Built for Speed and GPU’s

UPDATE: Now Available

So we are only days away from launching our new plug-in Element 3D (Watch DEMO VIDEO) and as you may know it renders using OpenGL on your graphics card. We are working on a more official list of supported cards but here are some general requirements and info.

Video Card Memory:
We recommend at least 1GB of video memory but 512MBs will work fine. We technically support 256MB cards but you will be limited on texture capabilities and you can actually buy a killer card for $150 right now which will boost performance a ton.

Minimum Cards Supported:
Nvidia Geforce 8800 and newer.
ATI 3870 and newer.

Support includes Geforce Series: 9000, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, Quadro 4000 (4800), 5000

IMPORTANT:
We HIGHLY recommend that you update your graphics card drivers from ATI or Nvidia for best performance. Users on Macintosh should update there OS which includes updated drivers.

Other notes:

  • Element 3D does not require CUDA only Open GL.
  • Quadro 4000 and similar cards on the mac are supported! We even have a fix for Optical Flares to allow full GPU performance in an update that will be out later this month.

I’ll have a full list of cards soon but you can look up your card online to see if it supports these features: DirectX 10 / OpenGL 3.3 / Shader Model 4

If you are in the market for a new card here are some nice picks:

$150: (For the price, these are insane cards)
NVidia GeForce GTX 560
AMD Radeon HD 6870

$300: (This is similar to performance of my machine a 580)
NVidia GeForce GTX 570
AMD Radeon HD 7870

$450+:
NVidia GeForce GTX 680
AMD Radeon HD 7970

Hi, thanks for these information and advices !

July 7th, 2012 @ 1:44 am

Element 3D looks amazing! Cant wait to see the final renders!

July 7th, 2012 @ 1:44 am

Thanks for the update man, but ive got 256mb VGA on my mid 2009 macbook pro, can that do the job?

    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:18 am

    My MACBookPro 4,1 is equiped with the Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT. Got 512 MB but only supports OpenGL 2,1 (and Shader Model 4.0, DirectX® 10).

    Is that enough ???

    Aaron
    July 11th, 2012 @ 5:01 pm

    256mb 8600m GT will it work?

July 7th, 2012 @ 1:46 am

cool)!Tell me, how much will go to the render gefors gt 430?

    July 7th, 2012 @ 2:04 am

    It will not be very fast. I suggest you get a PROPER GPU :)

July 7th, 2012 @ 2:02 am

In after effects CS6 when you make a 3d text using Ray-traced 3d feature
I noticed it is too slow (maybe because of my PC performance is low -NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS)

But we know we can do amazing things with Element 3D including a 3d text and I believe it is going to be faster

However, I am going to have a new card

    July 7th, 2012 @ 4:33 am

    That’s because After Effects is using NVIDIA’s Optix ray tracing engine which is GPU based. My guess would be that either you need to update your graphics card driver or that the card is too old to support this particular NVIDIA technology. This is one of the neat things about Element – it will not require CUDA, OPTIX (ray-tracing), or OpenCL at all, just OpenGL.

    Adnan
    July 7th, 2012 @ 5:51 am

    Aha I see
    Thank you Dennis

Matt
July 7th, 2012 @ 2:07 am

Where you say that mac users should update the OS it says “there” where it should say “their”, just thought I’d let you know. Also glad to see that element is compatible with graphics cards surprisingly lower than expected.

Jarrod
July 7th, 2012 @ 2:11 am

One think that hasn’t been addressed.
Can you animate these items?
Like animate the arrow?

    July 7th, 2012 @ 2:19 am

    In the demo video above, all the transform options for the array can be animated and you can even link the object position to a 3D null and move that around. The objects themselves are static models but you can use multiple models together to create animated parts etc.

Matt
July 7th, 2012 @ 2:11 am

Is it possible to integrate Element 3D along with the new 3D raytracing render engine in After Effects CS6?

    July 7th, 2012 @ 2:17 am

    Nope. Element uses a custom OpenGL render engine that we built separately.

