Create a Displacement Map in C4D To Use in After Effects with FreeForm Pro

Chris Lavelle shows us how he makes a depth map in C4D to use in After Effects with FreeForm Pro. It’s one way to make a Displacement Map that can be used by FreeForm Pro. Why not stay in C4D to continue the project in true 3D? Well, FreeForm Pro is a great solution when you want to stay in After Effects and use the motion graphics tools and filters, and all other effects that are not available in C4D. Depending on your requirements, this is a faster workflow, with quick visualization of your final project.
