3D MODELS
We may not be changing our name to Video Kill-Pilot but today we are releasing a free Halloween Model pack with 13 spook-tastic models! “Spook-tastic”? … What am I talking about?
These models are ready to use with Element 3D inside of After Effects or import the OBJ files into your favorite 3D program, the texture files are universal too.
UPDATED: Fixed Skull model bug and UV’s in C4D.
Download Halloween Pack and Experiment now!
Now… why are we doing a lot of 3D stuff? Is Video Copilot Changing? Should I investigate that strange sound outside near that trail of blood?
I would say that Video Copilot is evolving along with the industry to keep pace with the ambitious demands of modern advertising and film. More and more we see movies and commercials that use elaborate 3D animation that require a dedicated 3D application.
So we came up with a plug-in called Element 3D that bridges that gap between After Effects and a full 3D program. It offers many great capabilities of a traditional 3D program and majorly expands the capability of your favorite software After Effects. This way the skills that you have learned over the past few years can continue to grow with the plug-in’s new capabilities.
YES we earn money by selling our Plug-ins and that is the main source for keeping the website running and our 10+ employees. But Element 3D truly offers capabilities that were simply not available before. Like realtime 3D models in After Effects with all of the advanced features like Depth of Field and Ambient Occlusion to name a few. I can’t even count how many tutorials I’ve created in the past dedicated to making things LOOK 3D-ish…
We also get people telling us that we could have charged much more for the plug-in but we wanted to make it as affordable as possible. Of course, we will continue to do traditional compositing tutorials like before but we also want to add more 3D stuff to the candy bowl.
Stuff like the Airplane from the Mid-Air Emergency video is actually easy to do with Element 3D but might otherwise be difficult with a dedicated 3D program. I even used Element 3D to create the recent Fringe Intro for FOX and the animated vegetation in the REVOLUTION intro on NBC. So when you think about all the small things that are possible with Element 3D, it’s actually kinda SCARY.
Happy Halloween and enjoy that Candy Corn!

You guys have made my business grow and I just want to say thank you. Cant wait to do professional commercials but movies will do for now…
Likewise! My business has too, thanks Andrew!
Here’s a hilarious video about Candy Corn…check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI6kOK8Z-Cw&list;=UU3F9AtMmV849aboGUuu8e1g
want it, love it, got it, thanks Andrew