July 7th, 2012 @ 2:17 am

Im using the gtx560se and opengl is working amazingly! takes all the strain from the cpu and cuts the time in half. I was just working with/rendering full res 4k footage and a 4 minute music video took around 10 minutes to fully render.

    July 8th, 2012 @ 4:53 am

    What is your processor? I have a 570. It’s time I update my processor

Flo
July 7th, 2012 @ 2:24 am

Hi Andrew. This Plugin will change the industry!

Do you have tips for MacBook Pro Owners (mine is Mid2010) ?
I got used to long render times. But will the plugin work?

Or do I have to upgrade? An iMac with 512MB GPU is on the list. But not before Next Year.

Thanks

Sean
July 7th, 2012 @ 2:33 am

Hi,
I have iMac from mid 2009, I run Photoshop, Maya, Nuke, AE, etc. and I have only NV 120GT with 256mb,
This card is also support my second monitor, so I run the above software and two FHD monitors, it is not strong enough?
I won’t say that I have excellent performance but I’v good performance…

    Therin
    March 28th, 2013 @ 3:13 am

    Sadly, on iMac ATI HD4670 graphic card with 256MB doesn’t support optical flares and element completely (because of GPU doesn’t supported)… Even lower multi-sampling and tex quality with hardware accelerate still it have very poor quality or easily crashes, open gl errors etc… And ATI doesnt support apple drivers since 2009. Ive tried before CS5 version of plugins and its work perfectly but now i’ll forget them i think…Im sure all new versions of plugins improve a lot but if it doesnt work in an average computer it doesnt matter how it improve…

July 7th, 2012 @ 2:35 am

Hi mate,

Really looking forward to Element! :D

I have the latest MacBook Pro Retina with 16gig ram and the nvidia 650m 1gig graphics card…….will that be able to handle Element okay do you think?

Many thanks

Cheers

July 7th, 2012 @ 2:36 am

Andrew, I have ASUS EAH5870 OpenGL 3.1 Shader Model 5.0.
Element will works with my graphics card?
Please give me answer.

    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:13 pm

    It’ll work pretty good! Your card actually supports OpenGL 4.1.

matt
July 7th, 2012 @ 2:38 am

Andrew Kramer, I love this plugin already and plan on picking it up. I gave up on trying to render realistic 3D objects from Blender and other 3D apps I have tried. I can see myself using this plugin for some motion graphics work but it would be helpful if you could make a tutorial on rendering realistic objects from popular 3D apps without it taking 24 years. Love your name BTW, always reminds me of Cosmo Kramer, any relation haha?

July 7th, 2012 @ 2:38 am

This is gonna be the bestest birthday in a while !

July 7th, 2012 @ 2:49 am

I noticed that you have the Classic 3D renderer selected in Ae CS6. Does the plugin also work with the new Ray Traced 3D renderer, so that you can have reflection passes from the environment you set up in Ae, rather than inside the plugin itself?

Regarding the available environments – how easy is it to include new (custom) reflection maps? Could you do a panorama photo stichted together in Ps and load it inside the plugin?

July 7th, 2012 @ 2:50 am

Kawasaki ninja 250 as a example

IM sold!! lol

July 7th, 2012 @ 2:53 am

This is absolutely INSANE! You guys are awesome… This plugin should absolutely be bundled by default inside AE, and Adobe should pay you millions for all the work you are doing, and all the customers that indirectly will be using AE because of you.

Keep on rocking!

Nils
July 7th, 2012 @ 2:59 am

Is SLI/Crossfire supported? or does it just use one GPU?

Gurjote Sansoa
July 7th, 2012 @ 3:02 am

I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 on my laptop. I have also upgraded my RAM to 8gb, So do you think thats ok?

July 7th, 2012 @ 3:03 am

I have four GTX 580s with 3gb memory, all water-cooled. Does the plugin use all four cards if it finds them in the system?

    Usman
    July 7th, 2012 @ 5:09 am

    Give me one card, you rich fatty :D

thomas
July 7th, 2012 @ 3:10 am

Will it render on ATI radeon 6630M on laptop??
I have 2nd gen i5 with 4 GB RAM.

