Question

transparency in 3D models created in Blender

I created a 3D model of an iPhone in Blender, and I can't figure out what format what export settings it should be in so that it appears as I drew it. I don't see the transparency of the glass on the cameras, there is also no noise on the case, the color of the panels and materials are also not what they should be.
Tell me what I'm doing wrong? 3D mode in AE - advanced 3D.

    What file format did you export as from Blender?

    glb. I also tried obj, but then the figure was displayed "torn" and not solid.

    Hi there,


    Thanks for reaching out. I can definitely investigate this. Do you mind sharing the 3D model that you exported from Blender and the Blender project file for testing? Feel free to share them via DM.

    In the meantime, you can apply Substance materials to the objects inside After Effects. Here's how: https://adobe.ly/4sigraU

    Looking forward to your response.


    Thanks,

    Blender project Thanks for the reply, Nishu. I think I'm using the wrong settings when exporting. But which ones? I don't know because I'm just starting to learn Blender, and I know almost nothing about export settings.
