If I have a 3D model in C4D with condensation on a can, what would be the workflow to export as a .glb or.OBJ and import that into AE Beta to have thecondensation show up within AE Beta, is this possible?
Has anyone here run into this sistuation?
Thank you.

Hi Joshua

Cinema4D does have native GLB export in recent versions but can you tell us how the condensation is being created? Is it a material? Is it a separate model from the can?

Hello Brian,
the condensation is made from a cloner with the distubution set to surface.
So yes it's sepreate geometry than the can itself. 
Would I need to export the can as a .glb then just the cloner as a .glb (condesation)?
Or do a current state to object so it's all one piece if geomertry?
Attached is a screen shot of how it's rendered with Redhift in C4D.
Thank you

Thanks for your response,
Sounds good, I understand the Curent state part, it's more of how to get it to look like the screen shot that I attached within After effects, does the material need to baked down into one (.jpeg/.png)?


GLB is a file format that contains the material inside of it so I would imagine the baking would be handled by C4D GLB export. I'm not familiar with C4D's OBJ export. Would it be possible for you to try this workflow?

Just following up on this. Gonna asume with the lack of responses it's likely not an easy workflow?