July 7th, 2012 @ 3:12 am

mr andrew,… how about zaxwerks plugins???

July 7th, 2012 @ 3:13 am

Can it work on NVIDIA® GeForce® 410M GPU

July 7th, 2012 @ 2:19 am

I just bought a used evga 580 classified 3GB for under $400. I plan to put element and the new card to good use, along with octane render too :-)

July 7th, 2012 @ 3:20 am

Was the bike rendered with elements ?

July 7th, 2012 @ 2:25 am

hey Andrew, how animatable are the individual parts in the models, and would someone be able to simulate some particle interaction?

Farshad
July 7th, 2012 @ 3:31 am

Thanks Andrew for these information

Jorge Losilla
July 7th, 2012 @ 3:31 am

Lack of news in this case seems to be bad news. As far as I read it, seems that Mac users with 256MB GPU will have to change their computer if they want to use this plugin.

I don´t want to insist too much, but I guess there´s a lot of potential buyers in this situation. Is worth acquiring the product with these hardware specs?

Thanks in advance, I know that could be difficult to be honest in this subject.

    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:35 am

    Yo Jorge, 256 cards ARE supported just not recommended. Just depends on the card version. We support graphics cards that came out in 2006 (8800)… at some point we have to draw the line to provide the features that make this plug-in work.

    Jorge Losilla
    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:51 am

    Ok, I get it. There´s some risk involved…… Have you made any test? Maybe a video showing performance on a 256MB Mac would be helpful to take a decision.

    Sorry for the incovinience.

    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:59 am

    Our technical director Sergio, uses a 256 card and says it works pretty well. I wouldn’t call it risk… you just have to limit your textures. The example in the recent video would not have any problem but we just don’t want people to think they can just add unlimited textures and models…

    Jorge Losilla
    July 7th, 2012 @ 5:17 am

    It seems to be reasonable. Thanks for your explanation.

Shadow Dancer
July 7th, 2012 @ 3:54 am

Looks good. At least for me. Nvidia 8800. We can make it SLI to get better result I think.
One more question about Element 3D, Shaders, does them support UV mapping and does Element have built in texturing?

Physics
July 7th, 2012 @ 4:05 am

I have Nvidia GeForce 610 +2gb graphics card on my laptop so that should work just fine to do everything, right?

    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:10 pm

    It will work, but the performance will be reduced.

Shadow Dancer
July 7th, 2012 @ 4:16 am

Andrew, Can we use Element instead of 3D programs for instancing 3D objects, and emit 3D objects?
Since Element doesn’t support collision, did you add any options or tricks to solve this problem?

Dan
July 7th, 2012 @ 4:22 am

I’m planning on sticking a GTX 570 into the hackintosh rig I’m building, so i’m glad this is a recommended option!

Overgeneral
July 7th, 2012 @ 4:24 am

That sounds awesome but it isn´t possible to animate some parts of an object like the wheels from the bike, right? So you need to splitt it of in mulitble objects?

And it is possible to animate an arrow in an organic way? And what is about 3D Tracking? It would be so awesome if you can track 3D elements in 3D space (Or 2D optimized). If you create a Null-Object with some trackingdata, it is possible to link on an object from “3D Element”?

I think it would be awesome if you activate 3D Mode on “3D Element”, so you can add trackingdata to the x,y,z space and the Object would move in the right way like it should.

Sorry for my englisch and the many questions.

Ageiris
July 7th, 2012 @ 4:47 am

Andrew, and what about laptop graphics? For example, I have Nvidia GeForce GT640M with 2 GB VRAM. I think, my graphic card has enough capabilities for running Element 3D, right?

July 7th, 2012 @ 5:24 am

Since i like to work fast and with good visual quality, i have an ASUS Matrix GTX285. I know it will work, but is it going to give good results or you suggest me to upgrade?

July 7th, 2012 @ 5:35 am

Ok I am confused on the graphics cards. You are giving out some cards here and saying openGL when I look up the say Nvidia GTX 580 it is saying OpenCL says nothing about OpenGL what is the difference?

