  • ON A CLOSE DEADLINE! Some rendering problems when c4d is imported to AE

    Posted by Ayush Saxena on June 30, 2015 at 9:38 pm

    I should preface this by saying that I’m a beginner with c4d but am more familiar with after effects.
    So I’m trying to create an effect of glass breaking in cinema 4d using nitroblast and I want the glass to be completely invisible until an object crashes into it. This works seamlessly in c4d and in its picture viewer. However, once I import the c4d file into AE, the cracks in the glass are visible in the beginning.

    So far I’ve tried:
    – clearing the cache and baking in the project settings
    – saving the project with assets
    – creating a new composition in after effects solely for the c4d file using its settings

    I’m sure this is probably a simple fix, but I just can’t seem to find a solution

    here’s a link to the c4d file:

    Maybe its stupid idea, but try with cheating. Use object buffer for your plane, and use some mask in AE.

    Nitroblast fixes the transparency issue via the plugin, so I guess you would need to have the plugin installed in AE somehow to make it work there. Not sure if that’s possible.