Looks cool andrew! Nice job!!
you are way too good to us.
we’re not worthy !!!!!
Thank you Andrew! Element is awesome, i’m having fun with it -> http://vimeo.com/50154583
That Looking awesome .Will you contact me please :] Thanks
Thank you! I’ll add on facebook
amazing,thank you soo much,you are the best andrew
This is amaze-balls. And by Amazeballs I mean Amaze Balls….FROM HELL!!!
Happy Hallowe’en All!
what do you mean by amaze-balls
Great stuff- thank you!
Thaaaaaaank you Andrew..
your are the best andrew ! tamra.
nice model pack. i really like the Revolution animated vegetation trick. any chance of a tutorial on that? thanks!
Working on one!
Andrew – I spotted your work on the very first episode that I saw of Revolution (which was the premier). The thigns that jumped out at me were, the earth, the growing weeds, and then of course, the power button used in Revolution. Fantastic job!
yay
Allways awesome, thanks a lot!
Thank you so much, just a question? how do you do the flames on the skull? is that also in element3D?
I don’t think that the flame was made in Element 3D, but with this guys, there is nothing they can’t do, but Andrew also said that the image was rendered in 3D Studio Max. It also have a look like Action Essential. I don’t know, maybe there is a little bit of both.
Just the bottom image was 3D max and the flame is from Action Essentials 2.
Just the bottom one is 3d Max? Rsrsrsrs, I think the others from Element is way much better!
Andrew, I want you to make us a tutorial on how to set the fire, because the truth does not give that effect as
listo gracias..desde colombia
Great stuff Andrew!!!! thanx!!
one question Andrew….curious, when are you releasing the model pack for the cities? any idea when you might.
Very close to release.
This will be realease before may be when they declared the world will be end on nov or decemebr i forgot the date :p haha
haha
then we can make a promo of Tsunami or something and peacefully die
Muchisimas gracias!!!!
Thanks Andrew, I’ve not had any regrets buying the ‘E3D’ plug-in. Amazing stuff!! One question though, did any of your tutorials cover shadows for Element 3D? Regards from Nigeria.
Actually in Tutorial 131 3D Truck Composite Andrew explains that Element 3D does not cast shadow but he makes an excellent example of how to make an illussion of shadowing the element with a trick, hope it’s works for you, it did for me.
Thanks Luis, will sure go through that.
It’s amazing that it seems that anytime I start watching a new TV show and I think ‘oh those are pretty neat titles!’ I find out that you designed the credits! Did you also do the season 2 renewed intro for Person of Interest?
I actually didn’t do the new sequence for Person of Interest Season 2 but it sure looks amazing!
Have to agree…. the opening title to POI season 2 is pretty awesome. Would be great if you could do a breakdown on something similar to this. And thanks again for the 3D models
Yes I agree, it looks very cool. You did do the titles for season 1 right? Is there any chance you’d maybe do something like an article about doing a project like this, from beginning to end? I’m very curious to learn how projects like this work, you’re approached by someone and what happens next? Do you come up with a lot of ideas yourself, or is there a lot of input from a director for example? And is this kind of work on a super tight deadline or is stuff like this done more in the beginning of the production process? Anyway, love you work, and I understand if you don’t have time for something like this but I’d really like to know something more about it
.
The titles for the new season were done by Imaginary Forces using a lot of Trapcode Form. They’re awesome.
………..THIS BLOWS!!!!!…………
….my mind..awesome!!!!!
Thanks man for the models and the wishes. Happy Halloween
Thank you so much!! Happy Halloween!
Superb!!! Thanks a mill…
Impresionante, descargando :p y si, habia notado un cambio en video copilot, se estan expandiendo y eso es bueno
I just bought Element 3D yesterday along with all the 3D model packs. So today I’m downloading it all and installing when BAM! Here’s a new free Halloween pack to download as well! THANKS MAN! These models are top shelf and worth way more that what you’ve charged. I just have one question. When will the City Model pack be out? I neeeeeeeeeeeeds it! >:D
He almost said above that
The city pack is gonan come soon. “_”
We expect it to be next month or before new year may be as surprise hehe
Thank you Very much Andrew + crew, you are really inspiring to me, you trully breate to inspire, would you make a tutorial about the airplane in Mid-Air Emergency video? I can´t get the effect of the sky, o maybe you could just give a hint, thank you very much for what you do for us, best wishes from Argentina.
Make An environment layer as taking a spehre in it from primitives and put that in other group. and scale it up. move your camera and animate.
Thank you Andrew. You and the VC team are doing an EXCELLENT work.
Here is my ELEMENT 3D artwork: https://vimeo.com/51735893
Dude that is freaking awesome…nice camera work
Really great logo too..(LEFT)
Really nice work man, very interesting.
You should do a tutorial. This looks great.
Thank you guys, I really appreciate it.
Absolutely amazing
Thank you R-Cane!
Thanks Andrew for your hard work man! Now to get my scare on!
Peace
Thanks Andrew, Great Stuff for Halloween.
I knew Revolution was you! I expect your name on anything JJ Abrams wise.
You must show a tutorial of that vegetation! Never would have guessed Element.
Thank you AK for being so damn handsome.
Thanks a lot Andrew.. <3
Andrew You are the best…I wish I could mt u one day in my life i m a big fan of you…God Bless you Brother
one think how can i get 3D Element in Pakistan Still waiting for it. Andrew Please reply me must. thnx
Thank you so much! Time to get animating!
Excelente , muchas gracias
Thanks so much, guys! You are absolutely awesome!
Great stuff! Keep it up
Thanks so much, Andrew
Awsome
DDDDDDDDDDDD
Thank you Andrew!!!! Thats awesome.
Wooo! I was hoping this would come out today! I can get to work on a Halloween video now!
I don’t understand when ever I import the OBJ into 3DS MAX the material doesn’t load too I have to do it manually???????????
OBJ files are the type of that extesion file that can be openup in any 3d program now a days. So they dont have textures. Even if you import a obj file here in Element ; then it will be same as the most 3d program do. it import it without texture and you have to texture it manually as well as in most 3d programs too
I just saw the new promo for “FRINGE” last night, and I played it over and over because I was SURE it was yours Andrew… great job! Looking forward to seeing the opener in November.
Some guys horde ALL the talent… sheesh.
When will the City pack be available?
So, when will the vehicle pack come out? XD
Hopefully Vehicle and city pack may be come before worlds end. then we will die after make a tsunami promo using thosr in E3D.
By the way World is gonna end in 58 days :p
Awesome Andrew ! Thank you
esta muy muy bueno, aver que sale
Great release Andrew, but I have a problem in Cinema 4D, some of the textures are not mapping correctly any reason why?
I think its beacause in C4D some models are missing the UVW tag.
how can we fix this in C4D
Andrew, please update the package with correct UVs, the models are really great!
Element continues to amaze me with its beautiful renders (yes, you have to work really hard on your shots to get prometheus like quality, but it’s very achievable…) I build a shot and always expect an overnight render…and to date 2hrs was by far the longest (usually its 15 to 45 minutes (at 1080p 4x supersampling!!!) from a 15000$ plug in..no..wait..a 150$ plug in!!!!! ….Kramer for president…
As always He make it the best . We are glad he rule our compositing world
Hola soy argentino, me quieren chupar un poco la pija
Thank you Andrew for your new plugin Element 3D. I admire you so much and I hope to be like you one day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM5ZxhKe1YA
Thank You Andrew. As usual you are terrific. Great tutorials free models and a free pack. Element is the best pluggin ever developed and what can be accomplished with it is amazing.
Is there any chance of you guys making a vehicle model pack? Or perhaps several? I really think that an aircraft pack, a military pack(tanks, humvee), and a watercraft pack would be absurdly popular. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Thanks Andrew! Love your Halloween stuff you give us!