Thank you Andrew! Oh is it the 10th yet? Like a kid in a candy shop!

    July 7th, 2012 @ 10:58 am

    This card is supported. OpenCL is another GPU feature in addition to OpenGL

Will this work?

    Jacob Hayworth
    July 7th, 2012 @ 2:40 pm

    Yeah i got the same thing. I was hoping this will be very good for the plug-in

    July 7th, 2012 @ 6:00 pm

    You probably have two cards in your macbook pro. I have a macbook pro from mid 2010 and it has a Intel HD Graphics card as well as a GeForce GT330M. The GT330M card has 512mb ram. Go to About this Mac and More info

Jerry
July 7th, 2012 @ 5:45 am

Does it support Quadro 2000?

    July 7th, 2012 @ 10:59 am

    Actually yes, I’ll add this to the list.

July 7th, 2012 @ 5:52 am

When Andrew started with a Basic Sky Replacement Tut a few years back who knew someday he will be building an opengl render engine someday that will give some literal meaning to the word 2.5D. Great going man! Always a great follower of yours!

Your Plugin will increase Adobe AE’s sales..

July 7th, 2012 @ 6:03 am

So… if the models are static, you mean there are not any deformation options at all, like stretching or twisting, etc?

John
July 7th, 2012 @ 6:38 am

Does Element’s OpenGL support nvidia SLI or AMD/ATI Crossfire configurations?

    July 7th, 2012 @ 7:12 am

    That’s a good question! It would be awesome if Element could take advantage of two SLI GTX 680 for example…

July 7th, 2012 @ 6:55 am

Andrew the new plugin supports animations (OBJ sequences)?

July 7th, 2012 @ 7:07 am

If you use an Nvidia card you can head over here- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Quadro to see if it supports the features Andrew mentioned.

July 7th, 2012 @ 7:09 am

First, what are you doing up at 3:30am in the morning answering posts!? Second, are you going to post more demo videos prior to release? Curiosity is killin me!

Andrew Robinson
July 7th, 2012 @ 7:10 am

Andrew or anyone who might know: since it was mentioned having a GeForce GTX570 as a upgrade I’m assuming then this is fully compatilble with Element…I don’t have to worry about memory, shader model, etc. I have the 570 and I think it has 3mb memory and I know (errr..maybe know) it has directx 11 and open gl 4.4. I’m not too much into this side of computers (I simply told a computer guy that I needed to run 3ds max and then gave him a budget to build me a machine). I can’t seem to find any clear indication on the Nvidia site. Thanks to anyone who can educate me.

July 7th, 2012 @ 7:14 am

Hi Andrew,

A slight question aside from graphics cards, but a relevant one I reckon.

I’m wondering if the elements (no pun intended!) in the motion design pack can be used to create stock video footage?

Best,
Jack

MHF
July 7th, 2012 @ 7:26 am

Eric
July 7th, 2012 @ 7:32 am

Well, I’m happy to say I have an ATI Radeon 6970. I guess 6900 series is better than 6800? Hope so. And 2GB RAM! Wahoo.

light_thunder
July 7th, 2012 @ 7:33 am

Thing I like best is Element Plug-in support various GPU,so people who uses older GPU can use it easily, which can’t be supposed in Adobe. With Element Plug-in, I think we don’t need use 3D program. That’s great

Eric
July 7th, 2012 @ 7:40 am

Just an assumption but in the specs (DirectX 10 / OpenGL 3.3 / Shader Model 4), anything with higher number is even better, right? Like DirectX 11, Open GL 4.1, and Shader Model? I mean that’s usually the case but worth asking.

Eric

Eric
July 7th, 2012 @ 7:40 am

oops, Shader Model 5.0.

xandercorp
July 7th, 2012 @ 7:42 am

Andrew, here’s a question: Would this work on a GeForce GT 525M? That’s a laptop graphics card, these would be the details:

Core Speed * 600 MHz
Shader Speed * 1200 MHz
Memory Speed * 900 MHz
Memory Bus Width 128 Bit
Memory Type GDDR5, DDR3
Max. Amount of Memory 1536 MB

Will it work on laptop cards in general? I travel a lot so that would make it a ‘mobile plug-in’ as well, lol.

