Trapcode Particular affecting 3D object imports.

The trapcode plugin in After Effects seems to be affecting my ability to import 3D objects directly into After Effects (Not Cinema4D), obj, gltf files etc.

I'm trying to import a 3D object into After Effects, but all I see when I import the .obj file, is a message saying '3D Model for use with Trapcode'. Is this a bug, or am I doing something daft?

Can anyone please advise on how to fix this which doesn't require uninstalling Trapcode?

I'm using After Effects 23.6 and I have the latest version of Red Giant installed.
Thanks

We still have a bit more work to do on the 3D object import and rendering before it moves out of the beta apps. Hard to know exactly when we'll be done with that just yet.

It worked! Thanks! It's very simple this way

I have the same issue. But when I change the Import-Dialog to "All Files" and then select "3D-Model" as the Format After Effects seems to understand that I don't want to import the GLB or GLTF file for Trapcode.
Unfortunately the send to After Effects command from Substance Painter still did not work because the file is interpreted as a Trapcode Model.

That's interesting; I actually never tried to import it via the import dialogue... I always use drag & drop.
I manually removed the "TrapcodeOBJ.plugin" from Plugins > Format > Trapcode Folder, that solved the whole issue for me.

Same problem here.

I uninstalled Trapcode but it doesn't work.

Then I removed manually the "TrapcodeOBJ.plugin" from Plugins > Format > Trapcode Folder and the OBJ still doesn't work but importing GLB works.

I'm running AE 24.1 and Trapcode 2024.1 on a Mac Studio Ultra, Ventura 13.5.2

That's because.obj importer is still in beta.

Thanks @JohnColombo17100380. I've downloaded the beta version and it does seem to work. Any idea as to when the 3D import feature will be fully implemented into After Effects?

Hi @rich-on-the-line,

Thanks for reporting this issue. 3D model import is currently only supported in the Beta version of After Effects, available in the Beta section of the Creative Cloud app. Do you see this same issue if you install and use the Beta version?

Thanks again for reporting this issue and for any further information you can provide,
