[...] The next challenge was going through the steps of integrating C4D into After Effects which I found on this tutorial from greyscalegorilla.com. [...]

Ok so looks like you don’t need lights anymore (to have an object follow the null). Just use the compositing tag?

So my object is not rotating properly and would hate to have to animate the rotating. Is this because the null light is inside an object. And the partent of the light is inside another object. The lights rotation values are at 0,0,0 but the parents are different rotations. Thanks for any feedback!

No matter how many times I open the project up in afx the solid I am replacing is NEVER in the right place. I had a soild between two headphones. When I open in afx its in front and not masked correctly and not in right place. And the Luma mask does not help me.

Thanks for your help!
My problem was slightly different.

Had already tried installing both files ‘Cinema4DAE.plugin’ & ‘C4DExporter.plugin’ on the two recommended locations:
‘HD/library/applicationsupport/adobe/plugins/CS5/fileformats’
‘Applications/AdobeAfterEffectsCS5/Plug-ins’

My problem would have been that the ‘C4DExporter.plugin’ was still the old version supplied for 11.5 and that’s why those files where still opening fine… When re-doing the procedures stated above, I replaced those plugin files with the new version (named exactly the same) but supplied together with C4D r13.

Its all working fine now.
Cheers.

For anyone having issues importing- I installed the C4DExporter and Cinema4ADE plugins to:HD/library/applicationsupport/adobe/plugins/CS5/fileformats

It worked for me!

My exports/imports in r11.5 work great… Recently got r13 and all new exports from this version won’t open in AE now!

Did some research and updated my plugin to the latest version from MAXON.

also installed it in several places and combinations like sugester here:

Im on snow leopard, Adobe CS5.

Thanks.
