Workflow: lighting, After Effects and Cinema 4 d

Hello

I wonder what is the best "workflow" to a project with 3D and 2D elements that I am planing to do this.

Lighting will be a crucial element of narration (there is a scene with many tasks projector etc.).

I prefer to get the Department 3D 3D elements, throw in AE (CC2014) and do the lighting for everything in there. I discovered that it is quite easy to load projects C4D in AE. But I was unable to receive the light. Is there something I'm missing or is it just not possible? And if it's possible: that would make sense?

Or would it be better to make the lighting in C4D and import there AE lights? (if possible, I have not yet tested)

Or maybe think of a tool of real composition such as Fusion or Nuke?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards

Martin

AE lights do not interact with the C4D scene lights in Cineware and that's that. If you want this kind of functionality, you need 3-d element, but there are still limits. The rest is pretty much a buzz - ho matter. Cineware is much too crumbly and in current versions there are issues by extracting scene data and keep everything aligned, so you could be trading in a bad workflow for another. Similarly, export OBJ and FBX in Cinema 4 d simply suck, then get your 3D files into Nuke or Fusion will be a pain. Overall, it would be best to do everything in C4D and fix things upwards as new rendered necessary, as everything else will just be a pain in the rear and cost more time and patience.

  • After effect and 3dsmax VRay + color 32 bits and the wrong display

    I have 32 EXR with gamma 1.0 (for 2.2 future in AE)

    and 16-bit PNG with gamma 2.2 for reference

    When Color management is None PNG in PPAS are exactly as in a buffer of 3dsmax! EXR have a difference with her.

    If I check "Preserve RGB" EXR and apply with 2.2 gamma levels to compensate for linear-look exactly like the PNG.

    If I use Color Management (I have try many other profiles and sRGB) color PNG became a few distortions (from 3dsamx buffer).

    Why I can't get EXR = PNG in After Effects?

    How can I get PNG in AAE = EXR in AE = 3dsmax buffer?

    Sorry for my English)

    I think what is happening here is that 3ds Max does not all the color management. Most programs that use color (including After Effects and Photoshop) management assume that a PNG will be in the video space and an EXR in linear space. If 50% gray in PNG format is 0.5 (127 in the 8-bit 0-255) during EXR is around 0.18. Unless you set things properly, 3ds Max will not do that, but write 0.5 EXR and PNG. Since After Effects is expected to 0.18, the EXR will appear too bright.

    If you want EXR to resemble the PNG, the simple way is to keep the project space the value None to work and check preserve RGB on the EXR.

    The ideal workflow is to preview that your Max is rendered with a gamma of 2.2 applied during the creation of your scene. Which is what After Effects is by default when you import an EXR.

  • CS6 workflow (Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro)

    Hello, I'm new to CS and have been a little different apprenticeship programs in recent months about the post-production.  I am mainly using Premier Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop.  I noticed there are tons of different ways to work both within and between these programs through the CS package.  Because there are so many ways to achieve a result in the end, I was uncertain, what is the right way to modify or manipulate video footage.  For example, if I intend using consequences to color correction using the fineness of the color, or Matt paint and rotoscoping, should what order I open the files and modify them?  Should I start first and then use AE or do I change in AE and then import them into first?  I noticed that not all changes to EI are accepted at first. Same question goes with all edits to images in photoshop as well.  Any advice would be great or at least a direction to look for resources to help you with my workflow.  Thank you.

    Thank you.

  • What systems the Pros use for the first, After Effects and SpeedGrade?

    I bought the complete creative cloud in the hope of a career for me in editing audio/visual. The problem is my system doesn't seem to be able to manage the software, especially when changing back and forth between the three programs mentioned above. In addition, my first project cannot export correctly. In addition, throughout its development the offbeat bad system. And that's after following all of the recommendations of preferences available under tutorials Adobe and elsewhere on the Web.

    Here is my system:

    SYX-P67A-C43: Intel Core i7 2600 (a unit of 8 strands) to 3.4 GHz with 8 GB of RAM (which will be soon 16) with a NVidia GTX 550 card, 1Gig of RAM.

    As you can see, it's well beyond what Adobe claims to be the minimum requirements. It is obviously NOT the case.

    What systems the Pros use (like the guys in the tutorials) for the first, After Effects and SpeedGrade? Give me accurate machines with all the specs so I can a price upward.

    Right now X 99 with DDR4 gives best performance for media applications of particular content with GPU acceleration. I suggest an I7 5960 X, 32 GB of DDR4 2666, 980GTX video card and Asus X 99 board with storage depends on the media. Far, who will perform the 2600 is old of 2 generations at this stage, which is only a Quad core with HT. The same X 99 tips can also manage the Xeons V3 if you upgrade the processor in the future for a larger load in real-time.

  • STC 2 K in After Effects and SOUL - it's all good, but how to mark the file FADS like "advertising"?

    Hello

    I need to convert a video FHD STC 2 k. I can get there with After Effects and Media Encoder and export/rendering as STC 2 k. The problem is the film needs the file marked as 'advertising' to be able to run it, and by default, it comes as a "feature".

    I couldn't find a path in the options for editing, in the media or AE encoder. Is there a way to actually change and mark / label as advertising? Or is the only way to make STC 2 k in AE and SOUL?

    Thank you.