    July 7th, 2012 @ 10:56 am

    Ya should work fine!

    Lucas Monteiro
    January 1st, 2013 @ 5:26 pm

    Andrew, it doesn’t work on my laptop with the GeForce GT 525M. It only recognizes the Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000. Nvidia is already my main video card, so what should I do? The plugin is not working… This is what I see when I click on the About button:
    GPU Vendor: Intel
    GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
    GPU Driver: 9.17.10.2875
    GPU RAM: 0MB
    GPU Code: 0

    And did it work for you xandercorp?

Anyone have thoughts on the best MAC card? The only card i know of is the Quadro 4000 for Mac, and that has mostly bad reviews and it is slow.

    July 7th, 2012 @ 10:56 am

    The 285 is a good card too. Unfortunately the graphics card selection is limited because apple doesn’t allow manufacturers to provide driver support. Apple includes graphics drivers inside the operating system.

Hey Andrew ! you mentioned in the Demonstration video that the OBJ file should not be animated ! Can you guys try to fix it , I mean like to work with an Animated OBJ file. Would be Awesome :D Thanks !

    Eric
    July 7th, 2012 @ 8:34 am

    The beauty of an OBJ file is that you CAN animate it. It renders only the mesh of the object as one OBJ file but once in AE, you can animate it, rotate it, etc. The only two plugins I know of now that use the OBJ file are Red Giant Trapcode Form and now E3D.

    Eric
    July 7th, 2012 @ 8:37 am

    That will probably not be implemented. The animation engine that Andrew Kramer did not show us is probably for animating obj files.

    basuru
    July 8th, 2012 @ 6:03 am

    @Eric !! thanks man !! i almost forgot it.. Andrew is full of surprises.
    but i am like trying to figure up about fluid animation !! ok ok lets see that when Andrew releases it :D :D

    Eric
    July 8th, 2012 @ 7:10 am

    To the other Eric (looks like I answered myself here. lol I was a bit confused on your OBJ response on animation. The comment says “it will probably not be implemented” but then you follow by saying that the animation engine probably will animate it. Given that the package includes multiple OBJ files that are clearly animate-able, not sure I understand. If you can spin around the object on all sides, I presume you can keyframe that movement, i.e., animate. Now, someone else asked about deforming, etc….not sure on that but I have to think that once he shows that engine, there should be some capability like that too.

iSpy
July 7th, 2012 @ 8:20 am

SLI/Crossfire support?

Dude,
You haven’t said nothing about Intel stuff!
Does it support PC’s with Intel motherboard and all that?
If possible can some one give any information if it is capable to Intel E4600 motherboard??? And 2GB ram?? I AM DESPERATE!!!!

Does it support nVidia GeForce 9500 GT ?

    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:06 pm

    It is supported, but the performance will be reduced.

July 7th, 2012 @ 9:45 am

I need to ask the obvious question regarding the Nvidia Quadro 4000. Since you will be providing an update for OF for those with the Q-4000 for Mac users, will you be providing an update for those of us on a PC as well?

    July 7th, 2012 @ 10:53 am

    Doesn’t affect the PC users. Should be all good on Windows.

Flo
July 7th, 2012 @ 9:53 am

Allright. Thanks for the answer, Andrew.
My Card is ready for DirectX 10.1, Shader Model 4.1 and OpenGL 3.2. But just 256MB GPU.

Does this mean it´s enough? Sure, for speed you need more but I could do simple texturing?

Would be awesome!

    Draken
    July 7th, 2012 @ 6:24 pm

    like Andrew said, it will run but with limits on how complex your project will be (3D objects and Textures files) he recommends as minimum 512MB but will run on 256MB cuz he supports it.

Don
July 7th, 2012 @ 9:54 am

Dear Andrew, Even though i have less business for the last few months and i have no income these days, I will still buy this product to support you.

    I don’t know of any Quadro FX card that supports 3.1 but not 3.3, which card is it? Maybe it does support 3.3!

