By using the AE3D script you are able to create a match move workflow between After Effects and Maya. The script will export camera’s and turn any other layer in After Effects into a Null (or locator) when you bring it into Maya. The script will allow you to write out a text file that can be read by other 3D applications including Maya, 3Ds Max, or LightWave. John uses an older script for After Effects, from Ryan Gilmore, AE3D.

John has graciously posted the three part series for everyone who would like a starter on how to use motion data from the 3D Camera Tracker in After Effects in Maya.

John Reid Perkins-Buzo created such a look, that was initially intended for his students. Dowiesz si jak After wspópracuje z takimi programami jak. Nauczysz si oywiania wektorowych postaci korzystajc z riggowania. Poznasz techniki pracy z trackowaniem obiektów, tworzc rónego rodzaju animacje. However being a JDI feature, there isn’t really deeper access into the resulting tracking points. Gównym motywem kursu jest tworzenie animacji przy wspópracy z zewntrznymi pluginami: Mocha, Duik, Animation Composer.

All you have to do is run the effects and site back while the system analyses the scene and lays out the tracking points. The After Effects 3D Camera Tracker is an amazing JDI tool (just do it). Using motion data from the 3D camera Tracker in After Effects in Maya Ever wanted to be able to use motion tracked data from the After Effects 3D Camera Tracker in another application? An example would be adding a 3D model from a non-Cinema 4D or C4D lite application to a shot in Ae.
