Comp Camera into CINEMA 4D
CINEMA 4D Scene Data
Note:
Click to select which pass to render on this layer. This option is only available if CINEMA 4D Multi-Pass option is enabled.
When enabled, adds the passes explicitly added in the .c4d file. This can include passes other than Image
Layers.
Use this option to create multiple pass layers with proper blending modes depending on the setting of Defined Multi-
Passes. When the Defined Multi-Passes option is enabled, Add Image Layers restricts you to just adding the passes defined in the Cinema
4D render settings rather than adding all supported types.
Check for the original layer to ensure the layer is in the desired position in the timeline stack. The layer may have moved to the bottom of
the stack, or its visibility might be turned off, and so on.
Use the following commands.
Click Merge to add the current After Effects camera as a C4D camera in the C4D file. This modifies the
C4D file. Use File > Revert to Saved in C4D to see the newly added After Effects camera. This command is especially useful to transfer
camera data created by the 3D Camera Tracker effect. AE is prefixed to the camera name.
Note: If you merge again, the previous camera is not updated. A new copy is created instead.
Click Extract to create 3D data such as cameras, lights, solids or nulls for objects that have an External
Compositing tag applied in the Cinema 4D project.
Depending on your computer's security settings, you may see some warnings about TCP communication. This is because After Effects and
the background Cinema 4D renderer communicate using TCP which some security software may interpret as dangerous malware communication.
For example , Mac OS may require you to confirm if you want to run this software "downloaded from the internet". Confirm that you want to run this
software.
If you are able to import a .c4d file, but it fails to render, check if your Mac OS gatekeeper or your firewall has blocked the background Cinema
4D renderer from functioning and communicating with After Effects. For Mac users, set Allow Applications Downloaded From (under the General
tab of Security and Privacy system preferences) to Anywhere.
The TCP port used is defined in the Options in the CINEWARE effect, and this value is stored in the After Effects preferences file.
