Very nice!
I’ll be glad to buy this tomorrow!
i buy yessssssssssssssssss
WoW, amazing. I cant wait to download this! I think they must be at least 2 gb! It will be awesome, Thanks for sharing these for free. I’ll share links with you guys for sure.
First
I’m looking every hour at this page in order to find out, whether something new has been postet.
Successfull
can’t wait for tommorow
24 hrs to go and this will be mine!!!!!!!! or is it going to good to buy at midnight tonight??? huh huh huh :0)
Element 3D will be available on 11 July 2012
xD
Where can i find this amazing helicopter model? Why didnt u put this one in one of your 3D-model-bundles?
What an amazing plug-in…
i know i hope he releases a vehicle set too! that helicopter rocks!
you can find a VERY similar FREE model on turbosquid, just click here http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/uh-60-blackhawk-max-free/624253
very superb andrew sir
OMG, it’s gonna be awesome!!
Yeah me too i can’t stop checking VC.
Roll on tomorrow>>>>>>
hey, hope all goes well with the launch, amazing product and awesome idea using real time editing speed of game engines and fused it with the power of after effects. this opens up the editing world to new software and more creativity.
ps a slight correection its “one” instead of “sone” lol damn typos
have a great day tomorrow guys.
LOL! You spelled correction wrong.
Definitely getting the whole package to safe those $350.
I know I’m gonna get them all anyway if I purchase it partially.
So it’s a good deal!
what time does it become available on the 10th? Im not in America so I’d like to figure out when it will be available to me so I can download asap
Haha too awesome. I’m totally gonna make a skyrim video now where you cheat and duplicate hundreds of an item and they explode out of a single item as shown at the 4 minute mark. The hard part will be hand animating the ground collisions due to the lack of gravity simulation, but hey! Shouldn’t be too hard haha!
Hey AK please I can`t watch the video in Vimeo and YouTube… JW Player Please!!!
Words can not describe how amazing this plugin is, this is more than just a plugin this will change how we see motion graphics from now on
Totally agreed. There will be no more old 3D-tricks using 2D-stuff in AE.. Gosh.. Andrew is going to be a millionaire – I’m sure
Congratulations in advance, Andrew!
cant wait for this!!
cant wait to try it out
Will be an amazing day tomorrow!
THHATS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!
Can I Importing a animated objects to the After effects with element 3d ?
No,Andrew told us before that we can not import animations but we can animate the object inside Element
He told it about 20 times!!!
The emotional stress of releasing something as huge as this is probably killing the VC team
Wow Another New Era OF After Effect………Why don’t u made A nice Software For Composition …… I know U can do this Mr. Krammer…..
You sir have just violated my mind. This new video is bending my mind, makng me rethink everything and come to terms with it.
Truly mind blowing
H O L Y S H * T ! ! ! ! ! !
Couldn’t stop smiling while watching the new demo!
This is soooo great.
Can’t wait to use it in my productions.
Thanks Andrew and team!
Can you also make bundles with optical flares and element and so on?
Christiaan
after this video i change my pants
Simply amazing!!
Quick question!
Can you use the animation engine between more than 2 groups? So let’s say that we morph from group 1 to group 2, but now we want to take it further and go to group 3. Is this possible?
All the best!
O M G ! ! !
I still can’t believe it!!!
JUST
AWESOME!!! :OOO
Mind Officially Blown.
Middle of the day – how does that compare to Greenwich Mean Time?
)
(Question of the whole rest of the world I think…
Thanks!
This is frickin’ amazing!!!:D
There is no more to say than TOTALLY breath taking!!!! The possibilities this brings us are going to be amazing and whats more, its going to step up the WHOLE game of the industry! Stevie Wonder could do good looking effects with this product:0)
So looking forward to getting my hands on it :0)
goo.gl/kkw0T Andrew At his best
*dies of excitement seizure*
The most beautiful news ever!
Wow you just revolutionized vfx/motion gfx. Pretty big deal. BTW Im looking to spend hundreds of dollars on making a crappy looking city; were can I find such thing?
You can find “city” or building models almost anywhere on the net. Turbosquid.com comes to mind. (BTW, once you’ve seen the prices on Turbosquid and others, you’ll appreciate VCP model packs as being a real bargain!)
Have you looked into the City Kit from greyscalegorilla? http://greyscalegorilla.com/blog/store/citykit/?utm_Source=CityKit&utm_image=RotatingCube
AMAZING!!
changed the history of cg without a doubt!
incredible! I am amazed … Finally, a coherent integration 3d in after effects …
and the price …
Congratulations to everyone who made ​​it and think this plugin
thanks Andew
what time gmt plug in will be available on sale?
Very exciting! This would be THE Plug-Ins of the Plug-Ins! Hope to get the money together soon!
Hey,
really great Demo! But nothing about Typo effects as you say in the video
But hey, we know its in there! Must be the best PlugIn for After Effects
See you tomorrow!
BR
Oh my god I cannot wait. And it comes out on my birthday!!
I just wanna make jets!!!
(MINDBLOWING!) Is there an easy way to fake shadows onto other non-element layers?
Good question. I’d like to know if this is possible as well?
Should be able to just use a light, on element turn off accept lights, and on the other layer, turn on accept shadows
very very clever and practical you did guys a great job actually does it cast shadows like particular particles at least ?? shadows on each other?
WOW! Mind officially blown! I can already see the writing on the wall with this one.
Can’t wait !!! This is a crazy weapon for creation !!!
Hello Andrew and crew!! i love your tutorials and… all of your products and the web page too, i live in Uruguay i dont know if you know this country bau is very nice here, (im sorry if i have errors in my grammar but here speak spanish), i have a question can i buy the products and you send for my country? i never buy anything by internet and i want this plugin is AWESOME
PD: thanks a lot for yuor tutorials, i learn to use AE here!!
sorry i want to write PS, here in uruguay is PD
The animation engine is brilliant. Can I interpolate between to custom objects, or is it just the inbuilt objects?
I just thinking about this plugin 3 years ago since i use Trapcode Particular..but this year all particles are Elements in Real 3D engine!!..but hey..Andrew Kramer!! you are AWESOME!!! The Revolution of Video Copilot!!
please come to Malaysia to launch this demo & workshop!!
Pretty sure this video made everyone’s jaw drop. Congrats on this baby and your newborn.
Yes!
Dude, love your site and the premise. I’d love to see what you’re going to do with this new plug-in.
This is really awesome, and i have to thank Andrew and the rest of Videocopilot for all the amazing stuff that you guys always do, thanks really appreciate it.
Seeing this example video makes a single tear come out of one eye.
