Adding text to animation video

[benjaminf80448985]

Hi,

I'm looking to create videos like the one linked below. I plan on using Blender then adding text and other elements in after effects. Looking at the video, would anyone have any suggestions for the best way of doing this? Could it all just be done in Blender or is it best to use both programs. I know this is a chat solely for after effects but just wanted to get some insight on the best way of developing this if anyone knew?

Thanks for writing in, benjaminf80448985.

I think it can be done entirely in Blender, but adding text in After Effects would be easier and allow for the flexibility of editing it on the go.

Feel free to reach out if there are any other questions.

Thanks,

Just to add to the post from @nishu_kush , I'd go further and just use Blender to create and texture the model.  Then instead of rendering it there, I'd export it as a GLB / GLTF file.  I'd use After Effects for all the animation, not just the text.  With the new 3D model imports you have so much control.  Things like the arrows could be exported separately then animated in.  

The dotted 3D line could be a shape layer but turned into a 2.5D solid.  This will intersect the model, giving you a lot of control.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm fairly new to both Blender and After Effects but I will try this approach of doing the 3D model in Blender then doing the animation in After Effects.
