Since after-effects are huge when it comes to 2d motion graphics, the collaboration between Adobe the developers of after-effects and Maxon the developers of cinema 4d makes using both of them for this type of work more attractive. Which is A unique advantage: If you don’t own a Cinema 4D license, you automatically have access to Cinema 4D Lite, which is included with After Effects CC and contains important basic features that let you create your own 3D objects and scenes! Cineware not only lets you drag and drop native Cinema 4D files into After Effects but also gives you the ability to manipulate those 3D elements and render directly from within After Effects which is great.Īs a motion design artist, you can use Cineware to create new Cinema 4D scenes within After Effects CC and create all the 3D elements you need for your scene yourself. I created a multitude of graphics for Wurmsers, which included pitching for the re-branding of Channel 4 Racing and rebranding FIM Speedway Grand Prix. For many processes it makes more sense to use a full 3D host like Cinema 4D (C4D). Since 2013, after-effects’ artists started using Cineware, which provided seamless integration of Cinema 4D assets into After Effects. In the field of motion design, Cinema4d is, without doubt, the richest when it comes to content in the form of tutorials, courses, and they even have a cinema 4d university called Cinevercity.
