Question

exporting 3D model from Blender to AE

I watched this video on how to export a 3D model to be manipulated in AE, but am having no luck

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5hkUhQ1sU4

In AE, when I'm importing, at 2:04 of the video, it explains there should be a box to check that states "Live Photoshop 3D", but at that point there is no box for me to check.

Is there another way to do this with the latest versions?

    Photoshop Live 3D hasn't existed since CS 5.5. It was a rubbish workflow, anyway. These days you use Cinema 4D Lite and Cineware to render such models or specific plug-ins like Element 3D or Plexus.

    I looked at those options, but they all cost money. Is there not a way to do it that doesn't? I mean, I'm paying for the whole Creative Cloud

    You can model something in Blender, save the file as an OBJ file, create a new C4D file in AE using C4D Lite, then add the OBJ file to C4D. I actually do that quite often. C4D Lite that now comes with the Creative Cloud version of AE is way more powerful and faster to work with than Photoshop 3D ever was.
