Title needs adjusting. Zaxwerks Tutorial, not after effect tutorial.
so how about doing this without the 400 dollar plugin?
its cool
Bro just crack it its easy asl
@@user-gz9wh5kx8s where can i find a cracked version
Yeah it's sooo easy. It's as easy as spitting out 375 bucks for something that should be built into after effects
lol
so its as easy as paying $375?
nope it aint
yeh right
😂😂😂😂😂
Crack it easy
Crack it its easy as;
where did i get the pro animator plug in
i an't use the site and sownload the plugin. the page cannot be found
when you applied the materials were those ones you had originally set in the 3d program you used that carried over or are those after effects materials? I would like to be able to import an object that I have made uv textures for, is that possible?
Those are materials that I have set up directly in ProAnimator. You can import an object with UV coordinates, then import the texture map/reflection map/bump map that you created in another program.
hey bro. so i cant find my 3d object to import to the after effect. i opened the right folder. but there just isnt any file for me at there for me to select. im using 3ds max as my 3d software btw
Hey Joe. ProAnimator doesn't support .max files(3DS Max native files), but it does support .obj files. Export your objects as an .obj file and you should be able to find it. If you're still having trouble, place your .obj file on your desktop so that they're not being hidden in a folder.
I've imported my 3d model but i can't see it
The links in the video description are broken
do i need version cs6 for this ? cause i have a late version
+karla michelle
Hi Karla!
Unfortunately you'll need at least version CS6 to run ProAnimator v8. However we have older versions of the program that work with older versions of After Effects.
- Alex
I don't have this proanimator thing
you just make my day happy😄
im been finding this in 1 1/2 years
This is exactly what I sought!
Really well.
CS6 is silly to have to remove the 3d model psd
Wich plug-in exactly ? ???
Hello. When I import a 3D file, it's just small and blurred. How do I fix that?
Hey Kaaleraq,
Do these steps and see which one works:
1. When importing the 3D file, you'll see a percentage number at the bottom of the import window. It's default is 100% so change it to something much higher if your object is very small.
2. Fit the camera to your object. In the setup window, you'll find the 3D Preview panel. In there you'll see a menu that says "View". Select that menu and select "Front". This will change your camera to zoom in to the front of your scene.
3. Make sure that in After Effects your comp resolution is set to 100%.
can anyone help me.. everytime I import my 3d to after effects the color and the quality is lost its super pixelated!
It sounds like the object your importing is too small. This is why it looks "pixelated" because the polygons aren't enough polygons to make it look smooth. Try to increase the object size in your other 3D program during export or increase the scale of your object in ProAnimator.
hey man that was very useful however how do you make a 3d obj file that's where I am puzzled I don't seem to understand what an OBJ file is
+alex O you can export an obj from 3d applications like Cinema4d, or maya, or blender, or 3ds max or zbrush.
+alex O Shawn Starr is correct. An .OBJ file is a 3D file format that is widely accepted across the 3D applications community. You can create many objects directly inside of 3D ProAnimator, but if you want something more complicated like a car you can take an object created another 3D program like Cinema 4D or Maya and import it into 3D ProAnimator. You can also purchase 3D models in the .OBJ format on 3rd Party websites and use those inside of 3D ProAnimator.
I would recommend using blender, it's a free software that is very easy to use
Please tell me sir,
My after effect have no options of pro animated
+raju 3486 You need to install the ProAnimator plug-in to see the option. You can download the installer here: zaxwerks.com/downloadsoftware
Are u using MacBook Air?
I'm about to download the trial version but, can I import an obj 3ds max model in AE with its texture?? I really need to get the texture of the 3d object I made in 3ds max and animate it in a video with AE. Thank you in advance.
+Patricia Bresku Obj and 3DS models can definitely be imported, but the textures have to be reapplied once inside 3D ProAnimator. Does this answer your question?
for some reason there is no an option zaxwerks on after effects 2017
Hi ewilson, Zaxwerks is a plugin for After Effects. You get it from zaxwerks.com. You have to buy and install it separately.
Where can i download obj files
Hi Baconfat,
Sorry for the late reply. You can download obj files for free on sites like TF3DM: tf3dm.com/
Or you can get some really premium models on sites like Turbo Squid: www.turbosquid.com/
Cheers,

are you using CS6? CS6 will not import my PS cs6 3d file. Any Idea why?
I am most likely using CS6 for this tutorial, but ProAnimator works in CC 2015 - CS6.
After effects doesn't import photoshop 3D files. That's why you need to use ProAnimator to import the .obj file into After Effects.
awesome the software I- liked
Is this how to do it on windows too? Pz answer
Absolutely. The only differences between Mac and Windows would be the key commands(Windows uses the control key and Mac uses the command key). However in this tutorial I don't use any keyboard shortcuts.
Hey, so I make an obj in maya and export it as an obj. When I import it as an obj using zaxwerks pro animator it looks deformed. any way to fix this?
+Jake Noworyta I import my obj into maya and it looks fine. But when I import it into AE with the Zaxwerks plugin, it looks deformed and is not how I made the obj in maya
+Jake Noworyta Hey Jake, this is probably due to how you exported it from Maya. Try exporting it as a .3DS model and import it into ProAnimator. Let me know if this works.
- Alex
+Zaxwerks 3D Software This worked. Maybe I just made the geometry poorly but now it is displaying rough edges all over the place.
+Jake Noworyta That's a good guess. Please send the .3DS file to support (at) zaxwerks.com so I can take a look.
Very thanks bro :D I finding this. :)
what version of ae is this?????
+gothmaniow I'm using Adobe After Effects CC(12.2) in this tutorial, but ProAnimator v8 works with CS6-CC2015.
How can we add motion in it?
Key frames my n!gga.
ohh thanks
Use hitfilm pro to import 3D model free
why you created a camera?
raju bodhasingh To show that you can use an After Effects camera with your ProAnimator 3D Objects. This way you can animate AE layers using the same camera.
Your AWESOME do you do more youtube if you don't can you please do more!!!
Thanks you, many mutch the handy when modelage 3D modelzilorz
but how do i export 3d models from 3ds max or others with texture i cant find the solution please help
You can export a model from 3DS Max by following these instructions:
1. From the Application menu, choose Export. Or, to export only the current selection, choose Export Selected.
The Select File To Export dialog opens.
2. Enter the file name, optionally with the .obj filename extension. If you don’t enter the extension, open the Save As Type drop-down list and choose gw::OBJ-Exporter (*.OBJ).
3.Click Save.
The exporter dialog opens.
4. Set parameters manually, or choose the name of the target program from the Preset drop-down list. Optionally click Map-Export and set map-export parameters.
5. Click Export.
During export, a dialog showing progress and the names of exported objects opens.
You well then use ProAnimator's Material Editor to load in your materials and apply them to your object.
ok tnx men
and please give us the link
hey dude. i dont have the zaxwerks option. how do i get it?
You can check out the product here: zaxwerks.com/proanimatorae/index.shtml