    July 8th, 2012 @ 4:08 am

    Im using a Quadro FX 3800 and as of Nvidia Website it only support OpenGL 3.1

    Dennis
    July 8th, 2012 @ 4:16 am

    Ok i have found the Answer..
    They Updated Open GL from 3.0 as of Release of the Card
    with the Current driver 296.88 it actually supports Open GL 4.2 :) so im good to go i gues..

    i would recomend checking your driver to se if they updated openGL to later versioans

    July 8th, 2012 @ 4:43 am

    NVidia’s website is out of date. With the most current drivers the Quadro FX 3800 supports 3.3! So you are good to go!

    Dennis
    July 8th, 2012 @ 5:16 am

    Thanks Sergio, i found out that with tha latest driver it supports opengl 4.1 so they update it through Drivers

July 7th, 2012 @ 10:16 am

do you have support for multi gpu’s, for example if i were using 2 nvida gtx 460′s would both be utilized in element?

Fantastic work Andrew, also congrats to your “behind-the scenes” collegues – I’m definetely buying this and I’ll do my best to promote it elsewhere.

Sounds like it could be a good idea, to include some info/recommendations on setting up Element, OpenGL and graphic cards. Also the compositing features and limitations with standard AE 3D layers. Thanks!

Quick question – I have an Nvidia Gefore 555m graphics card… Can I use Element 3D with thi? I can see the the 500 series is approved, but 555m is mde specifically for notebooks and laptops.

    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:03 pm

    Yes, Element will work with that card!

Brad
July 7th, 2012 @ 9:33 am

Andrew, given the prevalence of texture maps in your new plugin, it might help y user base to do a breakdown of the UV mapping process. I’m not asking for myself, I already know the basics, but at least a simple description of your process might help some new users wrap their head around the process. Granted, it’s not required knowledge for using E3d, but I think you agree it would be most helpful.

July 7th, 2012 @ 10:54 am

Hi Andrew. Looks very exciting. I have a ZX Spectrum 48k with the rubber keys. The tape cassette player still works fine to load the programs although sometimes it chews the tape and I have to respool it using a pencil. The last program I bought was Jet Set Willy, which I preferred to Manic Miner, but now I’m looking for a new challenge. Will Element work on the Spectrum or will I need to upgrade to the 128k?

Bocki
July 7th, 2012 @ 11:13 am

Can I run element with OpenGL 3.1?

    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:21 pm

    What card is it?

July 7th, 2012 @ 11:36 am

Hey Andrew, the Texture you used seems to wrap real nice around the model.. but when i create a new texture for an Obj. File how does Element 3d know how to wrap it ?

curious though, is there support for more than 5 groups?
ps, your plugin interface looks slick :) very nice.

July 7th, 2012 @ 11:58 am

Is the quadro 5000 a good card for VFX work? I have one in my machine now. Also do I have to set up anything in the preferences or does the plug-in just natively use the open GL or CL features?

    July 7th, 2012 @ 2:59 pm

    It’s a good card indeed, lots of VRAM. I’ll work with Element just fine, you don’t need to set anything up :)

Rich
July 7th, 2012 @ 12:51 pm

This is amazing BUT if you are not going to use your own obj or things youve created on your own in a 3d program , this thing will be boring and useless because i presume if this earphone is the only earphone style or there are a couple , people might use it over and over again . it will be soo boring . So i think importing OBJ will help someone like me . Another BUT, lets say i have an object i want to texture 2 side of it (say blue and white) , how would i be able to do that here?

    Rich
    July 7th, 2012 @ 12:56 pm

    Rich
    July 7th, 2012 @ 12:58 pm

    but seriously , i think this will be a good render than vray for motion graphics. so i will just import my obj and it will be even easier to animate in ae . But there should be something like gravity etc.