And another tear comes out of the other eye when I realize I will be $495.50 poorer tomorrow…
OMG! Andrew I long so much for tomorrow when I will buy Element 3D!! and one more thing you’re my biggest fan!!!
Wow! Amazing work Andrew, thanks for this awesome plugin
WOW! Congratulations Andrew, this is going to change the industry! It was well worth the wait! I’m sure you and your team are exhausted — you all deserve a big vacation! I can’t thank you enough for creating this. I can’t wait to buy it!
wow i wasn’t expecting this…you guys made an awesome walk-around to save all of us time in 3d software for most cases. thumbs up man! FAST, SMOOTH, SEXY and EASY way to animate 3d and instantly compose with that.
I’m excited!!!
THX AK
Andrew, I will make a website where I will advertise all Your Products!!
nothing to say, amazing, fascinating, wonderful. congratulation Mr.Kramer and your team!
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
This might bem a revolutionary plugin for all of us motion graphic designers.
Right, so 48hrs ago I’d justified spending 150 bucks on this amazing software.
24 hrs later I’d seen the Pro Design Bundle so then managed to justify spending 250 bucks (it’s saving me money right?) Now, I’m checking my CC balance to see if 500 bucks is do’able!
I may not eat this month but I’ll be smiling from ear to ear experimenting with all this stuff…
God damn you Kramer [shakes fist]… But I still love you and your team.
AMEN!! Although the $250 bundle is my limit for now haha
Wow! I am super excited! I was a little apprehensive as a 3D animator, this makes it look like anyone can do what it took me time to learn. But I love it because it makes my job much easier and faster. This is a great program!
I would like to know does the animation engine work with audio wavelengths? Can the 3D particles react to music, or will this require an expression?
Ah, don’t be afraid about that. Regular 3D animation and modelling is far from replaced with this plugin. There are so many things that this plugin does not do that regular 3D programs are still very valuable.
Thats not to say that this plugin is just awesome!
This plugin is awesome!
At least you would still need a 3d program to make your models
Holy.. You’ve just.. Oh my God!
Fascinating, awesome, amazing and SUPER FAST! can’t wait till tomorrow, checking the site every minute it seems like to see if there are any updates! You guys have done such a great job I can’t say enough, just plain AWESOME! Thanks so much…
Okay well I still can’t say enough, but I can say one more thing; IMPRESSIVE! But seriously, you guys really did a fantastic job.
Can you make a tornado using this ? or some kind of tornado looking rotation of object?
Can you animate characters with the plug in or do they have to be pre animated?
Hi Andrew
Watched your demo video and I must say you have really got something superb here with Element 3D. I think it is going to make an awful lot of people very happy indeed. Well done to you and your team on creating what will be a must have product.
will this plug-in be able to create a chain link that can be animated?
I can’t stop checking VCP…
Superb work Andrew, just brilliant
You and your team have really outdone yourselves this time AK. I keep wondering if you guys will ever run out of ideas, LOL! I like the whole branching into the 3D model stuff too. This is a great plugin for those that want to start getting into 3D more…like myself. Great work!
Going to love this plug-in. Are you able to map quicktimes or comps to the 3D objects or sometime in the future?
Absolutely incredible stuff Andrew! You are the man!
Also, I have a quick question about the additional 3d model packs – will we be able to see a list of all the models included before we purchase?
Thanks!
Man, I hope you know that you’re promoting a revolution in CG world, that is awesome, I’m having brainboners since the first video.
I’m really expecting this plugin, and I’m curious about one thing:
How UVW cordinates are contained in .obj files? How does the plugin manages them??
Will you cover Mapping in an tutorial?
Oh my …..
1) mind – blown => done
2) jaw – dropped => done
3) day – made => done
CONGRATULATIONS Andrew and VC team!! This is revolutionary!
I’ll be buying for sure, I want the whole bundle. So I may have to wait a week or so but it will happen. Great work Andrew and crew.
Plugin looks amazing, price is amazing.
Respect for the video copilot team!
Mr. Kramer, you’re going to make a lot of money off this!
Buy for sure!
Simply amazing, I am in line (by that I mean glued to my computer) for tomorrow! Can’t wait. Keep up the GREAT work, I love your products.
You are going to be a rich man, Andrew.
And I can’t think of one single man who deserve it more then you!
If you were a doctor, you would have cured cancer!
Amazing job! Thanks!
Hi Andrew,
First I want to say that this plugin is awesome! Very good job!
I was wondering if there is a possibility to render real time shadows and self shadowing on models?
Wow! Awesome possibilities.
ONE ULTIMATE QUESTION :
What time will the plugin be available tomorrow?
Ugh, middle of the day..? what time zone… lol My wallet is open.. *wink*
Hey Andrew, You are making a history and you guys are bringing this industry moving 1 HUGE step forward!
Hi, Andrew.
Can you use the animation engine of Element to create liquefied animated effects?
I look forward to hearing from you. Great work
Andrew,
You should create your own app from the ground up. Your dream vfx/motion graphics/real time 3d/composting etc….. everything you ever wanted in a app.
Looks sweet! Quick question… I notice the layer that you’ve got the Element plug in added to isn’t 3D, but the layer/models still seem to interact with the comp camera. Using helicopters as an example, is it possible to use 3D Camera Tracker to track your footage, create a 3D scene and then have your helicopter model in that scene? If that makes sense?!
You are Andrew, and You are God !!!
That will change our future… the best plugin I’ve seen in ae……
What exactly do you mean when you say “All feature videos will be online tomorrow with in-depth plug-in info”? Does this mean that the product tuts that you typically get the VC programs will be accessible to all or do the tutorials get packaged with the program? (I’m assuming feature videos are Element tutorials).
I’ve been waiting a long time for this. You guys really knocked it out of the park.
…never mind. I watched the video again and you answered my question near the end.
I just can’t wait … is it DOWNLOADABLE ? .. I hope so
)
Yes , it’s just available for download .
Better than I expected! Bravo! Will purchase just after the 10th when the servers cool off!
damn this is so amazing i really hope you get loaded with gold – you have definitely deserved it, counting all the years of free quality tuts – telling my boss we need this for shure – can you make a video where you demo it in action with letters just to cap the excitement, im pretty shure it will handle sub object letters perfect
yippie!!!! cant wait
Excellent work to the entire VC team. Our wallets salute you.
I`m blown away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Speechless! Still not believe we can do these things, inside the After Effects using Element 3D! Andrew, you are the God!
waiting waiting waiting!! [23 hours later] is it released ?
:D
no u have to wait one more !!
Hi Andrew, what your next PLAN for your NEXT product ?
Is it possible that the speed of the falling particles is increasing quadratic?
I’m sure you can do that using some expressions on the Y-position.
Is there an easy way to do a shadow on the ground in Element?
