Hey there, motion graphics enthusiasts! Today, I'm going to show you how to import an OBJ file into After Effects and harness the power of Plexus to create mesmerizing 3D visuals. Let's dive in!
Step 1: Prep Your OBJ File
Before we get started, make sure you have an OBJ file ready to go. This could be a 3D model you've created or downloaded from a 3D model repository.
Step 2: Install Plexus
If you haven't already, make sure to install the Plexus plugin for After Effects. You can easily find and install it through your preferred method, such as Adobe Creative Cloud.
Step 3: Import OBJ into After Effects
Once your OBJ file and Plexus plugin are ready, it's time to import your OBJ file into After Effects. Simply go to File > Import > File, select your OBJ file, and click Open. Your 3D model should now appear in your After Effects project.
Step 4: Create a Plexus Object
Now, let's create a Plexus object to bring our 3D model to life. Go to the Plexus menu in After Effects, select 'Create Plexus,' and a Plexus object will be generated around your 3D model.
Step 5: Customize Plexus Settings
With your Plexus object in place, you can start customizing its settings to achieve the desired visual effects. Play around with parameters such as Plexus Points, Lines, and Geometry to create unique and dynamic visuals.
Step 6: Animate and Render
Once you're happy with the look of your Plexus 3D object, it's time to animate and render your composition. Add keyframes to create motion, adjust camera angles, and apply any additional effects to enhance the overall presentation.
Step 7: Enjoy the Spectacle
Congratulations! You've successfully imported an OBJ file into After Effects and used Plexus to create stunning 3D motion graphics. Now sit back, hit play, and revel in the mesmerizing visuals you've just brought to life.
And there you have it! By following these steps, you can seamlessly import an OBJ file into After Effects and tap into the power of Plexus to take your motion graphics to the next level. Get creative, experiment with different settings, and let your imagination run wild. Happy animating!
