Maxon has announced a new Plugin for Adobe After Effects CS5 and CS5.5 that allows Motion Graphics Artists to Export Projects directly into Cinema 4D R13.

This new capability broadens CINEMA 4D’s domination as the industry-leading 3D Motion Graphics Toolkit, known for its seamless connectivity to popular 2D Motion Graphics and Compositing Tools. This new Plugin is the perfect companion to the CINEMA 4D composition import already widely used by broadcast designers worldwide. With the combination of these two plugins, motion graphics artists working on Windows and Mac OS X will enjoy easy data exchange to and from both applications.

The CINEMA 4D export appears directly in the After Effects export menu and generates a .c4d file containing 3D Layers, Cameras, Lights, Solids, Nulls and Footage. Even nested compositions are supported. All major layer attributes including Animations (Rotation, Position, Parameter, Anchor Points, POI, etc.), Expressions, Layer Parenting, Layer Locking and Layer Visibility are retained. Render and document settings in CINEMA 4D are adapted accordingly to the After Effects’ Project Settings.

Availability and Pricing: The new CINEMA 4D R13 exchange Plugin compatible with Adobe After Effects CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 is immediately available as a free download.
