Import from After Effects
Hey
I've been looking around for a possible way, plugin or a tool that allows me to import my work from "Adobe After Effects" to Unity3D.
I did find a plugin in the Store but it only exports the transform changes (size,position, parenting...) But is there a way to import the visual effects such as the Shutter, Colorify and others ? If not from AE any other software.
Thanks

I very highly doubt it. Transform changes are one thing, as they are a fairly universal but importing effects would require a whole lot of work, and some of them might not be possible (or just not advisable). An engine like Unity is a very different beast from software like AE and not really comparable at all.
The best thing you can do is to look at the effect you are applying in AE, then see if you can achieve it via shaders in Unity. You're probably talking about post-processing effects, which are expensive but depending on your platform you could probably get what you want. I'm sure you'll even find assets on the store that get you 90% of the way there.
That's exactly what I'm doing right now, applying these effects in AE using other approaches which can be exported.
Just thought to give a shot and see other opinions :) But thanks for the clarification Phil
Cheers
