Kerry To the best of my knowledge, you cant bring objects from Maya into AE. You need to render separate passes for RGB, Alpha, ObjectBuffers for each object, then maybe Depth passes for each object. Of course you need to export camera data if you want your 3D elements to interact with any 2D elements you are creating AE.
If you go to PostForum.com and look for Ko Marayuma in the AE forum, he knows pretty much all there is to know about AE. Also there is a very high end pro group hosted at http://www.media-motion.tv/ Someone in there will be able to help. Also for what its worth. Cinema4D is the app of choice when working with AE as it interoperates very well. You can save an AE project file out of C4D that has all lights and camera data intact. It is the choice for almost all broadcast motion graphics designers these days. Probably doesnt help you now if you have already invested in Maya, but worth knowing if you dont already Good luck cheers adam --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "brogan_kerry" <brogan_ke...@...> wrote: > > Hey all, > This doesn't necessarily pertain to videoblogging per-se but I was > wondering if anyone > knows how to import objects/animations from Maya into After Effects.
