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!

3D MODELS

















nice try mr. kramer
Hey awesome! Love free 3D models and look forward to the city one. Please take a look at my animation for a video competition and like it, thanks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpKSmHui6rM&feature;=plcp
Nice video Jonathan…gud work
um, Jonathan, 2 things. 1) that video was AMAZING. and 2), yeah, i’ll be totally copying some of it for my next project
great work man.
great job on the video!
Hey thanks guys! Jeremy I really appreciate that, I’d be honoured if you used some of my ideas. If you have any questions on how I animated anything PM me.
Hey cool video, here is a similar one that I made a couple of months ago. I meant to put a link on the VC website to try and inspire some people, but I forgot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH6yFML_JBk&feature;=youtu.be
Nice work Jonathan, way better than any of the other entries I’ve seen so far. I wanted to enter myself but alas, past the age limit
That’s great, thanks. Btw, check this great logo animation made only in After Effects. YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBePEoGyUlM
This Model Looks Great but when i try to import it in 3ds max, 3ds could not find the material file i am also having problems making a new material
Somebody please help me
Nice work, Jonathon! Gave it a nice big thumbs up on YouTube. Good luck!
Jonathon…nice smooth video. It was so good I thought it was the ad before the video comes on!
Really nice video with an important message. Great job!!!
uuu.. thanks, vewy nice ..
Hey Andrew, I have been wondering if these 3DS Max files would work in Maya too. Sam
It’s free, just Download them and find out? They should, since cinema 4d supports 3Ds Max and Maya is an Autodesk product… so I would say yes.
Import those in Max. Export that file As .obj File
And then import it to any f your 3d s/w like maya as you asked for. Solved
They will!
Has that way of getting sponsors actually ever worked?
Thanks a bunch for the model!
are you modeling these?
No !!!
His crew / His co-workers. May be !! Who modelled the packs
Like the 3D modeller artist if anyone in his team
Hey Andrew, we luv u too! =D
Thanks Andrew (and all the VideoCopilot crew)
Totally awesome.
“… in other words, that plan back-fired”
XD … LOL
Total thanks VideoCopilot.
Thanks Andrew, but I have a question, are you ever going to release aircraft models as a pack like the gun pack?
Thanks,
Chris
Sooooo…. now u guys have FREE iPhones AND Samsung TVs!!! so cheeky!
Thank you very much A.K. and VC Team looks amazing man, cheerz mate
first iPhone… now Samsung… getting into a PHONE WAR? cooll LOL… anyway.. thanks a lot Andrew