Andrew, This is AMAZING!! I can’t believe how far this plugin pushes! All the things i’ve wanted to do compositing 3d has been insanely hard not coming from a 3d background. I know enough to make this plugin everything I’ve ever wanted! You and your team amaze me dude! This is going to change the game forever!
太棒了，这个应该是有å²ä»¥æ¥æœ€å¼ºçš„æ’件了å§~ï¼
translated:
“Great, this should be the best plugin ever!”
lOl.. Thanks for the translation
Oh, too, can you recommend any 3d modeling site that would work well with this plugin? Like one that sells models?
very nice !!! good fun to come !!!
AE was already intoxicating stuff, but now it taste just like strong weed !!
; )
This looks amazing! I’m still a little dissapointed in not having the ability to play with OBJ sequences though. Realflow meshes would have been killer to render in Element. I’m curious to what degree a performance hit you would expect from such a feature? As it is, Element works pretty much real-time. I would gladly take a 20x render time increase if it meant the extra flexibility.
Hi Andrew!
I want to purchase this plugin but I am having a little trouble pinpointing all the advantages I will have using this plugin as a 3D artist using cinema 4D.
Could you please briefly list them for all of us 3D artist?
Thank you!
Amazing job!
I was also thinking about… 3D users since sometimes now import easily from C4D OBJ. and sequence inside AE, etc.
But the price is low, so it could be useful and fun to have on specific work and simple animation, with fast and smooth render time.
speed is the biggest one. render times on some scenes in c4d can get pretty wild. with this seconds (of course not with the same quality but pretty good)
HOW LOOOOOOONGGGGGGGGG?????
Anyone set a countdown timer or something like that…
amazing! =) fair price for such powerful plugin to save time and
make some creative vfx work ! Cant wait till tomorrow! =)
GTX 580 3GB arrives today,
…. I think I’ll just be happy I get more time with my family 
.
Element arrives tomorrow,
The world of motion graphics is being revolutionized by you andrew, I’m not sure if I should thank you or get mad at you because some of the stuff I would spend lots of time on and be special with, is not so special anymore
Are there going to be any packs of models for those that buy the $249 bundle now and want to buy the rest later? Maybe at like $70/bundle or a total of $350?
THANK YOU!!!
I was also wondering the same thing in regards to a discounted bundle if we only purchase the $249 bundle tomorrow. I actually just want Elements, PRO Shaders and the Projectiles pack.. Is there any way to create our own custom bundles? ie: Elements & PRO Shaders + for $249? I know this would be the deciding factor for me.
oops, didnt realize comments probably dont read plain text. I meant to say:
ie: Elements & PRO Shaders + pick_your_pack for $249?
Yes, I second these ideas! Element + Pro Shaders + Pick your Pack for $249.
Awesome! Andrew, i always love the pictures of your products you use in the blog, such as these element ad. And i was wondering; do you create these in AE or another program like PS or illustrator?
Thanks!
Please tell me there will be a spaceship pack coming next!!
oh quistion please ?
ARE YOU CRAZY !!!!
Take my MONY !
Hello Andrew, great plugin, I think it is a gamechanger! However, I watched this animating with Element 3D video and I want to ask if is it possible to set Polygon mode for each group? It would be nice to easily animate from one group in normal mode to second group in wireframe… If there is not this option at this time, take it as a feature request please. BTW: Really amazing plugin, great job!
hey i just like ask adobe,,, what u think about this??? hehehe
hey Andrew, I got 2 questions:
1 – So, what happens if I have 2 different objects in each group and keyframe the Animation Engine? Will it Morph one into another???
2 – Can I link objects to Nulls and do some shenanigans with the Newton plugin??
(The amount of “yes” in your answer will be the amount of billions of dollars in your account this week.)
Great demonstration! After seeing the animation sneak-peak it got me thinking about a few of your more complex tutorials. How you would compare the work flow and complexity to your new plug-in if you were to recreate tutorials such as “109. Advanced Time Freeze†or “122. Epic Shatter� These tutorials have great multifaceted detail, generally created using a 3D program. Does Element 3D cover this type of detail?
excuse me andrew but the gun shoot in slow motion in your video was fake because you have smoke from fumefx so its not made in element3d but in 3dsmax ! :/ but after this element was amazing !
I am pretty amazed at how much you have packed into this plugin! The Helicoper looked awesome!
This is tooooo much! Pleasure overload!!!
I think that Andrew and VC team are some kind of space aliens because this is just not possible but here it is… so strange
BRAVO!
I do most of my work on a MacBook Pro (2011 model) and the ray traced 3D renderer in CS6 is so slow that I try not to use it much. Will Element also require a desktop with a Cuda enabled GPU to be useful?
I know my MacBook will always be slower than a desktop option but how well will Element perform on it?
Andrew YOU ARE A LIVING LEGEND!
Wow! Amezing! Never seen anything like this! Best VFX now!
Awesome:) I m big Fan of……….yours….:) Excellent work to the entire VC team not only u but i salute you Krammer………….
Absolutely incredible.
After each Mini-Tutorial I thought “okay, that’s great and he can’t top this”. And every time I’m very much mistaken.
Beautiful Plugin.
You are about to make a LOT of money…
This is insane!!!!
Best of luck in its commercial life Andrew!
I can think of nothing better to do tomorrow than lose myself in this plug-in. I just wish I had the extra money to get all the packs, but I’ll have to wait on those.
Before I get lost in the funness to come tomorrow let me thank you all at VC for putting this together. I’m sure it was a real challenge but your hard work paid off. It’s brilliant. I can’t wait to see what folks create with this! <3
Alarms will go off tomorrow at the Dept. of Homeland Security as huge amounts of cash get transferred into AK’s bank account. Drug cartel money laundering? Nope – VC Element got released today.
1Q:
Is it possible to have an automated alpha channel of only one part /material of 3d object?
Or we should do it manually, like take it solo in white and then put in front everything else in black.
That would be very useful for faster changing colors and adding some special effects to it (like rays and shining)
I’m buying Element 3D for sure tomorrow!!!!
Being a CG artist and compositor, this is the best thing I’ve seen for AE.
I have been following you since you started Andrew, you are an amazing artist and business man!
Don’t stop! Rock and roll!
HOW?!?!?! JUST HOW!?!?!?
can’t really believe how good this looks..
Looks just perfect!
Andrew, one question:
Are you going to add bone animation? Element 3D engine would fit perfectly to create 3d animated cartoons.
Have you done anything to try to emulate liquid animating?
The 3D market is about to change.
Suggestion: I think it would be a great marketing tool to include VC gear in the bundle. Yeah, I’d like a t-shirt via digital download.
