OMG Blender to AE is just what we need ! please more of it !! ❤
There will be more :D
@@SurfacedStudio Hello SS, any updated info in your description box also do you also have a tutorial on the FSpy plugin tool?
What I appreciate about this channel is that you always show the final effect first then jump into the tutorials. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the great feedback :) Glad you liked it!
thank you for this, Tobias.Looks like promising start of tutorial series. I hope we will get to camera tracking and more complex scenes. Thank you again for your work.
You're welcome Pavel! There will be more coming soon - hopefully I'll at least get part 2 up soon...ish :) And I do want to cover more complex 3D integrations as part of this series as well
How funny.. I'm working on a project that requires this knowledge on the day you released this video.. how cool!
That worked out well :D
This always happens with tutorials lol. Hope the project went well
@@Leukick Thank you!
same here, actually.
I know I probably won’t get a response but how long did the rendering take for all of you?
Tobias, another outstanding tutorial! I'm just getting into Blender myself, but this has some great content which only helps to inspire me to continue with my Blender experiments.
Thank you very much :D Really happy to hear you got something useful out of the tutorial - Blender is a pretty cool, and also very fun, tool to use!
Great !! Amazing ! Incredible ! Thank you so much to share your experience !!!
And the 2 parts in less than 1 hour : Great job Guys !
You're very welcome, glad to hear you liked it :)

I love these tutorial about composite 3D to live footage. Thank you very much.😊😊
No worries at all Anson, glad to hear you liked it :) I want to create tons more on the topic as there's so much to it (but it's actually not as difficult as people initially think). Hopefully I'll get part 2 done soon!
You're doing an amazing job here. I really appreciate your work. Keep going!
Thank you for the awesome comment, glad to hear you enjoyed the tutorial :)
This tutorial kind of changed my life ! It was the first time I came across Blender and picked it up.
Here I am now make a living with Blender.
Thank you for the epic comment! What do you do for a living now? I'm super touched to hear that my weird tutorials were useful to you along the way!
You are re the only person on youtube that I have followed on all my accounts and definitely been with you the longest . I think its been 6 or more years niw. CHEERS TOBIAS another great tutorial
Thank you very much 2hip :D I appreciate the support and glad to hear you are enjoying my content - as much as it varies over the years haha!
Can't wait for the next part. This is awesome
Thank you, hopefully won't take me too long to complete part 2 :D
Absolutely amazing tutorial, so easy to understand and follow along. I am subscribing!
Thank you for the comment :) Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
I think giving the wall and groud a green diffuse will have a good result if you want to get shadow catcher in eevee. Just chroma key it in after effects and it still leaves the shadow.
There are some tricks on how you can get shadow catchers working in Eevee :) I'm still hoping they'll add official support for that into Blender soon
It requires 6 nodes to create a shadow catcher in evee. Not that hard but for beginners I'd say it's confusing.
Do you need both blender and element 3D? What softwares did I need to pay for?
I‘ve been waiting for this. Thank you.
Nice tutorial
Glad to hear you enjoyed it :D
Wonderful tutorial… exactly what i was looking for. Thank you and congrats
Glad to hear you liked it!
Finally found some time to take this 3D stuff more seriously. I knew you were the first one to go to. Thanks!
You’re very welcome :) I’m finally making new versions of some of theses older tutorials for the newer versions of Blender. I’m slow as usual but more coming soon :D
Five years I have learned from your tutorials AE and Blender thank you very much
Thank you very much for the comment - really excited to hear you've been sticking around for that long :D Makes me feel slightly ancient though haha!
Excellent information!!! Well developed and pertinent to what I hope to do in future videos. Many thanks!!!!
You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
Always love your tuts. Thanks.
Thank you very much for the comment :D Much appreciated!
The topic I was waiting for. Thank you very very much!
Glad to hear :D And you are very welcome!
Cant wait for part 2. I really enjoy this tutorial.
