Any idea?

Hello,

I've created an animation in C4D & Octane of a laptop opening.

I'd like to render it out (I assume in EXR), open the image sequence in After Effects and replace the material on the 'screen' object with a comp from within After Effects.

This material sits behind a 'glass' object, so I'm hoping when I replace the 'screen' material it will keep all the reflections from the HDRI.

This way if the client changes the screen contents I don't need to re-render out the laptop animation from C4D.

Thank you.

Hi,
sorry, I'm not an AE user, but please have a look at Custom AOV for getting the reflection mask from the glass:
