  Render just 3D data but no animation?

  Posted by Brian Murphy on April 19, 2011 at 6:04 pm

  If I never render out my animation and just want to save camera, light and marker data from Cinema 4D, I end up with an AEC file but when I import it into After Effects (with C4d plugin installed), I get nothing. Is it required to link a rendered animation to the data for C4d integration to AE to work? Do I have to render my animation? I ONLY want the camera animation data, light position and markers.

  Thanks.

  You don’t need to render anything, just go in Render Settings/Save/Compositing Project File, check Save and Include 3D Data, then click on Save Project File…
  This way you get 3D data for camera and lights, if you want data for other objects you have to add an External Compositing Tag to these objects, and you’ll find them in AE as Nulls
