Joren Kandel for the Pixel Lab shows how to set up a scene in Cinema 4D using object buffers to be able to easily manipulate the colors in post using After Effects. Check out the tutorial for Color Design Workflow in Cinema 4D & After Effects here.

If you are setting a lot of Object Buffers in Cinema 4D, Charles Rowland (@RagingClaw) has created Buffer Booster Just for that – it’s designed to save time by creating Object Buffers in Cinema 4D for all objects in a scene and inserts them into the multipass. Buffer Booster for Cinema 4D is available for the nominal cost of $10.00 on the newly designed & launched C4DTools.net here.

It’s a really nice technique if you have multiple spots that need different colors using the same render. If that situation comes up for you, this will save you tons of time!