Truely amazing, really
This baby is so feature-packed that it will be fun to discover all the features! Congrats, Andrew. This is a big hit!
One question however and I think there was no hint of a feature so far that I would really love to see… So here it comes:
Is it possible to animate the MATERIAL’S TEXTURES by using frames from other After Effects layers? This would be very cool for all sorts of effects, including cartoon style animations with different eye and mouth shape textures
So is this feasible?
I am also curious about this. Or can you edit a material’s options and settings?
it’s funny how pathetic the 3D text feature in CS6 is compared to this
Can you still distort objects like you showed in the very first Element preview video like 1 year ago?
This is soooo awesome! There are incredible possibilities with this plug-in! I hope to turn this into stereoscopic 3D.
This is amazing. Seriously though, if you could give us some amazing ideas in how to use this with text… we could rule the tri-state area!
Hi Andrew
Very cool , it’s very AMAZING !!!
Jaw dropping. Great job developing this ‘plug-in’ gang. Can’t wait until tomorrow to start doing my own stuff.
I know it will pay for itself within a month. Clients are going to love this stuff
It’s so dang fast.
Regardless of all of the other amazing things it can do, it’s the speed it can do it. Those exploding balls (youch!) are just incredible to look at being developed and rendered.
‘Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic’
Mind = Blown. Seriously Andrew this is one of the most revolutionary things I’ve seen in years.
Congratulations Mr Kramer and all the Video Copilot team! This is going to change my workflow completely and I cannot wait to get started!
Can you customize the environment background image and use your own, or do you have to use the included presets? For example could I replace the background environment with a star pattern so that models are floating or moving through outer space?
Just to clarify, can the 3D objects from the 3D pack be imported in C4D also?
Yes. They can be used with any 3d application.
So much for Transform.
Can you animate text like a “per-character 3d” option would do. What I mean is, could you have each character of a word with nice 3D bevel and extrusion rotating on at a random speed or something like that.
When the world wakes up tomorrow morning, their world will be forever changed, After Effects will never be the same. Some will take this program and make grate things, others will just fallow the tutorials and never improve. BUT! It will shake the world of graphics forever.
Long live VC! Long live the After Effects!
I can wait for the sun to rise!
I can’t tell you guys enough how great your tools are. I will definitely be purchasing tomorrow.
Countdown with me peeps.
3…2…1…
Can’t wait for this plugin! There is so many possibilities anyone can create with this easy and amazing plugin.
Will this be released at 12 or midday tomorrow?
Ohhh cant wait to return from my vacation to buy it. I have to wait 3 dass Linzer than everyone else. Life is unfair
Sir Andrew,
buy the Adobe After Effects application!
call it “Andrew Effects VCP 7″
The world is yours!!!
Great release cant wait to order it! is there any waiting time or are orders going to dispatched same day?
Eyes & mind – blowed out.
Seriously, this is revolution.
I’m Dying to here Hey what’s up Andrew Kramer here.
How does precomposing work? Will i still have access to the 3d when i collapse transitions? You know the little sun button
?? Im buying this, but we neeeed more info, and tons and tons of your gifted guidance. Thanks for replying
sweet .. I guess some of us could stop worrying about 10 year old kids,flooding the web with cheap ELEMENT 3D stuff….. this is pretty involved to make use of it.You’ll need to be very creative !!!! very,very creative to stand out using this… Great Job Video copilot.
Andrew,
I realize there are tons of questions here. Fantastic tutorials and I have just one question. I didn’t notice in your tutorial any mention of deformation capability. Can you deform, such as bend or twist on the objects?
Thanks, Eric Kirk Productions
Right now, there are no deform options, only static options. There are a few reasons for this but it is doable just not in the time we had to do everything else.
So can we expect an update for that somewhere in the future? Not that Element isn’t amazing already…just curious
Andrew,
Thanks for the quick response. Understand the time constraints and appreciate all the great work. Looking forward to tomorrow!
Eric
Kirk Productions
How does precomposing work? Will i still have access to the 3d when i collapse transitions? You know the little sun button
?? Im buying this, but we neeeed more info, and tons and tons of your gifted guidance. Thanks for replying
Element does not retain 3D space when pre-composed. This is typical with 3D-aware plug-ins in After Effects.
You can actually link the camera inside the precomp to the camera inside the main comp, and after that just lock it. It’s basic expressions, nothing 2 fancy, just pick-whip those values.
What about if you turn on the collapse transformations switch. Would it work then??
Really really really freaking amazing. You guys are making me a thief tomorrow for buying this at only a 150 bucks.
This might have been answered before, but Is there a polygon limit to the 3D-models it can handle? Or does it depend on how much of a beast your PC is?
I thought he mentioned, that the texture size and polygon count is limited by the mightyness of your GPU.
Awesome. I guess I missed that. Thanks!
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better.. Oh, I never thought that
in 30 min. its the 10th here! BUt I guess I need to wait like app. 10 hours more….CANT WAIT!!!
Out-of-body experience:
.
My CyberPower Zeus, 3930K OC’d beast is due to be delivered tomorrow, 10 Jul. My CS6 Production Premium box is due tomorrow. I’ll be having a “bundle” of 3D fun with this plug-in tomorrow!
Hay Andrew I From Baku. Just No words
Hey there Andrew,
a bunch of my best friends and my self were watching this tutorials and we discussing the part of the helocoptor with the propellor. We were trying to figure out how the AE motion blur works with the 3D elements. Didn’t know if thats something you could discuss or not?
Thanks it looks awesome
This looks so great. I have my credit card ready. One question though, when you make 1 object “morph” into the other, does it need to be the same object? Or can it be 2 different objects and it somehow interpolates between them? What if they have the same poly count?
Thanks!
They need to be the same object. But it will work with separate objects but they do not morph they only “Cross-Scale” into each.
Andrew,
please try to give me some answer to this question:
I had this crazy idea, because you’ve started it all
Is it possible to develop out of ELEMENT 3D’s render engine a new 3DS MAX render engine?
That would be something I was waiting for years! I was always confused with this fact that After Effect’s render engine was so much faster then any other 3DS MAX render engine and it looked better then scanline. So now we have a very very good looking Element 3D and it’s TURBO FAST
so is there a chance for this crazy idea… at least 1:1000000 
Could you please try to answer me at least in theory?
Thanks a lot for doing everything that you do!
hey andrew, I would buy one of this right now! I need it to run in two pcs at the same time. do we need to buy two different licenses to do this? or its there any fixed amount of pcs per Element copy?
thanks!
Hey,
Can you set up/add a “System Time” gadget or something like that on top of every page so that it is easier to find out the time for your place?
Will it be possible to create multiple instances of Element and have them combine/integrate with each other in a way?
