Author Notes

Blender has an extremely powerful untapped range of physics simulation capabilities that can be utilised in Adobe After Effects with the help of BlenderAe2. In this experiment we create some 3D text rigid body physics in Blender, and bring it back into After Effects to composite and modify.
