Is this pure AE or with help of another animation prog?

Blender has a stiff learning curve but it’s free and open source.

It’s incredibly powerful and there are a reported 200,000 downloads of the software for each new build. There’s also a very large support community. I like Blender a lot, but I also like C4D. Anything you learn in Blender will translate into any other 3D app as far as 3D principals and procedures are concerned, but you’ll have to re-learn the UI and all the shortcuts because they are never the same. I find myself holding down the option key and right clicking all the time to try and move the camera in AE because this is how you change views in Blender. Blender will build models, but I haven’t found or heard of anyone making it easy to import 3D scenes or camera moves into AE like you can with a couple of clicks with C4D