Do Optical Flares and Element interact?
Incredible. Element will do for motion designers what the Canon 5D did for filmmakers.
I’m sure that this plugin will remain used for years !
Hey Andrew, does it also have Subsurface Scattering Shader? If not, are you guys going to add stuff like that to this remarkable plugin ,in the future? And what are your plans – any updates?
I’m not sure you can obtain SSS without ray-tracing, but taking a moment and thinking about it, it might actually be possible (at least a fake one). BUT, do you really need SSS??! Can’t you really just fake something for the sake of motion-graphics?
O.M.G…!!! Excelent, Mr Kramer…
This is a game changer!! Andrew and team, bravo, simply bravo!
Hello and thanks for these wonderful tutorials, one quick question though… How many gigabytes is this going to be…??? (saying we bought all of the products?)
Simply amazing. Amazingly simple. Jaw on the floor through most of that. You’ve just created a category.
Andrew,is possible to make organic animations (liquids) in ELEMENT 3D?
When you say “will be on sale midday” do you mean midday for PST or for all?
I was beginning to wonder if this was ever going to show up. Now I know why the wait was worth it! You blew me away with Optical Flares. I don’t even know what to say about this – it’s genius!!!
Great Stuff VC!!!!!
Will the downloads come with tutorials
like your other products?
Get some rest!
If I export a 3d model from C4D into elements, It conserve the materials as well?
Does one of the packs have a Camera obj? Film or Digital I don’t mind.
Camera obj. is very easy to find on the web as free ressource for download… TurboSquid for exemple get some, and many other sites.
I bet the next VC 3d objects pack will be about vehicles….
True, and tech stuff like iPads, TVs, computers etc..
Hey nice plugin! Looks great, but i have one question. Does it interact with other 3D plugins? AKA can i use the shatter effect and still have the full 3D model?
Hey andrew, this is so amazing.
I know you only scratched the surface of the capabilities of this plugin, but I have just 1 question,
Can you do a masking effect on the models? similar to how you can Boole an object in a 3d program to effectively mask it. Im just thinking of things like flourishes, with 3d objects!
again, great work.
Andrew, you just bring in a whole new different ball-game into After Effect, you are one insane fella (it is a compliment). The wait is worth it, the wait is definitely worth it…
The wait is worth it, the wait is definitely worth it. Andrew, you just bring in a whole new ball-game into After Effect… again…
Can’t wait to get my hands on this! And the packs looks so cool! Any chance you guys will make a pack for vehicles? Like that helicopter? Or planes, cars, etc? I guess those could be some pretty time-consuming models…
Hey Andrew, I’m sure you plan on introducing Additional 3D packs in the future, any chance if we commit to buying your complete Element 3D bundle ($495.50) we can plan to purchase future packs at the bundle discount rate ($50/pack)?
Thanks to you and your team all the work and information you all share with us.
this is so sick i can`t even wait to get my hands on it, andrew you did it AGAIN
Andrew,
Looks fantastic. One quick question: Will you have a list of the objects that come in each model package? I know this might sound basic (as the packages look like a great deal) but often times I have to justify purchasing kits like this for work.
Example:
Boss: “Why do you need the package”
ME: “I need a 3D football for client x,y,z”
Boss: “Does it come with a decent 3D football”
Me: “….?”
Thanks for the help, and the fab tutorials!
This is so epic, I wanna cry!
Gosh, this is Awesome! Wow!
Hey Andrew, just a quick question, if I track the scene with the 3d camera tracker (cs6), will the element objects move with the tracked 3d scene? Thanks
Andrew you are the god of design
COUNTING….COUNTING…COUNTING…….. TICK TICK TOCK
I am just making random comments to keep track of the time!!!
TICK…TOCK…TICK…TOCK…….
WHAT ABOUT NOW?????????
oh Andrew by the way … this is not related to ELEMENT 3D but I really think that you should invest in a dehisser, Past couple of videos are rally sharp to the ear with it those SSsss. Yeah I produce Music/videos so I was tuned to those Frequency.
LOL !! hey!! hey!! pay attention…pay attention..funny guy
Andrew, do Element plugin have a shadow catching material? because I saw your demo tutorial and the part where there is a box shattered, and i’m wondering if I could use that with the live action clip and use the shadow catching material with it, just to save time compositing bec. rendering in 3D program takes forever!
see you next time vc
Ideas for more HD Models Packs:
- Assorted
- Wedding
- Religious
- Pre-Fractured Buildings
- Military Vehicles/Weaponry
- Household Items
- Medical and Scientific
- Educational
- Letters and Numbers

I’d like these by Thursday, please.
I am just making random comments to keep track of the time!!!
TICK…TOCK…TICK…TOCK…….
yOU AND ME BOTH KID……will he release after midnight????
Tic Tic Tic Tic Toc?!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_Z66ZRIuL0
WHAT A VIDEO MAN!!!:D
When is he really going to release it, after 11:59:59 seconds
of July 9th or sometime in the morning of July 10???
This patience is killing me…!!!
I can’t wait to buy it.
i tried to tweet you but i never get this twitter thing so i came here.
are these going to be on a dvd cus i realy dont like the download option.
always have to update and restore my machine so i hate to lose activation and logging. let me know cuz if i can get the whole bunddle on dvds then am ready to order tomorrow. good job man and i love the whole concept.
somone mentioned andrew as God father of AE… I am so proud
I could not be more excited about this, it really does change possibilities in a massive way for motion design in an efficient way. I am glad you guys took your time, I am impressed. I feel that this will change things in the same way as Optical Flares influenced the industry, but this is the product we’ve been waiting to see. Great job.
Andrew, I know this may be too late to ask but… does Element have any sort of extrusion capabilities, or is there a way to create 3D text by using the ready-made 3d elements that come with the packs? Like say… masking out shapes in that block of concrete in the forms of letters?
As I was saying in a previous comment, I’ve taken my first 3D baby steps just a few days ago and it would be a real bummer if to make 3D text we’d have to first generate an obj and then import it(rather than just doing it in AE directly). The reason for that being that clients always seem to find something to change to the text…
The plug in so far is amazing, congratulations to you and your team. It’s brilliant.
Text can indeed be extruded. If I remember correctly, masks can as well
This plug-in sucks . ..
my money . . LOL . .
Seriously Andrew, do know how much time this is going to save me. I really could’ve used this 2 months ago. This is opening up so many possiblities and without all the fuss of jumping back and forth between 3d progs and AE. Woohoo excited yes ????????????
That is a massive save!!!! Videocopilot, why are you so awesome?
My cohorts and I have decided that you need to include a dry cleaning gift certificate with the software, because we’re all pooping our drawers.
Looking forward to this….

