Hi
Now that the integration between Cinema4D and AfterEffects is so good,
the only thing i wish for is the possiblility to go the other way.
Lately weve had several projects that has been started in AE that
turned out to require alot of 3d stuff that would be better handeled in c4d.
In these situations weve had to basically start the project all over in c4d,
because there is no way to get camera and layer animation from AE to C4d.
It seems that the simpelest solution would be to have a script that exports
AE camera and layer anim to VRML 2 since this a open standard and
it is written in a readeble text format.
But since im no script writer myself, there might be other ways to solve this.

exporting the camera should be possible...

I don't know about the layers...

Where can one see how it is written ?

Hi
Here is an example of vrl export from c4d with a camera and a cube,
where both are moving:

Seems a bit difficult but it's possible.

It's gonna be difficult to get the points in order to create the polygons...

I don't know how to add the texture, too...

Hi
I dont think you need to make polygons in vrml from AE.
Since objects in AE is either layers,lights,cameras or nulls.
So maybe layers from AE can be substituted with nulls with position,rotation and scale in vrml.
