Question

Exporting photoshop 3d to after effects

I'm hoping someone out there can help with this project. 

I'm working on a 3d logo in photoshop but my client wants to adjust movement and image tracking in after effects so the logo will essentially move with the video footage it's placed on. 

 

I've seen in past forms of PS and AE you've been able to export the object as an obj and it appear in its 3d form in AE, however this no longer seems to work.

 

Hopefully someone has the answer on how to do this as I'm completely stummped.

 

 Cheers

After Effects cannot import 3D objects from PSD files. In order to open and manipulate your exported 3D OBJ file within After Effects, it needs to be opened with Cinema4D Light within After Effects (must be started within After Effects by creating a new Maxon Cinema4D file).
