As many of you know, things are getting exciting with AE's ability to import and actually use 3D models

for the first time, it's currently in beta. Anyone know when the final touches and polishing will be done and this will be available as a general release ?  ( I've been dabling with Adobe 3D Stager ) and it's very limited at the moment, so having 3D object animation in AE is very exciting.  Thanks for any news, info, and guesstimates !

You're welcome, David! I actually have some timely news for you about this feature. Just yesterday this featureset got a pretty nice update, check out the post from the AE team here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-beta-discussions/feature-focus-extract-cameras-and-lights-from-3d-models/m-p/13648084#M2778

Nope, nobody knows, and anyone who does know (the AE team) won't be talking. This featureset is in such early development that I suspect it won't be coming out for some time. NAB is in April, although that feels a little too close to now, so there's always Adobe MAX in the Fall. This is a really big feature and has a lot to go before it's truly useful in a production environment. I agree that it's pretty exciting to see this being worked on and it'll be fun to watch the development progress. 

Heck, look at the Properties panel; it's incredibly useful right now, and I use it every day; but it's been in beta since last December, and it keeps getting more useful.

    Hello David,

    I just got an email from Adobe asking if your reply helped me.... I didn't even know you had made a reply until now, for some reason I never got the email alert that you HAD replied, so thank you for that.  It's good to know, thanks for letting me and others know, and thanks for your elaborate reply I appreciated you taking the time ! Thank you ! 🙂  I've marked your answer as "correct"