Wake up Andrew Andrew
Good Morning…
Where is our plugin
Says that it will be mid day tomorrow (assuming that’s based on California Pacific Time).
Right, wake up!!! In germany it’s already 7.24am – can’t wait to download the sh**
wonder the same, is pass midnight and no see nothing yet
Holy ¡!#$%$“. I´ve worked with AE since 2001 and this totally changes the way I see it… I´ll definitely get your product. Congratulations guys!!! keep up the great work
HEY GUYS ANDREW SAYS …That “THEY (Video Copilot) NEED TO SLEEP” like regular people, so plug in will be released Midday…. According to the state/time “he” lives in. So everybody go Home..Come back when the store is opens.
Someone from video Copilot needs to be there(Awake)when download starts in case of Any problems ..I could bet you anything there will be some kinks (Always is with Technology) Good night !
very nice! I have one question that may not be related, how did you do the slow motion muzzle flash? because it looks so realistic, I hope you can make a tutorial for that
Can’t wait till tomorrow make it today..
very nice man. I have one question that may not be related
All I can say is: I’d love to know what bar the VC guys will celebrate their EOD tomorrow.
Might have to send Jack Bauer after them. In Jack’s eyes, something this good could only be a terrorist.
This is a:
Game…Changer.
i am waiting….. countdown begins…
It’s gotta be mid-day somewhere.. release it already.. lol
Call me a total freak, but just letting you know that I checked for the Element release at 12:00 midnight July 10, and it was still not released. Release it dammit.
I think I’m speaking for everyone if I say that this is innovation. Nobody thought about making this possible when watching the presentation of CS6 by Adobe. Thanks VC Team for pushing creativity far beyond. You give the community so much. Go on! Best regards from Germany
it’s 7:10! wheres my product!
NOTE: Products will be on sale in the middle of the day on Tuesday not at midnight. We got to get some sleep too!
So Frnds Got to Get Some Sleep Too!
Then Germany unlucky we have to stay awake until night to buy from you
. Wish the whole team a good night. Sleep well all. 
Super demo, congrats! I have 2 requests/questions related to the texturing of 3D models:
1. Can you outline the features and limitations on the obj format? Does it carry over the sometimes complicated uv-setup from 3dsmax?
2. I’m hoping, that choosing texturemaps from within the scene setup includes an option to use AE layers or comps. Is that possible? If not, I’m sure you’d agree this would be cool feature.
Thanks – kind regards,
Michael
can i precomp it, and time remap it ?
UK…10th July… 09:40hrs….. waiting patiently.
Well Andrew, you have developed an engine that makes 3ds Max’s nitrous look bad in some aspects. This product of yours not only raises the bar to what 3D is in compositing software but also in 3D applications. Maybe its time for the game engines to take over the cinema and television industry, with all that feedback from the open source community. It’s time for a revolution!.
Hello Video Copilot,
When we are going to buy something, we would like to know in advance what it can do. So I honestly think you should talk about the posible shadows, 3d text extrusion, shape extrusion and other posibilities that we have not seen.
What is gone since the demo of june 2011? Deforming and…
Further I would like to know what designs are in the 3d design packs exactly. I am wiling to spend money, but I would like to know what I get in advance.
Hope you can give that info.
THANKS A LOT FOR THE GREAT REVOLUTIONARY WORK! LOVE IT!
Is it possible to use this Plugin also with eyeon Fusion ?
Because Fusion can also import AE Plugins.
This would be great.
Extremely Awesome,Element 3d will charmed AE much more then before.
if no one else ask for the future:
1_A show/hide button, beside each group.
2_I guess if i load a different obj on each group, and hide/show them successively, i can recreate a animated obj.
so multiply the number of group, or add “illimited” Element layers will be interesting.
3_Can apply any transform effet on the Element layer (turbul, mesh warp, etc…)?
4_is it realy impossible to manipulate each object via a munipulator circle/arrow, near the pivot, like in 3d apps?
thanks a lot for your work.
you make the thing move on!
tick tock tick tock tick tock
The first thing I am going to do today is download Elements 3D……
No…wait… The first thing I am going to do today is have sex, then download Elements 3D…no wait, the first thing I am going to do today is….wake up my wife….then have sex……then download Elements 3D!
my day is sorted…………..
Shut up and take my money
Can’t wait anymore…
What is an OBJ file. It that file which is from 3Ds max where you can import your models you made in there
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavefront_.obj_file
Already mentionend in several Postings and Announcements of Element 3D. Google is your Friend.
You can Export OBJ Files from 3D Programs like max or cinema…
Aaaaahhhh I can’t wait any longer!!!!!
For the people who don’t know what OBJ is, I suggest to try and google search the answer. I think Andrew has enough question to answer.
File extension .obj is a 3D object file. Detailed information of file extension .obj on what is .obj File and how to open/play .obj file with no trouble.
Wahooo ! Incredible ! Excellent !
I would like to know if it’s possible to make cool page turns with this plug ?
I am in a company whose principal activity is advertising for musical artists. We also often need to animate boxes of cd and DVD. Can we easily load different coverages on a model of CD or DVD? And is there a model of CD and DVD 3D modeled already? Thank you for the answer. And excuse my English, I am French …
Will it be possible to move the pivot point of the separate models i.e. the rotor of the helicopter, in element or does element use the pivot point assigned in the 3D program?
I haven’t seen any Pivot Options from the videos we were provided, but maybe the built in Anchor Point feature would be the solution. Just using my intuitions however if Element 3D do has the Pivot Point Features, then I’m no longer focusing on any real 3D Package out there, not to mention the potential of how Element 3D versions would grow just in the near future.
And when watching the video I saw that at the gun model there is no anti aliasing going on even on full res. Is there an aliasing switch?
That is awesome, i can’t wait to see it
just want to learn time?
I cant wait Andrew!!!!
One question:
Do you think that if we had a lot of 3d objects imported from the element 3d could they slow down our project and if yes what are the limits of the great speed it has now?????
Entirely depends on your computer specs
Hi,
what are the advantages of Elements before Atomkraft for AE?
And why are you using the Ubuntu logo?
Greetz from Germany…
Hi Andrew
for existing 3D Models (Textures vray) is there any possibility to use them in Elements? Or do i have to convert Textures somehow?
kindest regards
Hey It’s 10 July 2012 where is the plug-in???
xD
Hey It’s 10 July 2012 4:28 PM where is the plug-in??? xD
very very clever and practical you did guys a great job actually does it cast shadows like particular particles at least ?? shadows on each other?
or on any surface or object? precomp can i precomp it? is the gravity theories for this are available primary or secondary motion? HEY GUYS answer me
Could this be combined with a 3d camera tracking such as The Foundry one?
