MAXON CINEMA 4D, the company’s leading 3D animation software for film, broadcast and motion graphics professionals, is acclaimed for its seamless integration in After Effects. At the conference, a veritable ‘Who’s Who’ of CINEMA 4D and After Effects design professionals, educators and industry influencers, including Steve Forde, Mark Christiansen, John Dickinson, Rob Garrott, Angie Taylor, Joe Herman, Tim Rice, Kanen Flowers, Brian Maffitt, Michele Yamazaki, Eran Stern, Harry Frank, David Simons, Todd Kopriva, Daniel Wilk, and Richard Harrington, will lead conversations and in-depth workshops that focus on how to take advantage of these two powerhouse applications and maximize creativity.

A major focus at the show will be sessions devoted to the streamlined workflow between CINEMA 4D and After Effects, facilitated by CINEWARE, the new live 3D pipeline between the two applications. Presentations sponsored by MAXON will center on creating 3D motion graphics and visual effects efficiently and economically.

A complete list of After Effects World Conference sessions and industry ‘heavy-weight’ presenters is available here.

Rob Garrott, veteran motion graphics artist, instructor, and lynda.com author, will be giving several sessions including one aimed at motion graphics professionals new to CINEMA 4D. “The availability of CINEWARE in After Effects, gives Adobe users an unprecedented workflow for incorporating 3D content directly inside the industry-leading compositing program,” says Garrott. “I’m looking forward to giving After Effects users that are new to 3D and CINEMA 4D an introduction to the interface and powerful toolset that will allow them to take their motion graphics and visual effects to the 3rd dimension.”

During conference session breaks, MAXON will also host a tabletop booth at the AE Expo, where exclusive demonstrations of CINEMA 4D Release 15 (R15), its highly anticipated milestone release launched earlier this month, will also be available.

Paul Babb, president/CEO at MAXON US, is excited about the focused conference content at After Effects World that will delve into the new CINEMA 4D integration now available in Adobe After Effects CC.

“After Effects World has assembled some of today’s most accomplished motion graphics, VFX and 3D artists who will be sharing valuable insights and production friendly techniques to help Adobe users more easily bring 3D into their content creation,” says Babb. “Any artist interested in deepening their artistic skill set – whether novices or more experienced users – should attend.”
