I FOUND A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM.
My specific need was to bring in a sequence of vector files animated out of After effects.
The desired outcome was to do an animation in AE and turn them into 3D assets in C4D.
In fact, there is an out-of-the-box solution.
Just turn your shape animation layer into a 3D layer and simply export it as a Cinema4D file. DONE.

THANK YOU ALL.
Well, it is a shame nobody thought of such a feature so far.
I’m onto trying automating this crazy process I have in mind.

Use BodyMovin in AE, I can export each frame as an SVG file, then import and sequence them under a Generator in C4D such as extrude.
If we are talking about a handful of frames, doing it manually isn’t a big deal…

Import JSON animations

Hello everyone.
I cant even think of how to phrase the question properly, I couldn’t find anything online. But in essence, it is simple.
C4D is awesome to export things to all sorts of programs, but I would like to know if there is any possibility to import a vector-based animation, such as a JSON file into C4D.

My idea is that I can harness the…

Many thanks Filip.
It helps a lot.

I wasn’t aware of the option “RIGHT CLICK > Keyframe velocity”.
In my case, I guess I have to tell people to input 80% in and 80% out. That should suffice.
But sure writing down a piece of code would make it more effective and quick I guess.

Motion curve documentation in AE

Hi Everyone, I hope you are all safe and sound.
Does anyone know how to document motion curve values in AE for use in future projects?
To give you a clearer understanding of what I mean.
I have an international client and the motion graphics principles I designed will be written down in a document which anyone that reads it should get a clear…
