Cinema 4D issue…
Hello!
I’m going insane here trying to work with 3D in After Effects.
It’s so simple, I just have an imported .ai file that I followed the procedure to split into layers, convert layers to shapes, and it’s all clean and tidy now.
I have my separate layers with one shape on each.
Then if I turn on 3D on one and start trying to mess with rotation and such, it works as long as I’m in Classic 3D mode, and I have a camera at the top of my layers.
Cool.Now I want to extrude the shapes.
As soon as I change the renderer to Cinema 4D, hell breaks loose.
When I try rotating shapes, I see the bounding box rotate but the shape stays put.
Help.
Screenshots provided.
First shot, no 3D changes yet.
Second shot, Classic 3D on, some X and Y rotation applied. Seems fine.
Third shot, 4D enabled. As soon as I change any rotation parameters, I can see the box moving as if it was rotating, but the object, as you can see, stays put…

Update: I’m now getting “Render failed” errors.
Below it, I see “5070”.
Help.

Someone on reddit has the exact same problem, I thought I’d link the video here. This is exactly what’s happening with me.

Ok Jesus.
After an entire day…
Found out how to make it work.– Downloaded Cineware from the Maxon website
– Installed it
– Opened After Effects, still not working
– Checked the plugin options, saw version R22
– Just out of curiosity, clicked “Browse”
– Saw that there’s R22 and R23 installed
– Pointed to R23 for both paths
– Restarted AE
– Purged all cache, as instructed by the plugin
– It now WORKS.Phew.

Sorry you didn’t get any help here – I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ve been snowed under. Having said that, thanks for coming back with the solution. I bet there’s someone searching right now trying to figure this out.