Ok, lets kill some time while we count down the last few hours (it’s 12:30pm here in the UK)…
At the moment (and although I’d love the full bundle) I think i’m going to go with the $250 Pro Design Bundle. What package is everyone going for?
I’m thinking of getting the same. Although I would like to know exactly what the other packs have. They could definitely be useful
just the plug and shaders i think… got enough models of my own from c4d
Im Going for Pro 3D Bundle.. i already have Models from 3dsMax
$ 250 bundel for me too.
Same #pro design bundle. apart from obj does it allow other format? like iwo iws n so on?
$250 bundle for me as well. That’s all I can afford atm haha
I’ll buy the whole bundle. But I’ll wait until the download panic stops first…
Ive convinced my boss to purchase 3 copies!
I wonder if there’s a possibility to make a 3D walk through in Elements, not as good as Vray in max but should be pretty good! I understand that it my not have the actual ray-traced or reflection but fake one already looked awesome in there!
I believe things could enhance or improve in the version 2. for example gravity, or a simple rigging tool to make character animation. sorry I’m nt too greedy am I?
In Germany the Glock says 1.40 PM! Andrew wake up its time for 3-D Element Bundle. The Full one! Yeaaaaah!
I guess its clearly the 10th anywhere on the World….AND I GET CRAZY!
Hi Andrew, appart from notorious wait for element to become available i remembered that you are about to get a SON.
is he born yet ?
Element sales (in billions) will be a good economical foundation for your family.
take care.
I CAN”T WAIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CAN”T SLEEEEEEEEEP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For all those ‘Are we there yet’ people – it’s already been stated that it’s going to be the afternoon PST – in the UK that is sometime during the evening.
You can work out what time that equals to your timezone.
A lot of the other questions have already been answered – e.g. shadows – it has SSAO (Screen Space Ambient Occlusion) but it doesn’t cast shadows on itself, and presumably you’d have to fake it on a surface layer.
As for other questions – I’d presume precomping is OK – don’t know of any situations where you can’t – the gravity is just a fake so I would think that any secondary motion is out – really it focuses on a tight way of doing things and it does it very well.
Precomping
I read from Andrew I think: Premping is possible, only you lose your 3d information. The layer is flat than.
-I suppose –
Ok, I was pretending to be cool but…WHERE IS MY “TOY”?
I’m waiting!
finally we can have this plug-in
Tic Tac I’m waiting, very good buzz, very good plugin, very good all ! tic tac, i become crazy to wait, tic tac… 2:31pm in france so waiting… tic taccccc, and maybe at the very good moment, bug server ! or maybe not… tic tac…
I´ve just got an eyegasm at about 25:45min!
It’s the 10th it’s the 10th it’s the 10th….wakey wakey Andrew, hand off snakey…..
You guys can’t wait!
Andrew It’s 10 July 2012 Where is the Plug-In?
xD hehehe Greeting from M.A.C.E.D.O.N.I.A
Goooooooooooooooooooooodddddd Moooooooooooooooorninnnngggg !!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHA
What the hell…!? The date and time are : July 10th, 2012 @ 5:49 am
….AM???? Here is 14:49 pm not 5:49 am
Jovica, they are in California,…….they are going by that time.
I know Christian
Do you know what time zone is there? -9GMT? or…
There is a thing called time zones…
Yes J I know…
WHO IS YOUR DADDY? ANDREW IS YOUR DADDY!
why not listen to my tracks while we wait for Andrew to wake up? ehh?
www (dot) orhanproject (dot) com
(shameless selfish selfpromotion I know)
Come on guys, just because its the middle of the day where you are doesn’t mean it is for him. I am currently writing this and in California it is 6:05am, he has probably just woken up.
Andrew is from California (I thin so), but where is stream (Exactly)? (Sorry for bad English)
The time in California is the time you see in the comments
I posted at 6:22 am so it is 6:22 in California.
California around lunchtime is around 10pm here in Holland, I know this, it’s only 3:20 pm here ….then why am I refreshing the website every 15 minutes? Cos I am excited! DUH!
Here in Macedonia it is 3:21 pm… right now
It’s the final countdown… Tadada dam …
Credit Card Ready Andrew WAKE UP!!
S
Haha like it!
hehehe
I feel like a kid on Christmas morning waiting for their mom and dad to say we can open our presents.
Yeah, and here is dad saying you have to wait another 6 hours at least… but you can stare at your present…you like the ribbon?
That is pretty much exactly how I feel.. lol
Hi Andrew,
I was wondering: is it possible to assign movies to textures? I know that it influence rendering time but I would really find it useful.
Greetings Arjen
Living in EST sucks!! I want this NOW!!!
I have been stoked for this plugin every day for the past week.. does anybody else find themselves with a VC website tab open at all times to glance over at and hit refresh? ;-P
How long will it take to crash the server I wonder……….
I didn’t go to work. Told the boss I was sick …….. element .
When is it being releases
anyone updated their download password in the last 24 hrs??????? without a NEW password, you aren’t downloading anything :0) lmao!!!
Where is element?! released?
In Italy it’s 16.00 now!!
I would seeeeeeeee XD
I’m gonna be making 1 purchase today. It’s between Element 3D and Mavis Beacon teaches typing, but no see Element 3D…
…So Mavis may be getting my money!!!!!!
Since Element works with .OBJs, would it be possible for it to be used in conjunction with Plexus?
You’ve crated a monster.
I`m F… up its Craziness
I was waiting for it more than 1 year & it`s madness
Greaaaaaaaaaaaat work Andrew
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
LLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG???????????????
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
LLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG???????????????
I can’t wait too!:<
ug… i need it! im getting it as soon as it is released
Send a tweet when it’s ready. I’ll help crash the server.
hey andrew, just thought of this question – will this work with the camera tracker (the one you sell here)?
When This Plugin will be aviable ???? I need THis
it’s now 9:43pm
10,July in Singapore! and it’s not release yet!!
Hopefully they have enough bandwidth and nothing breaks down..
Well as the clock next to these comments says its now around 7.45am you’ll be waiting another 4hours at the earliest.
I cant wait, the time is ever closer. As the sun rises, so the dawn of a new age rises!
Midday in California is 8PM GMT so loads of time to wait yet.
Everyone back into the attic and wait…………
Time to make the donuts…(photoreal donuts with ambient occlusion and global illumination…)
Refresh, refresh, refresh.
(15 minutes later)
Refresh, refresh, refresh.
Repeat…
I’m too still refreshing the site…
MMMMMEEEEEEEE TTTTTOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
This patience is killing me!!!!!
AhhHHHHHHhhhhh…………….the pain of waiting….
