On November 13, 2025, 6 pm Central, Jon Merrifield will present an in-depth look at the new 3D assets and environment tools in the recent release of Adobe After Effects 25.5. This release marks a significant step forward for motion design—introducing native 3D models, environment maps, materials, lighting, and real-time rendering improvements that bring full 3D integration directly inside AE.
Jon will demonstrate how these new 3D workflows fit into compositing and design pipelines, how to blend 2D and 3D assets seamlessly, and what this means for the future of After Effects as an actual hybrid 2D/3D workspace.
Perfect for motion designers, compositors, and visual effects artists ready to expand their toolkit into the new 3D space.
The group meets online via Zoom for our monthly FREE presentation on the second Thursday at 6 p.m. CST. It’s in the same room as always. To obtain the Zoom link, please contact us.