Thanks for being awsome.
Great Detail you or the best
the texture is very realistic end also color correction
well done
A gentleman, a scholar, a visual effects wizard, you sir… are my hero!
Thank you for your dedication Andrew Kramer. We would be lost without you.
to me video copilot is a brand, and you have been super awesome to your customers, so just like Canon or Adobe, you have my brand loyalty, and i’ll be buying up your stuff in the future, thats for sure.
Totally..and I’d even say above and beyond…I’ve never had the head of Adobe or Canon email me personally about a problem I was having!
Thanks for this fun-pack!
I bought element en pro-shaders last week and i love it! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Sam Loya
1917-2012
In all the videos Sam was depicted by a Android, Radio controlled by real Sam Loya, which was 94 Years old.
Now that the Android is no longer working due to heavy use in videos, its resting “in pieces” (As seen on the Gravestone).
Meanwhile Sam Loya cloned himself to appear younger than 95 in the upcomning videos!
Very exciting random story
Hi guys where do i save this to so it’ll pop up when i click on scene set up with all the other 3d model packs?
Thank you Andrew and VCP family, this is wonderful stuff!
Thanks a million, guys. This site is a great learning tool, and I appreciate you keeping the prices affordable, especially during these tough times.
Thanks Sooo Much Andrew, Excellent pack
Oh WOW!! Well, Thank you very, very much!! will have loads of fun with these!!
Hi,great stuff but unfortunately some textures are useless in C4d as the UV Tag is missing lol.What a pity!!!
Happy Halloween for all of you guys and happy Feast for me !!!
Yes, I seem to be having trouble with the textures in Cinema 4D as well.
Thanks a lot Andrew!!! I love these models. How do you add text on the gravestones though? You should do a tutorial on one!
Wow, amazing free pack. In seconds I animated the skull, jaw talking and moving eyeballs. Your stuff always gets my creative juices flowing. Perfect timing for my new purchase of Green Screen back drop and lighting kit. Ready to go to work!
You are inspiring sir. If it wasn’t for you I would never have even tried. I’m not a pro, I’m barely a novice, but because of you I took an interest, and I love every minute of my new found passion. I enrolled in a digital arts program, and I’m giving myself a shot, from the bottom of my heart, thank you andrew kramer. The way you give away your talent and skill is such a humble display and it speaks of your incredible character. I dont want to get all corny on you, but you are the epitome of what an artist should be, and I am in your debt sir. Ya kind of gave me the opportunity to be creative in a way I never thought possible. I wish I could afford every plug in you make, but I promise you ill support your brand to the best of my ability on sheer principle. Thanks again.
I hope he will reply for this comment .You are way too nice to him hehe. And he derves this respect too
thanks guys you are the best. gooood job.
Hi Andrew….
You will never be forgiven… not even in the least sense… for killing Sam so early!
Pat
Wepaaaa!
thanks for this project Andrew, and to all the videocopilot team!
Andrew,
God’s blessings to you and your staff for always surprising us and for moving creativity forward.
1.) Don’t ever apologize for making an honest living.
2.) I hope you receive an Academy award for technical achievement for Element 3D or some of your film work. I hope someone nominates you real soon!
You’re the best!!
Thank you and Happy Halloween to you and your fine staff at VC!
Look forward to purchasing the city pack for E3D when it comes out.
There should be a Mograph-Element3D integration
Plus, Element 3D can be used to create amazing stereoscopic 3D animations.

