  Importing Bryce 3D objects into After effects

  Posted by Melissa Kern on February 18, 2006 at 11:24 am

  I want to import the 3D objects that I am making in Bryce 5 into After Effects 6.5…so, far it hasn’t worked.I am new to Bryce and don’t completely understand the procedure…do you have any experience with the program? I know that After Effects will support Maya, 3D studio, and a bunch of others formats…I need to know if there is anyway to get Bryce objects into After Effects-because if there isn’t I will try out a different program before I get too deep into Bryce.

  thanks-appreciate any help on this. really

  I’m not sure what you mean by “After Effects will support Maya, 3D studio, and a bunch of others…”, since actually it doesn’t. You can get 3D objects (as such) into AE with Zaxwerks’ 3D Invigorator Pro, which supports several formats – probably one of them is exportable from Bryce.

  The more typical workflow is to render the animation in the 3D app and use AE for compositing. The next step up is to get camera data, null positions etc. from the 3D app into AE, but that doesn’t seem to be what you’re asking about. Bringing in actual 3D objects requires Zaxwerks, and frankly I don’t think it is done very often.
