After Effects 3d?

Post by Earendil18 » Sun Oct 30, 2005 9:33 pm

I'm trying to create a vast 3d space w/spheres flying by in After Effects. Is this even possible? Would a 3d animation program be better? There's no complex texturing going on, I just need random patterns of shapes that are lit up various colors...to be wrapped around spheres...that are flying by. ;) Plugin suggestions?

After Effects can not create true 3d shapes like spheres. It can merely position thigns in a 3d space. You can fake it with a plugin like CC Sphere, but its still just a flat layer.
A real 3d program would be much better for something like this.
