Hey there! So you've been working on some cool 3D models and now you want to bring them into After Effects using Plexus to create some awesome visualizations, right? Well, you're in the right place! Here's a quick guide on how to import an OBJ into After Effects Plexus.

Step 1: Prepare your OBJ file

First things first, make sure your OBJ file is ready to be imported into After Effects. This means checking for any errors, ensuring proper textures and materials are applied, and organizing your model for easier manipulation within Plexus.

Step 2: Convert OBJ to JSON

Before importing the OBJ into After Effects, you'll need to convert it to a JSON file. There are various online converters available for this purpose. Simply upload your OBJ file and convert it to JSON format.

Step 3: Import JSON into After Effects

Now that you have your OBJ file in JSON format, open After Effects and create a new composition. Then, go to File > Scripts > Run Script File and select the JSON file you just created. This will import the 3D model into After Effects.

Step 4: Create a Plexus layer

With the 3D model imported, it's time to create a Plexus layer. Go to the Composition menu and select New > Solid. Then, apply the Plexus effect to the solid layer. You can customize the settings and appearance of the Plexus network to achieve the desired look for your visualizations.

Step 5: Manipulate the 3D model with Plexus

Once the Plexus layer is set up, you can start manipulating the 3D model within After Effects. Use the various controls and options in Plexus to create dynamic motion graphics and visual effects. Experiment with different settings to bring your 3D model to life in a unique way.

Step 6: Add finishing touches

After creating your desired visualizations with Plexus, you can further enhance the scene with other After Effects tools and effects. Add lighting, camera movements, color correction, and other elements to make your 3D model come to life in a stunning way.

And there you have it! By following these steps, you can easily import an OBJ file into After Effects Plexus and create impressive 3D visualizations for your projects. With a bit of creativity and experimentation, the possibilities are endless. Have fun exploring the world of 3D modeling and motion graphics in After Effects!
