Product description After Effects and Cinema 4D Lite from Focal Press covers the integration of CINEMA 4D within Adobe After Effects using the CINEWARE plug-in and free CINEMA 4D Lite. The CINEMA 4D plug-in offers a wide assortment of new 3D tools and options that were previously difficult or nearly impossible to achieve in After Effects alone. In this book author Chris Jackson demonstrates how the new 3D workflow bridges the two application together to take your designs and motion graphics to the next level. Hands-on exercises teach you essential production skills including modeling in CINEMA 4D Lite, importing 3D models and motion tracking them within After Effects, and compositing with the CINEWARE plug-in. Additionally, it covers using MoGraph features in CINEMA 4D and techniques for rendering and optimizing your graphics. A companion website features project files and videos showcasing the techniques covered in the book. - Author Bio
