Fun trick with After Effects beta: as you can now transform textures on 3D models, you can do cool stuff like UV offset animation for facial expressions and lip sync.

If you want to give it a try, this character is free from Mixamo and has eyes, brows and mouth separately controllable.
Goofing around with mixing parametric meshes and expressions in After Effects beta. This is fun.
Are you running into specific issues or looking for a better workflow?
This technique would also work really well with an animated 3D model + the 3D Channel Extract effect to get the depth map.
Is there a way to move our save file over from a Windows game?
Ah, got it! I'll add your vote to the (many!) folks asking for comps as materials -- this is exactly the kind of 2D+3D workflow we want to support in the future.
Not yet. How would you like to use it?
Who are your favorite After Effects tutorial makers?
25.4+ only. Older versions may crash on launch.
Off to London to meet up with fellow AE nerds and see some standup, then on to IBC. The journey begins! 🛫
Good catch, I can repro this too. How weird! We’ll look into it.
After Effects 25.4 is live! 🎉
Easily offset layers just by dragging, paste text formatting, work with CICP metadata for HDR images, and get quick access to info about effects.

Just saw an ad for a product made from “plant based wood” and now I want to know what the alternative is.

This article was a supreme delight: grab a cup of tea, set aside 10 or 15 minutes, and enjoy this story about The Hardest Working Font in Manhattan.

The hardest working font in Manhattan
A story of a 150-year-old font you have never heard of – and one you probably saw earlier today.

Sometimes it'll be your own name! 😁
🆕 Pleased to share that 💡Tip of the Day💡 is back and better than ever in After Effects beta!

Open an empty comp window to see a helpful tip submitted by an AE community member (maybe even yourself?). Here are a few examples; there are more than 100 in all.

And you have to keep them charged, and trust they’re going to pair reliably.
My hunch: the rise in this behavior correlates with the disappearance of headphone jacks from mobile devices. It added friction to doing the polite thing.
Some fun morning noodling around in After Effects with Card Dance and Radio Waves.
A recent addition to After Effects beta: clean up your 3D giz-mess by adjusting all your 3D layers with a single gizmo. Makes 3D interaction a lot faster, too!

Also 🆕 in After Effects beta this week: spot and parallel light shadows in Advanced 3D are now faster and higher quality.
