    Maya and after effects

    Posted by Toddj987 on September 13, 2005 at 2:43 am

    I see that After Effects will read maya files. .ma files. Does this mean that you can open a 3D object in After Effects? Because what i would like to do is import a 3D object then be able to move the AE camera around it. Is this possable?

    Thanks

    NO.Actually,AE can only import camera Data and null objects from Maya.

    You can always import an .obj into Invigorator, but unless it’s something simple you’re better off animating/rendering in Maya then exporting the camera data to comp it in AE.