Even waiting to go to the lavatory in a supermarket in case of emergency feels more happier…!!!!
can’t wait. looks amazing!
Hey, that transition between the two circles looks like the part in Super Mario Galaxy 2 where you have to hit those stone thingies on to bowser!
Studio Bundle…. getting that right away! This plugin is going to change my workflow and output quality dramatically. Thank you Mr. Kramer and crew.
My thoughts exactly!
What Kramer does is incredible. While software giants cough up new pathetic features for their own apps (i.e. Autodesk), Adobe and Kramer are the ones to watch.
Someday we’ll see Andrew as lead artistic developer on Adobe AE team or some other kind of big shot, ‘couse G~d is my withess he deserves it.
Ok, I’m ready… Where is it?
WE (me, myself and I) would like an .obj sequence option please! I will take a big hit to the GPU speed to have this option! Maybe in V2? PLEASE!!
Thanks for everything you have done for the community VC team, you have changed the game!
patience, wait, I have no patience !!!!
哈哈 ，我这里2012.07.11凌晨了，ç‰äº†å¥½ä¹…å•Š
English !! you f*cking china bastard !
Sir, How much time for Releasing?
Midday (EST or PST)????
OmG… 9 am here is 6 pm … Greeting from Macedonia..
Right…
Here is 6 pm from Poland… Omg.!
Probably it will be tomorrow…
Polska czeka
Andrew’s comment on twitter is stating that Element will release sometime after lunch time PST. Looks like a side dish of Element for dinner!
I hope you’re happy Andrew, keeping us all waiting like this! WE NEED TO RENDER SOMETHING!!! FAST….Real time in fact
C’mon break it out!!!
Anyone know if you can import tracking data and video files into element and composite the 3d objects into the footage? Didnt see it mentioned in the videos so I’m guessing you can’t.
cnt wait to c more feature on it XD
OHHHHHH BROOOOTHHHEERRRRRR…….
Release the kraken already…or at least make some post…
Ahhh, I see, you are probably reading all these comments and laughing to yourself!
Or since it’s probably around 9:00am (according to the ‘comments’ time) you are probably finishing your breakfast…right???
Hm….. 06:31 pm
Electronic cash is never sleeping
I worry about another power blackout of the amazon cloud, immediately after Andrew awakes…..
Come ON!!! I cant Wait anymore lol!!

See the time zone, not the city, in which it is 10:30 am
patients…. patients… the precious will be with us sooooooonnnn!!!
We have waited over a year for this, a few more hours will not hurt… i hope… lol 
Thank you VC for all the hard work that you do to help people like me learn and perform motion graphics with Adobe After Effects. Your tutorials have helped me to create title sequences at no charge for worthy non profits like The Save America Foundation and even a free video sequence for St. Petersburg College Engineering Technology Department (video finished yet). The things that you do help others to help others too. Thank you again. I hope that your new product brings you new success and opportunities.

Hey its 10:30:00 It Suppose To Be Up Now!!!!
ok I am ready… can we start selling?
does anyone know if my imac ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB GL 2.1 will work with this. i dont want to buy a dud.
I’ve got the same, I’m sure it’ll be fine. It’s only two years old so it’s all good. Although, I was thinking of upgrading mine
Based on what he stated on the vid, you should be fine.
what, you guys haven’t been able to purchase yet??? that’s weird! this plug-in is awesome!
ok ok, i was kidding. still waiting with the rest of you.
Andrew only 50 mints for the completion of the day and i had plan to go through plugin tonight but i think so i won’t be able to do so….
so pls update I cant wait.
waiting……………………………….
and still waiting…………………
Sorry to disappoint everyone, but just got off the phone with Andrew. I’m buying Element in an exclusive deal for 750 billion dollars. No one else gets it. I will however, be uploading clips to youtube where I’m navigating the interface!
How CRUEL!!!!
Sorry to hear that…But Andrew already gave me the product and I am already learning the “in a nut-shell” of it!!!
He told me also that no one else will get it…
HOW SWEET IS THAT?
Posted 50mins ago… @videocopilot: Just finishing up the product pages… lots of animated GIFs….
we never wait more for new year like element 3d..:)
When Andrew said “Available 10th July” he means 23:59 10th july:)
hahaha, i hope not
Or maybe 10th July 2013?!?
Just finishing up the product pages… lots of animated GIFs….
Twitter Updates..
https://twitter.com/videocopilot
That was pretty encouraging to hear…:)
I’ve literally been checking every half hour since 11:00am on the East Coast. ANOTHER HOUR TO WAIT FOR MID DAY YOUURR TIIMMEEE AAAAHHHHH!!!!!
i hate time zone differences. they suck.
i woke up early this morning and rushed to my pc only to realize it was only 1am California time.

Mmmm … so ELEMENT 3D for ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS is kinda the same as MOGRAPH for CINEMA 4D ?
not exactly. Mograph makes it easier to manipulate/animate objects inside C4D. Currently, After Effects does not have the ability to even use 3D models natively (well, there is that feature allowing obj’s to imported via photoshop. and true, CS6 now has the ray traced renderer which a step closer. and there have been other 3d plugins like boris 3d objects and invigorator, etc). however, none of the plugins have given you as much control over animation as we are seeing in Element 3D….not to mention the render times (what I’m most excited about). so…i guess you could compare it to mograph. but i feel that element is a much bigger asset to AE than mograph is to c4d.
I agree with Kevin. Render time is a hugh deal. As I see it things that have taken me hours and even days to render in my program (3ds Max) will take a lot less time. This will be a big time saver.
Thank you for the feedback
Time zone differences sucks
Okay Andrew, we wait, but WE CAN’T WAIT. WE WANT ELEMENT 3D. YOUR THE BEST PLUGIN IN THE WORLD. I WANT ELEMENT 3D, WE WANT ELEMENT 3D, WE WANT YOUR PLUGIN. We like you, we love you. Just give it(plugin) us.
How many times do i have to refresh this Blog?
Hmm… about 3995839305853289573295 times. (as I)
I have refreshed over 50 times…. and what ?
Nothing.
I have probably refreshed the page more than 30 times and I am seriously not lying…also, I kept my pc turned on for the last 11 hours…SADNESS!
I’ve refreshed this page like 50 times and nothing also i’m following twitter and checking out Facebook but it seems that Andrew is still working on the release. So i can wait a little bit more but please i want this baby now lol
Cheers
Let us hope that they really have a Plugin, not just hundreds of animated gifs
Hmm….im thinking that the release is probably according to a particular time zone. So 12pm in our locations may be different from 12pm in VC’s location…
Oh man… here is 8:45 pm but on VC is 11:30 am ?????????? oh No! I must be awake to 2 am
45 Sorry
