Element 3D Character Animation - After Effects Tutorial

Hello guys, Costa here!
Today we will get deep into the 3D VFX art by creating an amazing, yet easy to do, Character animation working inside Adobe After Effects using Element 3D!
I will show you a really cool process that not many people are aware of ("pssst: ...obj sequence").

Since this is my first tutorial, any suggestion is really well appreciated. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment down below. Let's share each other's ideas, tips and tricks about this beautiful 3D world.

See ya!

///--TEXTURE DOESN'T SHOW UP CORRECTLY IN E3D:
Mixamo.com has changed some of the FBX format parameters, so some of the characters may show up with "broken" textures.
///-SOLVE:
If the textures appear white/grey (inside Element 3D), go back to Mixamo.com and try to download the character-animation using the Collada (.dae) format this time. Of course you will need to redo the Blender step then, importing the Collada (.dae) file instead of the old FBX.

Please stick with Blender version 2.78 or 2.79. Do NOT use Blender 2.80 (or higher) if you want to follow along with this tutorial.