…and red, and brown?… for some reason :/
I’ve had the white model I bought from a website, but I wasn’t able to get it working in element 3d. I started a help thread even and didn’t get any help. Glad you made this, but still curious how to get mine working since I paid for it.
Thank you so much video copilot
hoo da man? YOO DA MAN!!!
wow that’s more like it, hey Andrew which one do you prefer, Iphone 5 or S3? planning to buy hehe, thanks
LOL, consumptionist….
Man, you are the best
Hooray for bipartisanship! haha Great model! Now if I only had Element…
VideoCopilot SUCKS… BAZINGA!! Many thanks as always!!
I want to give my thanks to all of the guys at Video Co Pilot. You engage with your customers and give great value for money. I cant wait for the building packs to be released. Owing to the fact you guys give so much, to buy your products makes me feel like I can give something back… I don’t feel that way about anything else I buy.. you have a fantastic business model!!! keep it up guys!!
GENIUS. Absolutely genius.
Used the iPhone model here:
https://vimeo.com/49660712
The school even posted it to their website. Thanks a bunch!
Really awesome
not bad (y)
hi kramer…………thank for d model nd luv u 2
So Samsung is paying you now? lol Thanks for the great models.
Excellent stuff Andrew and the VCP crew, hope y’all end up getting the new fangled OLED TV’s that Sammy have just outed. Thank you for the free .obj files.
Hi, I am having the same problem with this as I had with the Iphone (which I’m sure is my fault). When I drop the screen image into the illumination slot for the screen material, I dont get anything showing. What am I doing wrong?
hi andrew that’s awesome! i hope next free model is samsung galaxy note 10.1 because i need it so much. :p
you’re the best man
You can make the tab in any 3D software With low poly or high poly
And import here
Dont make him now give you a real tablet to your home haha jkjk
Nice Kramer………..
When will come the vehicle and the Jet pack
And thanks for this andrew haha Great model
I’m just a hobbyist but Element 3D is looking more attractive to me everytime I visit this site. I just might have to bite the bullet and purchase this plugin.
now we just need a Nokia 920 to complete the trio! haha
BTW Andrew, here you are some stuff we’ve just made with 3dMax and Element. Most of the clips qith flying objects are Element, and even more…
https://vimeo.com/49593031
hope you enjoy, at least, to know we’re definetely taking profit from it.
Saludos!!
Hi Marc. Great work! Did you animated all in AE/Element?
yes, but not all, there are many animations from 3DsMax. I can say that 50% is Element, animations included!
Nice Work! How much time would you say you saved by incorporating Element into the workflow – or is it too early to tell (learning curve impacts, etc.)
Thanks for posting!
Well, corchard, I can’t say exactly, but I’m sure that at least 100 hours of 3D Max renderings…
Need a Tutorial about “make a model and export (with texture) for Element 3D”…… it’ll help if you do it in 3dsmax.
Thank you for the new 3D model. Looks great!
Is anybody else having trouble with scaling of the model when brought into After Effects?
I’m having to scale to 100%/78% to make it appear normal.
I’m using AE-CS6 …. and never had problems with Element 3D of any kind before today.
Solved! My bad …! My frame aspect ratio settings got changed overnight for some reason.
This is an awesome gift Andrew and VC!
Thx Andrew
coooool ;D
I wonder how hard it would be to make this into a Samsung Google Nexus…
Haha… I guess the SONYA T.V is getting old now, you could do with a new one
hey guys cheek this element test video http://vimeo.com/51094030
some guy create it
nothing special
at lease he try where is yours
I don’t make millions of tests. If i’ll do final version then i’ll show you.
Dont fight here fellows :p
Justin is right. Atleast he tried.
@ Sandie thanks bro
Adrian is always a troll… Don’t listen to him.
i guess he’s a hater
HAHA YES
Agree!!!!!!
@justin & The Other
I guess He is self oriented IDK waht we call it. But He is like Jealous type of guy :p
Hope you all doing well :]