That's great to hear, thank you :) Hopefully part 2 won't take me too long to create
you are amazing! and literally the best way of explanation thank you so much
You're very welcome!
very awesome that you started to make tutorials on blender with after effects
Started a little while ago and it’s what I personally use :) Really just sharing what I do myself haha
Love you bro! Been looking for this! Why is the no other 2.8 blender and after effects tutorials? You saved me!!!!!
No worries bro :) Glad you found it useful! Hopefully part 2 will be done soon!
thanks man i was looking a video like this since morninh thands
This is awesome! Thanks for the tutorial!!!!
No worries, glad to hear you liked it!
Awesome tutorial, Tobias!
Thank you very much for the comment!
all your videos are so helpful! thanks!
Glad you like them! :D
Yet another excellent tutorial from a great teacher. Your effort is appreciate, sir.
Many thanks! Glad you liked it!
This tutorial helps a lot, thank you so much sir 😄
Glad to hear!
Im a UA-cam user, and is the first time that i have the same UA-cam video in two differents list. Nice work.
:D I hope that's a good sign?
Hi , Thanks for the tuto. Maybe a little correction. The scale in Blender must always be 1 (CTRL A - Scale) but are not the real dimensions. Select the object and Press T in the viewport. Chose Item. The dimensions are then visible. Your cube has the dimensions 2mx2mx2m.
you just made me want to start doing this. I have zero experience 😔 but I am so excited to learn with you.
Go for it - never too early to start! And I'm sure you'll enjoy using Blender :)
Best viedo ever I found explain how to add mesh to a video , most other tutorial are rush not step by step explaining .
Thank you for the great feedback!
This tutorial was great. It frequently went too fast for me, and I didn't end up with the same results as you, but I learned a lot, found out about Surfaced Studio. I don't have AE and didn't know about it. I am looking for an alternative. Thanks.
Thank you for the comment 😀 The tutorial assumes that you’re fairly familiar with Blender (and AE). Also you’re looking for a free alternative to AE check out HitFilm Express :D
Thank you!
Please do more tutorials like this. ❤
You're welcome :) And that's the plan! Part 2 hopefully coming soon!
I'm so excited for the part 2! ❤
This is exactly what I was looking for but the only problem is my footage is a moving shot and not a tripod shot and also I have a fbx file from mixamo so I'm completely confuse, a tutorial showing how to do this with moving footage would be awesome, thank you.
Your awesome man.. great way your explaining stuff..
Glad you’re enjoying my tutorials!
Thank you very much! I think I've found a free alternative to Element 3D, very good video!
very very helpful sir, thank you
Glad to hear you found it helpful :)
Thankyou, I need A Understandable Tutorial on Blender 2.8. Now I Found It😃☝️
Glad to hear you found the tutorial useful :D
Awesome vídeo!
:D
This is what i wanted from years XD thank you sir
You're welcome :) Had to get around to it eventually haha!
@@SurfacedStudio cheers :D
thanks for make it so simple 😊
No worries, glad you enjoyed it :D
that's exactly what i want. Thanks!
You're welcome :D
This is exactly what I was looking for! :)
That's great to hear, thank you!
@@SurfacedStudio Yes, this helps me alot to get into 3d vfx for my channel :)
Adding things, removing them with after effects, blowing them up and such!
thank you for this your videos are amazing!
You're welcome, glad you like them!
Great tutorial. thanks!
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Although I don't use after effect, I use fusion from davinci resolve, but this tutorial gave me the base line I've been looking for and thank you for that good sir! Subscribed!!
Thank you very much for the support and that is great to hear😊 Hopefully the workflow isn't too different, but all of the basic concepts should translate quite well to other software packages
@@SurfacedStudio you deserve more recognition... the work flow very different since davinci resolve is a node based software but since I am new to blender I was more interested in working and creating 3D model so you definitely covered that so very grateful for that!
love your AE tutorials....😄😄😄
Thank you :D
Love this tutorial
Glad to hear!
@@SurfacedStudio sir can you make a tutorial on how to use blender with after effects for VFX
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Pls more for collaboration with Blender and Ae. Thanks again
There will be more :)
I’m glad this came out because I just started working in blender. Thank you!
Glad to hear that worked out :D
This video is nice 👍
Blender vfx is difficult for me.
But I'm getting how to use Blender in this video!!
Thank you ☺️
You are welcome, thank you for the comment :D
Bro bro bro you r really my bro you teached me everything.....thanks
You're welcome!
Thanks a lot!!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the tutorial! I've run into a bit of an issue when trying to render out my animation...in the viewport the animation plays back fine, however when I render it, or even view animation via the Render tab (or ctrl+f11), it is stuck on some random frame with no motion or physics. When I say stuck, I mean the animation, as seen in the viewport, does not render out, and it just renders multiple instances of the random static frame. I found that a few people have had this issue online, but there didn' t seem to be a solution. Baking and switching engines didn't do anything for me. Is this just a bug with the newest release? I'd appreciate any help with the issue :)
Thank you for help with 3D!
No worries at all!
I love to learn BlendA, with you.
:D
Nice tutorial keep it up making blender and after effects for vfx
Thank you and I will :)
Thanks for this!
You're welcome!
Nice sir this video is very helpfull
Glad to hear! Thank you for the comment!
This Video Deserves more Views
Awwww :D
Great tutorial! Quick question: I started from where I left off today and when I select SURFACE>COLOR>ENRIONMENT TEXTURE and add the lookout photo it all stays purple rather than editing the cube. I also cannot seem to see my movie clip anywhere even when I disable the purple coloring. Any ideas? Thank you!
excellent !
Many thanks!
awesome thanks
You’re welcome!
Hey man, great series. Where are the other episodes? I've seen the Playlist and I'm really waiting on that video in which you build the wall, smash it, and then show us how you create it in Blender, and add it to your video. Same with the garage shot, how the roof came down. Can you show us a start to finish? So building the roof, having the barrel drop through it making the roof shatter, rocks dropping around you and then combine it with the video?
THANK YOU!
You are welcome :D
Cool tutorial, btw u can use shading editor to work with world and material settings. It much more easier there.
Yup - I covered the shader editor in a separate tutorial and wanted to keep this one as simple as possible :)
Finally finally finally thank you
You're welcome :D
Its awesome tutorial
:D
This is a great channel, your videos are very clear and well explained, could you do a video of the same thing but in hitflim express?
Thank you very much :) I might at some point, but the basics are very much the same no matter what program you use for the 'compositing' part of the effect. I got quite a few tutorials that cover all the basics for HitFilm Express
Thank you so so much !!!! great content, it helped a lot!
Can you do a tutorioal on what you described at 14.40?
It would help so much if you made a detailed video about enviroment maps.
Again, thank you x100000000
just downloaded a halo pelican dropship model, excited to see what I can do with it
Good luck and have fun!
@@SurfacedStudio thank you :)
Danke. Bitte mehr Blender VFX 😌
Gern geschehen :) Mehr Blender tutorials werden kommen!
I show respect
Right back at you!
Damn coming back with a strong one
Was about time hehe :D
Great tutorial, however in the future I'd like to know what the key presses are for different keyboards, for instance my Scandinavian qwerty keyboard has tilda bound to a different key.
Thank you :) If you have a custom keyboard or a different language keyboard or some custom mapping you might have to look up the relevant keys online. I try to cover Mac and Windows as that's the most common options, but anything beyond that might lead to me saying things like "Now press ALT, or OPTION on a MAC or SMACK on the XPro4NT keyboard or % if you have that mapped to ALT or Option..." and I don't think that'd be very enjoyable for anyone :D
Danke!
Gern geschehen :D
Hey, can you please show how to get reflections also like the shadow catcher!?
Yep i'm in Surfaced Studio.
Spotted you icon on another channel. I want to learn and hopefully pick up this skill set too.👍 🇬🇧
Hi there! Hope there's something useful you can get out of my strange little tutorials. Glad to have you hear! I've always avoided 'SS' as abbreviation - as a German (or anyone really) that is not a good abbreviation to use...
