  • Plain Effector Keyframes into After Effects

    Posted by Juan Obregon on September 19, 2014 at 10:48 pm

    Hello and thank you for your time

    For simplicity I will use a Plane as an example

    In C4D i have a Plane inside a Fracture Object, to the fracture Object I added a Plain Effector, using the Plain Effector I animated the Scale and the Rotation.
    I added a Compositing Tag to the Plane, set the Object Buffer to 1
    I added an External Compositing Tag, ticked the Create a Solid and made it the same size as the Plane
    I then import this into AE, add this to a comp, set the renderer to Standard Final the Plane is shown and animates as inn C4D.
    Now the issue Im having,
    If I click on Extract Button on the Effect Panel for the c4D layer the solid and the cameras show up but the solid has no keyframes, it won’t animate, I assume that it is because the animation is on the Plain effector and not the Plane.
    Now the question,
    How do I animate the Plane inside the Fracture Object using the Plain Effector and get the keyframes in After Effects?

    Again thank you for your time

    When you use a Mograph object you need to put the External Compositing tag on the Mograph Object not on the object inside, in this case on the Fracture Object.

    Good Luck