Looking at many comments people are concerned if their machines are capable of using ELEMENT 3D. Andrew you reply to one comment that cards back to 2006 are supported but in the features you state OpenGL 3.3 as a requirement.
The GeForce GT 330M for instance (in my laptop) just supports OpenGL 2.1 but is built in the MacBook Pro from 2010 – so it’s a bit confusing. The »minimum« card NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT also has OpenGL 2.1 – does that mean that OpenGL 2.1 will be enough?

    July 7th, 2012 @ 2:50 pm

    Both the GT 330M and the 8880 GT support OpenGL 3.3, the confusion comes from the fact that OSX reports the OpenGL version as 2.1, and not what the card really supports.

    Rene
    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:06 pm

    Dear Sérgio, thanks for the reply. But even on the Geforce-Website it states OpenGL 2.1 for the mentioned cards (http://goo.gl/M0p0o) in the specification section.

    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:29 pm

    Unfortunately their website is not accurate. I’m guessing the 2.1 version was the supported version when the card was launched, although with driver updates they now support 3.3.

    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:31 pm

    Here’s the first drivers where 3.3 is supported: http://goo.gl/9RhgN
    As you can see on the bottom it says:
    “Supports OpenGL 3.3 for GeForce 8-series and later GPUs.”
    So fear not, your card is supported :)

    Rene
    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:39 pm

    That’s what I thought, too. I would appreciate if you answered my last question as well: In System Profiler Mac OS 10.6.8 shows OpenGL version 2.1 for the card. Do I have to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion to get the higher version that is supported by the latest Mac OS or will it work fine with 10.6.8?

    Thanks for taking the time to reply!

    July 7th, 2012 @ 3:46 pm

    It’ll work fine with 10.6.8!

I wanna make a coin with two different sides and make it flip into the air…can I do a 3D toss with Element 3D ? Maybe add random value to it falls different everytime?

    Kwartjuh
    July 7th, 2012 @ 4:16 pm

    Element doesnt do any real physics simulation (as far as we know right now). So, actually making it interact with a floor automaticly will not work. Making it spin is possibly, and you can do the fall animation by hand.

    hi there, i made this effect without use of element, just by multiple layer extrusion
    check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2sM3TSc5Vo also use bump maps to enhance the texture

Tater_tot
July 7th, 2012 @ 4:36 pm

Can you explain the difference.

$150: (For the price, these are insane cards)
NVidia GeForce GTX 560
AMD Radeon HD 6870

$300: (This is similar to performance of my machine a 580)
NVidia GeForce GTX 570
AMD Radeon HD 7870

$450+:
NVidia GeForce GTX 680
AMD Radeon HD 7970

I mean I Don’t mind spending $450+ but how does it compere to the $150? What am saying is. Is it worth the extra $?

Was the bike image created inside ELEMENT 3D .. using also optical flares ?

    Draken
    July 7th, 2012 @ 6:29 pm

    pretty sure the Bike was created inside either of 3DS Max or Cinema4D… you CAN’T create 3D object in Element 3D just import them using OBJ, or native C4D file (C4D non-animated one)

Hugo Strange
July 7th, 2012 @ 5:59 pm

Hey ! has anyone clicked on the bike image above ? Try it out if you haven’t. it’ll only take 1.1 seconds :-)

    July 7th, 2012 @ 9:48 pm

    Yes, Blue Ninja. This capability was demonstration in the last demo video and will be a time saver to be able to re-color or re-teuxture an obj’s material zone without re-rendering in a 3D app!

I know you stated it does not require CUDA open GL, was wondering if you tested a CUDA card, if so, does it enhance performance?

Earlack
July 7th, 2012 @ 11:53 pm

Awesome as always, but… The only question that wasn’t answered yet is multi-GPU support… I have a 5970 which is a dual GPU card, and I’d love it if Element could use all that power. Altough it would probably still be fast on a single GPU.

Jack Baker
July 7th, 2012 @ 11:57 pm

Hi Gang,

I upgraded my 2010 mac pro with a new Other World Computing Accelsior SSD PCI slot hard drive as my operating system drive, adding a NVIDIA Quadro 4000 card and bumped up to 64 gigabyte of RAM and my system screams like I’ve never experienced before. Just the Accelsior amazed me every day when I started working with it. I had a :30 spot that was very intensive in AE that took a 50 minute render. I did all of this before my upgrade from CS5 to the CS6 master collection. With the new upgrades I rendered the same spot one week later in 7 minutes. It’s the first set of upgrades I’ve done where I’m even surprised at the speeds. Boot time is nothing, Photoshop, AE, Bridge, Final Cut, etc… are all crazy fast.

