Me: Hi, but I am a daily user of AE, and I know that you can switch renderers, in any composition, from the default AE one to the C4D one. Me: Wait, can you get someone to answer me who is like an After Effects support person? Because I believe it is possible through the Cineware plugin that comes with After Effects now.Īdobe support: Stephen, I am from After effects support.Īs I have checked with the senior person, there is no third part render engine supported. Here is what I did find out, which was in line with what you were saying, via a chat exchange with an AE support person just now. Hi Flat-cold, I don't know enough about C4D to completely understand your workflow comments, perhaps you can elaborate (like a step by step)? Good luck OP and please post if you find something! I feel like my current workflow feels good between Arnold and AE, but I understand the appeal of rendering right from AE.
This lets you pull info from your EXRs like Depth, mattes, vectors etc. What I will say is, I work with Arnold every day and I do enjoy the way you can build AOVs in C4D and easily extract with Extractor, which is built right into AE. there are new plugins every day and things evolve super quick, but as it stands highly unlikely if not 'no'. There is clearly a communication required between C4D and Autodesk servers. C4D partnering with Adobe still feels somewhat like a new thing (within the last 6 years or so), and by partnering I mean packaging C4D lite and the C4D reading and exporting in After Effects.Īrnold has also adopted a new subscription DRM system that requires C4D R19 or higher and a login with internet access (very very annoying), so I have doubts there is anything out there that can render through AE. I work with Arnold in C4D every day, and I dont think there is a system that allows it to work that way (rendering Arnold or other 3rd party render engines from AE).