@blurrypuzzle
Hi !
Do you know how to put the screen of the Iphone on 3dsMAx ???
All the textures work perfectly but the screen isot on the render (I’ve put the screen texture in “Auto illumination” (hope the english name is this), so do you know how put the screen in 3Ds MAx ???
Thanks
“Lousey internets”, hahaha, I think the world needs an Andrew Kramer stand up routine, or better yet an Andrew Kramer sit com ! Are ya listening ABC?
Andrew, you’ve been very discouraged!
Do not be discouraged because your plugin is awesome and everyone should buy the plugin to help you produce better things.
Staff seek to buy the plugin, it’s cheap and worth every penny.
Agree
This Model Looks Great but when i try to import it in 3ds max, 3ds could not find the material file i am also having problems making a new material
Somebody please help me
an object tracking tutorial would be awesome… <.<
How long does one of these take you to make.
For him may be 1 or 2 hours with detailed texture
For us may be more than 24 Hours :p
Thanks so much! This is great
huh, did people actually ask that.
I just thought it was clever marketing.
You know that everyone is looking for the iPhone, and is therefore likely to find your page in a search.
In addition, some people might want to make a parody, the amounts of “Free iPhone” or “3D iPhone” searches that will be made is likely high.
wow very cool , Professional as always , who know where i can get HTC OneX 3D Model ??
hey guys, your are the best. thanks for the good works..
I love you about a million times. Much positive karma your way!
Very cool! I have a Galaxy S3, too
Than you should put your Cellphone in to 3D scanner and export your model with 3D printer :p
You dont have to download it frm here LOL
Hi guys at video copilot. !:D 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:-
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r4qggMwegjU
Cheers again all !!! (: looking forward to the next tuturial btw Andrew (;
Hi Andrew,
first of all. I love your work and keep buying your products.
Maybe you could think about a simple, closed Blu-ray case Model for Element 3D with a front, a back and a side cover. I can’t find anything like that in the net.
If someone can help – please advice.
cheers
jan
Email Me I will give you that model with 4k texture
Thanks. And for your concern Not selling anything. i am just a student Hope i can help you as a pal “]
If you want then tweet me @blurrypuzzle I will give you Email Id
thanks again Andrew this is awesome.
hi everyone, i have a question if any one can help, i`m learning blender and one thing i`m stuck at is how to render an object to be used in Element? if any one has any tips or links i`ll be very thankful.
Umm , I think you should check the Internet
And you ment to export the object right ?? Not rendered object
yes, i just need the object but there is a lots of export options and other things that i`m not familiar with. i checked the internet but not much was there about exporting.
I never used Blender Though
Sorry Bro But you should check this out http://www.videocopilot.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t;=89233
Actually after the last free iPhone model, i some how recieved a box of iphone 5′s from a box i found infront of a building that had some whacky name like Video Copilots. i figured since they were Pilots, they didnt need that box any way, i mean Pilots should be focused on Flying and not playing on iPHONES. i just saved a bunch of peoples LIVES! Keep flying and god speed Kramerica Airlines!
NICE sTORY haha
Here’s iPhone 5 White map made by me! Hope you like it! Thanks!
i.imgur.com/19wKD.jpg
Amazing Model andrew! And thanks to you, I rendered a sweet picture of the white Galaxy S3. This was rendered using the default render engine, definitely check it out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/djozmanmj/8074333165/in/photostream/lightbox/
LOL you are funny waht you said here HAHA
Why? i dont see anything funny here. Aahhh, maybe you think this was ripped of google? Listen, i dont want any attention for work I didnt made. I just wanted to show you guys how amazing this model can look with the correct render settings and light setups.
This is my example!

You should have stuck with the iPhone model.
Did the guy approving the comments fall asleep?
Ah…fanboys.
Clearly Robert is still dealing with his erectile dysfunction issues. Poor guy. I guess the Cialis didn’t work in the end.
I know right…

Hi .. take a look at our new short clip on youtube .. It’s kind of 3D and a lot of VC OPTICAL FLARES .. Cheers !
http://youtu.be/DwcH7JW6g8M
Very nice, dude!
@asART
That’s hilarious. I came back here to check comments, but I got caught up on YouTube. I’d literally just been looking at the “Low” video on your site.
Very nice.
Thank you to all you guys at VC once again for always giving your fans amazing stuff like the Galaxy S3. You guys always make the best tuts out there. I look forward to the next tut
Anyone try to do this similarly to the iphone5 tutorial but end up getting a a bloated screen? Can’t get it to work like the iphone 5 tutorial.
Andrew, do you know Sven Kramer?
Thanks a lot Andrew !
Is there any way to do “light wrap” in E3D?
Actually there is…
just apply ” Light Wrap ” Effect in the same Element 3D layer…i’m 100% sure it will work.
apply in the follow possition.
1- Elemend 3D
2- Light Wrap
Should have an iPhone and a Samsung do a dance competition with each other to “Dueling Banjos” or the like.
Awsome!!!take a look at my first attempt of using element 3D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRbuKg6CvBM
I hope you like it!!
That’s what’s up.. THANX!!!!
My first animation in 3D element: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hROGS1wNGbw
Pretty cool. Where did you get the Zonda model from?
very nice
This is done using Element 3D, Part 1 …Part 2 is coming soon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpqPPJsMdU4
Thanks so much, guys. Really appreciate this. You’re awesome!
I wonder how many angry fanboys and geeks comments got stopped at moderation. I always like reading those
.. Here is our new short clip .. Enjoy!