@@SurfacedStudio Take your point - my error not thinking ahead there! and have changed that unmentionable 👍
nice thanks
You're welcome!
Awesome tutorials
Thank you!
@@SurfacedStudio my pleasure though by the way thanks to you i made a career from my animation and your tutorials helped me so much by the way i known you in 2017 cheers partner.
Now that is AWESOME to hear :D Makes me happy!
@@SurfacedStudio no i want to say i was learning under your awesome teaching my first ever program was hit film express you taught me well though cheers.
Hi nice video, but how i render the animation (i mean some object for example) without background or photoes and floor. Only animated object what i need, thanks
great tutorial. I am a beginner, and when i load in a background image, it would not show up in the camera view. (video works, but not image) also when positioning the modell in the camera view, the modell was clipping in to the background video
Is there anything blocking the background in the camera view? Try setting up a blank scene with nothing in it, add a background image to your camera and go into camera view - does that work?
How did you get the background image in camera view to show up in rendered view? I had to do some workaround which included turning on transparent in Render Properties/Film, which I see you only did later on.
I had the same issue as well. @Surfaced Studio, why did yours work without having to enable this?
Very nice video ! I'm trying to do the same kind of stuff, but in my case, the 3D object is very big and far away from the camera. I have good result but do you know how can I apply an athmospheric occlusion effect only on the mesh in Blender ?
Thank you! Do you mean like adding mist into the scene (e.g. like atmospheric fog)? There's a mist option available in Blender - or you can do it in compositing (e.g. After Effects, etc)
Instead of a shadow, what if I want to render a glowing object that's radiating light on its surroundings? Could I composite that glow effect into the video? Could this be achieved with blender + AE?
Guys, listen! This video is pretty good. It is good for basic things in Blender. But forget the way he set the perspective. There are free tools and even Blender addons for that.
You can use any free tool or add on you like to set the perspective :) For such a simple static shot I don’t think it’s necessary though and I believe there’s some value in understanding how to do it manually. But to each their own :)
Hey! Thanx for the videos! I´ve seen some and they look amazing! I have a question if you might point me in the right direction maybe. How can I interact with a 3d object? IDK if you have seen FXHome youtube channel about grabing a 3d thor hammer. But i am more like you.. blender + after effects. I found that video extremely thedious to follow and maybe im wrong, but there must be a less time consuming way to do such a trick. Forget about the hammer, think of a spaseship steering wheel. a 3d gun, or a lever. I still cant find a way interact with a 3d object WHEN fingers are all across de object. It would be easy to hold something or have something over you. But grabbing it. I cant a single youtube video on how to do so. IS there any tutorial out there?
preferably free? THANX in advanced! Really hope I can get some guidance.
Shift Tilda?! Thanks for the hot key. I'll repay the favor: Shift . (period key) to enable/disable transform origin only mode.
This tutorial rocks heavy. Can I do this in Davinci Resolve instead of AE?
LITERALLY was looking for this. I know the workflow with C4D and AR but haven’t tried working with Blender and AE. Thank you for this 🙏🏾
That worked out well :) Thank you very much for the comment!
i wonder have you done one of these for a scence with movement? In that case, would motion tracking be baked in to the Blender scene & geometry? thanks v much!
I had a scene with movement and I used plug-in AE2Blend and the. Followed this, worked perfectly
Amazing
:D
thank you
You're welcome!
Hello 👋,can you do a tutorial on hoe to do Face Rig and Facial Expressions in Blender because I'm down for a short movie project and I need to Face Rig the characters in the vid clip,thanks 😊.
damn i need the second part xD
Hopefully won't take me too long to finish part 2 :D
finallyyyyy
thanks alot
You're welcome :D More coming soon... ish!
@@SurfacedStudio when I'm really looking forward to it
Awesome video! I am having trouble though, when I try to composite the photos together the final video has a black background but the pngs have transparent backgrounds. Any way to get a transparent background video like yours?
How are you compositing your photos together? Whatever software you are using are you exporting in a format that has an alpha channel (aka transparency)?
