solidworks to after effects

[Hannah Gibson]

Thanks for your help David, I had tried to research this but clearly not well enough.

They were already existing in Solidworks made by someone else so that’s why I hadn’t just done them up in photoshop to begin with, and I am worried to recreate them as I had real physical objects made from the Solidworks file and need the the computer version to match directly to the physical real world version. I didn’t want any depth or slight increments to change, so I thought I would just see if there was an easy way to get it over to After Effects first.

Thanks again, Solidworks does and Universal 3d export so this is the go I would say.

no 3d animation is intended, all i needed was the 3d object in after effects to map my 2D images and move the 2D images around in 3D space according to the 3d object.

i am not trying to use after effects as a 3d program, i just needed my 3d object as a guide for mapping video to it.

universal 3d file export out of solidworks has worked out too.
