Hi everyone
I have Mac Studio with Ventura 13.2.1 . I tried importing a .glb and .obj file in AE 23.2.1. Why does this happen? What is wrong?

Here is the list of the compatible file types that After Effects. 3D models are not directly supported in the current release. You might want to look here: Preparing and importing 3D image files

 

The Beta version of AE does have limited support for some 3D model files. 3rd party effects like Video Copilot's Element 3D have the ability to import 3D models and you can import 3D models if you add a C4D file to your project using C4D lite and Cineware.

OBJ import is available in the beta version of AE, and will be coming soon to the release version. We had a late-breaking issue where OBJ import conflicted with other 3D tools and caused a crash, so it's staying in beta a little longer to make sure those issues are resolved.
