==3D Modes==

~~In modern versions of AE, there~~ are ~~two "~~modes" of 3D: "Classic 3D", and [[Cinema 4D]], which implements the C4D renderer into After Effects. ~~Classic 3D is much faster and more than enough for most projects.~~ Cinema 4D is needed for specific advanced tasks like extruded text and "bending" layers in 3D space. This is also the only view available when importing C4D files directly into the program. A license for C4D is ''not'' required for using C4D mode.

There are various modes of 3D in modern After Effects:

* Classic 3D, the basic 3D renderer. Fast and simple, good for most projects.

* [[Cinema 4D]], which implements the C4D renderer into After Effects. Cinema 4D is needed for specific advanced tasks like extruded text and "bending" layers in 3D space. This is also the only view available when importing C4D files directly into the program. A license for C4D is ''not'' required for using C4D mode.

* Advanced 3D, which is in versions 24.0 and higher. Allows for many of the special features possible in the Cinema 4D renderer to be done natively. Also allows for the import of 3D objects into your composition.

In older versions of AE, there was another "rasterized" 3D mode. This worked well with older machines and had some special features, but was a lot slower and eventually removed. [citation needed]

~~In older versions of AE, there was a third "raster" 3D mode. This worked well with older machines and had some special features, but was a lot slower and eventually removed. [citation needed]~~
