How to Use 3D in After Effects | Full Blender Workflow

So… Adobe finally lets you use 3D models in After Effects natively… but it’s not quite as plug-and-play as they made it seem 😅 In this one, I walk through my full workflow using Blender to clean up Sketchfab models, fix broken anchor points, and get proper lighting into After Effects using HDRIs. No shade to the 3D artist who made this! He did a great job and it was a good exercise for those of you who are dipping their toes in 3D.
