3d plugin?

Is there a 3d plugin that would import 3d files into FCP X?

Understand. Didn't mean to sound flippant. The sphere of 3rd-party app-providers for FCPX is growing... but it's still small enough that most of us are familiar with most of their products. The main ones are: (in no particular order)


CrumplePop

Noise Industries

Red Giant

FCPEffects

CoreMelt

FXFactory


OTHERS: (minor, IMHO)

Automatic Duck

Borix FX

CHV Electronics

Digieffects

GenArts

ISP


Perhaps knowing these names will help your search!

the demoes are nice, but you very soon stumble into the main problem with 3D:

compositing.


a 3D-title is a seperate 'layer' with its own physics, aka lights, material etc.


but… , when I like to add a simple Flying Saucer to my son's movie, I instantly run into trouble, if I want to make it look real, or at last 'integrated': position of sun, perspective, camera movements etc etc etc .....


... I guess, hobbyists like me have to wait another 10y for making my own Transformer movie 😁

3d plugin?
