Another Free 3D Model! Galaxy S3

We posted a free iPhone 5 model recently and some people asked if we were paid by Apple to promote the phone and the answer is NO. They didn't give us any free phones or computers we did it because we love you... in other words, that plan back-fired!

But today, we are releasing a free Galaxy S3 phone by Samsung and maybe those guys will send us some free TV's or something. Can't wait to watch TV on my new Samsung TV! Thanks guys! Hello? ... Lousy internets.

3D Model:

Unzip the files to your "My Models" folder to use with Element 3D or import the OBJ file into your favorite 3D program. You can also watch the iPhone 5 tutorial to see how to animate the screen and other useful tips.

We've included the Element 3D files for both the white and black version of the phone too!

Seriously? People moaned about the iPhone instead of just thanking and and requesting an alternative? Tacky. If ever there's not a model I prefer, I'd simply create it myself rather than insult the person giving us freebies. I sense there are a lot of people using Element who haven't a clue about how to do anything themselves, but I digress...

This is really great. But honestly I would love a model pack featuring "Things With Screens". so much of my commercial work calls for video playback on TVs, cellphones, laptops, and computers that I would happily buy a model pack with a variety of those things, Element-ready.

Can you parent a 3D element object to a Null? have a null drive the 3d element model, along with an image layer. Is this possible?
Anon

Yes it's possible. Create expressions for the 'Position XY' and 'Position Z' properties of the particle replicator. Then just pickwhip the null's position.

Hi Andrew,

first of all. I love your work and keep buying your products.

If someone can help - please advice.

Hi guys at video copilot. ! just wanted to say that your all brilliant - especially Sam Loya - hilarious haha. All the tutorials are so informative and all show so much that can be re-used again and again!! I've been watching and learning from you guys for a wee while now, and you've really inspired me!! I set out to try and film my own wee short and much of what you show in this website really helped in terms of applying effects, so far I only have the trailer for the film finished - but it's a working progress haha. Low budget and all, but I think the whole point in this website is for people who just want to make films and enjoy it, whatever the budget is. Here's the link if you fancy giving it a watch:-

You know that everyone is looking for the iPhone, and is therefore likely to find your page in a search.
