Made this full 3D scene entirely in After Effects, no Cinema 4D, no Blender, some AI-generated 3D models.
AE is honestly creeping closer to being a legit 3D tool. Still missing proper rigging and animation support for 3D models (Blender exists for a reason), but for motion design and 3D scene composition? It's surprisingly capable.
Built this shot completely inside After Effects, Full tutorial here if you want to try it yourself:
Drop any questions below, happy to help.
