It reduces masking time by up to 80% compared to traditional pen-tool rotoscoping. 3. Core Workflow and Timeline Enhancements
The release of marks more than a routine software update; it represents a fundamental shift in the philosophy of digital motion—moving from the "manual labor" of keyframing toward an era of intelligent orchestration. The Convergence of Intent and Execution
Use High Dynamic Range (HDRI) files to wrap environments around 3D objects, producing realistic reflections, accurate highlights, and natural shadows. : This feature uses Environment maps (
When working with imported 3D scenes (like those from Maya or Blender via USD), you can now extract the camera and light data into native After Effects layers with a single click. 4. Hardware and System Requirements
This feature allows artists to seamlessly combine 2D and 3D elements within the same composition. You can now use a 3D model layer as a source for 2D effects like Displacement Map, Vector Blur, or Calculations . This powerful capability allows for highly stylized renders by blending dimensional workflows.