How can I get the obj to move (by part)
3D EXPERIENCE You can animate your obj by using poses and transitions inside the ProAnimator setup window. Watch this tutorial to learn more about animating objects: zaxwerks.com/training/tutorial90
Ok. Thanks!
the most complicated tutorial ever !!!
USING A PLUG IN please inform in title next time bro
How about you just read the info box....
@MorgganMobiile How about learn torrents/p2p ...
Question...when I import my 3ds model, after making the solid and doing everything you did, I don't see anything. It's just black. What did I do wrong?
+R Jani It's possible that you're camera is not looking at your object or your object is too small or too large. Make sure your object is selected in the "Object List" panel and then in the 3D Preview panel go to View > Front. This will align your camera to the front of your scene. If you still don't see anything then select View > Fit Selected Object.
in my after effects it hasn't the [Zaxwerks] menu it stops to Utility
[cracked]

Zaxwerks 3D Software thank you
BRO WHERE can i find more 3D files to use in my project
+Funny Things That Could Happen You find 3D objects on sites like Turbo Squid or by simply googling "obj 3D object".
I tried adding in my .obj file but the composition stayed as a red rectangle. Any way I can fix this?
Hi Matthew,
When you say you "tried adding in my .obj file" do you mean you ran ProAnimator, clicked "Import 3D Object" and selected your .obj file? If you didn't follow these steps then that's why it's not working.
Cheers,
Alex Dow

Yes, I followed all of the instructions, but my solid stayed as a red rectangle. I am using the demo version of your software so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it...
No that shouldn't matter at all. Please give us a call and I'd be happy to help.
I figured out that my model is in After Effects, but its only a few pixels wide. Any way to fix this?
And it is on a background that has your logo on it.
I need to full version... :/ Can you help me ?
+tolga dogan You can download the program here: zaxwerks.com/downloadsoftware
But is this full ? Also i have this problem :( "Zaxwerks İnstall Has Stopped"
LOOK TO THİS PLEASE:
i.hizliresim.com/nmN7dV.png
+tolga dogan This is the full version, but will put watermarks on the final render. This will let you use the program for free to learn it before you have to purchase it.
Regrading the installation error, this is probably due to a permissions problems. Try following these installation steps for installing a Zaxwerks Plug-in on a windows machines:
1. Download your Zaxwerks product
2. Put the zipped file on your desktop
3. Right click on the file and select extract all
4. Go into the newly extracted folder and select the Zaxwerks product Installer(it should look like a box with a purple piece coming out of it)
5. Right click on the installer and select run as administrator
6. Make sure it is being installed into C:/ Program Files/Adobe/Adobe After Effects (Version Number)/Support Files/Plug-ins
7. Run After Effects, Create a new comp, create a solid layer, and apply your Zaxwerks product to that layer
Ok thanks, i will try.
is this free?
helllo nice video what if i already have texture applied bump deffuse ... pls help
Hi ToraKo,
If you already have a material applied to the object you can do one of 2 things:
1. Replace the entire material by dragging a new material onto the object in the 3D Preview window
2. Edit the existing material in the Material Editor.
To edit the existing material select the object whose material you want to change, double click on the material that you want to change in the Material Docks and the material will be loaded into the Material Editor. Now you can change the diffuse map by double clicking on the thumbnail picture in the Color channel and select your new image.
can you tell me what plugin i shoud download cuz that one were from ps5 and didnt have texture in this video as you say its easy :)
ToraKo To follow along with this video you should download 3D ProAnimator 8. You can download a free trial version here: zaxwerks.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi
nice thank u my friend i appreciateit it :)

ToraKo Can't wait to see what you put together.
The company is 18 years old (Founded in 1996) and we are based in California, United States.
Does the zaxworks 3D animator cost?
+BUDDY BROS Yes it's paid software, but you can try out the demo for free to make sure you like it before you buy it: zaxwerks.com/proanimatorae
And how to animate the car or the character?
Hi Gerhard,
You would use ProAnimator's built in animation system to animate the car or any 3D model you import. You can learn how to animate objects in 3D ProAnimator with this tutorial from the owner himself: zaxwerks.com/training/tutorial90
Thank god theres a freetrial
Absolutely! You can try any of your products for free. It's just like test driving a car, you have to know it's the right one for you.

So that would actually be extra steps.
And a whole lot of extra money : (
It definitely seems like a lot at first, but it pays for itself so quickly. I'm making a ton of money with proanimator.
Thanks God for Andrew Kramer and his software, "videocopilot - Element 3D"
blender
so basically hes selling his software.