wooow andrew you always inspiring me y r amazing
Any chance you’ll ever do a Waterfall tutorial? Putting in a water fall on footage a cliff ?
Getting a error when loading .obj in maya 2009
// Error: Error reading file.//
file -f -options “mo=1″ -typ “OBJ” -o “Z:/Downloads/galaxys31/galaxys3/galaxys3/galaxys3_black.obj”;addRecentFile(“Z:/Downloads/galaxys31/galaxys3/galaxys3/galaxys3_black.obj”, “OBJ”);
// Error: line 0: OBJ file line 14669: index out of range for face creation. //
The iphone model loaded fine.
I’m testing out Cinema 4D, but the textures dont line up on the model. I have no idea on Unwrapping… Can someone post a cinema-file with the texture in place?
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?
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 all .. I have created a free 3D model “PAVILLON”. It’s done with 3Ds Max. The files are available as OBJ and E3D. You can download and use it for free. There are no textures included. You can easily choose one of the original materials from ELEMENT 3D. I hope you will like it .. Cheers!
DOWNLOAD HERE:
http://www.as-art.ch/downloads/pavillon-3d-model/
Thanks man. That’s really nice of you.
Hehe You ; Me And andrew are three free modelers for element 3D
And hey thank you for this
Thanks Andrew! I love Video Copilot. I used lots of your techniques (and action essentials) in my stop motion animation entry for the Halo Megabloks competition. Actually, I’ve seen lots of Video Copilot stuff in the entries over there. Mine’s called Codename: Sweeper. Check it out and vote if you like: http://halo.megabloks.com/en/media/videos/4012-CODENAME-SWEEPER
.. here is a NEW FREE 3D MODEL “BINOCULAR” .. Ready for you to download and use in your projects. You can easily choose one of the original Element 3D materials as texture. The ZIP-Archive includes OBJ and E3D files only. Hope you will like it .. Cheers !

Thank you so much
Hi @all ..
I have created another FREE 3D MODEL called “OIL BARREL” for you guys. Fell free to download and import it in to VC ELEMENT 3D. Use the original materials as textures .. I hope you will like it .. Cheers !
http://www.as-art.ch/downloads/oil-barrel-3d-model/
kramer your site only shows good comments and deletes bad comments about you and just know not everybody likes you
HAHAHAHahahahA
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.
This great Kramer
Here is My model I am giving a friend I met here ; for free as he asked me for his works. iI made it preety high detailed. https://twitter.com/i/#!/blurrypuzzle/media/slideshow?url=pic.twitter.com%2Fx2QdgkSa
hey man, you’re great,i think you’re making a revolution.
maaaaaaaan u didn’t make it work with intel Yet !!
Andrew Price made an iphone tutorial and then a samsung galaxy one. What a coicidence…
And you telling you’re doing it for free (to multis)… i dont care actually…bless you!
Great kick start!
ohh, and a new tutorial on CG tuts, modeling iphone in Maya! Last time in Max, now in Maya…and it was in Blender too… and you do it too…EVERYONE MODELING IPHONE FOR FREE! Lucky Apple
Nokia Lumia 920 Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease
Man you as always is cool! Many thanks for such good gift.
Excuse for transfer my English very bad.
This obj will not import into Maya. It says unable to read file. Anyone else have this problem? Or have a workaround?
its awesome plugin and amazing iphone check this out i made it with gangam style song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyPyCmcp5A8
Cool! Now we need a Nokia Lumia 920!
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…
Hi,anyone can tell me where i can find a 3d tablet with textures ready to use for element 3d please ?