I can’t wait to put this new tool into my arsenal and have fun with my new toys!

July 8th, 2012 @ 12:59 am

andrew what about this card?
GeForce GT 520
it only 64 bit

    July 8th, 2012 @ 5:58 am

    It’s supported, but the performance will be reduced.

D Faraway
July 8th, 2012 @ 4:36 am

As far as I know Mac OS 10.7.4 is still capped at OpenGL 3.2 support.

So the tired old macpro and its crappy cards don’t seem to meet the minimum spec of OpenGL 3.3

Will Element even run on a mac with 3.2 ?

Could be another nail in the macpro coffin

    July 8th, 2012 @ 8:44 am

    OS X doesn’t directly support OpenGL 3.3, but the cards (depending on the card of course) do support it, so through sheer magic we are able to tap into those 3.3 features, even with OS X not supporting it directly.
    Long story short, it’s about the card itself, not the OS.
    There’s a fair few good cards for the Mac Pro’s that will run Element really well.

    D Faraway
    July 8th, 2012 @ 12:07 pm

    Thanks for the reply Sergio,
    Thats great news Element bypasses the OS X OpenGL 3.2 limit and works with the macros ancient choice of cards – Shame AE CS6 can’t do the same unless you fork out $2k on the Quadro 4000 which is a joke

AaronProduction
July 8th, 2012 @ 4:46 am

That 250cc ninja model may not be the best ilustrational pic for element 3d… i would personaly imagine 1000cc Superbike there… i am definitely buying everything related to element… i don´t think that i would be able to make a decent living out of video production without Video Copilot so quickly… You mr. Adrew Kramer are life changer and now a game changer as well..Bravo

Hey Sergio, I’m on a year old mac pro with an ATI HD5770 card, and I really don’t want to update past 10.6.7…so I’m wondering if you think I’ll be ok driver wise. From what I can find online (not much), I think 10.6.7 has the latest drivers for the 5770(EFI DRIVER VERSION 01.00.436). Fingers crossed…thanks in advance…(truly amazing plug-in you guys have created…congrats on the Element revolution)

Samuel
July 8th, 2012 @ 12:55 pm

Hey Andrew love all you do man, your tutorials, blogs etc. are what got me started into “motion design”.

Just a quick question regarding the new Macbook Pro’s (the one’s with the fancy retina display’s” will element’s interface support the new screen? I know Adobe has to update their software to support the new screen space still, but will the images in elements interface be scaled up for the new MacBooks? (I’m not talking about any code work just any images you have made and inputed into the interface)

Just want to see element looking as sexy as possible ;) .

Thanks!

I think next plugin will be something like “MAKE STUNNING ANIMATION” and it will have one button, and a couple of checkboxes )))) Great work, I’m really impressed and my wallet is wide opened!

But!
Is OpenGL 3.3 is the ‘must have’ minimum?

I’ve got ATI RADEON HD 5770, it meets DirectX and Shader model specs, but only 3.2 for Open GL.
And it is inside mac pro, running 10.7.4 as well.

It will help many of us if you would kindly share what you chose to use to create this great plugin. And maybe you could share some of the reasons behind your hardware choices.
Things like CPU, Chipset, MB, Clock speeds, Ram, SSDs?, and of course you GPU.

Please and Thanks!

If a card is better does that mean that the graphics will always look nicer, better cards = better looking element 3d??

I am using intel 3000 with latest drivers and the spec is OpenCL, shader 4.0, directx 11.0. Before I purchase, because there is no trial, will this work with this card. Thanks

PS. Many thanks for excellent piece of software.

What about the new gtx 780 and 770.. Or even the titan? Will this enhance the rendering speeds or are they just overkill?
