render it to a QT mov or an image sequence.

I was under the impression you can take the actual 3d object and export it to ae as a 3d object still, not a movie. Am I wrong?

You can't import objects(meshes) themselves. And why would you? You can render a multipass using object buffers which isoclate the data so as to appear to AE as being in 3D space. From there you can edit almost everything except the mesh itself. Fog can be placed around the object, depth mapping, ect.


//Here's a pretty old example but it worked for me using 6.0

When i import the file or scene from c4d, it comes up in ae, but it shows a weird colorbar graphic for all of the files in ae... why?