Anyone having trouble with the chainsaw model? Crashes AE every time I try and use it.
Hi, I have encountered problems trying to use the chainsaw model. I have only encountered it when using Element on a Mac with AE CS6. I have been able to use the model on a Windows OS computer with AE CS4. Are you using a Mac? Hopefully these details will help them with trouble shooting.
yes, I have the same problem (Mac OSX 10.7.4 2.6 GHz i7 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3) I can open the .obj in C4D no problem but not once in AE
Same here…chainsaw crashes after effects
Yeah, same here…chainsaw crashed After Effects every time I click on it.
Same problem…
Cool, I’m not crazy. I am on a Mac, 10.6.8 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 16 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3. I’ve had chainsaw crashes in CS6 and CS5.5.
We have updated the pack to fix this. All you need to do is download the updated files by clicking the link above.
Awesome stuff.. You guys ROCK!!
Thanks, Andrew, and the whole VC team! I suspected you were involved with revolution. Good for you. Hope your halloween is awesome!
Awesome work as always Andrew! Thanks!

Nice early birthday present. Yeah, my birthday is on Halloween. Love the birthday, and especially love the new models.
Hey Andrew,
Would you mind, if you EVER get the time(haha), doing a quickie with how you did the (R)evolution sequence at the end of that intro? Twitch, I’m assuming?
Yeah i would agree with Trey to make that intro in future
i dont think it used of Twitch. may be some expression IDK :O
That could very well be. I have so many questions regarding that little 8sec clip of awesome. D:
You should contact me pal

This is why I love hanging out at Video Co Pilot every spare second! Love the generosity that you guys constantly share with the world! Andrew Kramer is not just a genius…he’s a nice guy too!
THANK YOU!
All the work that goes into giving us these fantastic gifts… thank you so much VC team.
/the Dahls
Just a quick question to everyone, Am I the only one experiencing major AE crashes when I try to load the chainsaw?? Other parts if the pack work fine, then I clock on the chainsaw and it crashes every time!
Help??
You are not. Read the above posts. Seems to be a Mac issue.
Well hey Video Coplilot updated again the free pack from same location you downloaded ; you can download the update pack and use it.. They updated this for same issues. Mentioned above
i am a chinese student!i like your tutorials so much.
Love VC.
You guys rock!
Just too bad so many people are ripping your hard work….
anyway! Loving Element 3D. Learning everyday!
PEACE
Nice Halloowweenn Stuuff!
But the chainsaw crushes my AE?! Some Idea?
WOW! Thnx for the pack! Looks very scary, haha.
Really Amazingggggggggg Pack. Love it. We all love it.”
And as you said we would buy it if it would even 10 times compare as the price right now. Because your products plugin and stock footage are really awesome than others and you have really a good heart and give us lot of things even free. If there would be anyone else even if there is a lot of sites they make everything sell. Thts shows money is not everything for you. You make your fans and supporters happy. You are true heroic character in this industry
Loves from all of us. Happy advance hallowen to you too
Do u think its possible to simulate tank tracks animation in elements? Somthing like moving maskes around a path or so.
Just a thought
Love U Master Andrew
Thanks a lot
Love U VC
Happy Halloween and best wishes

Thankx Anderw You & your team
love u……………………
Many, many thanks for Element 3D, Optical Flares, Action Essentials, the tutorials, the free stuff – everything! VC is where I started learning After Effects – everything you have added since has been incredibly helpful and often groundbreaking. Keep doing whatever you think is right. The rest of us are happy to follow along…
Thanks Andrew and the whole Videocopilot.net crew!
Excellent plugin and thanks for the new goodies!
VC Team.. yes TEAM Its not just Andrew!!!
Six months ago I found VC and I have spent hours watching everyone of your tutorials TWICE or even more, and what did it cost me? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Coz you guys are basically training me F.O.C.
I work in Print and have been using Illustrator and photoshop since 1989. I have worked for companies that are GLOBAL in creative fields, but I have always wanted to do Video FX. So at 44 I said “Less talk, more action” so here I am!!!
I just bought the elements 3d Pack for $250 or £155.60 in real money
. But am I ready to use this product?
No not yet but I still bought it!!!! WHY???
I bought Elements 3D for the following reasons…
To support the whole VC team financially, as the world would be a poorer place without you guys.
Its an AMAZING product! Not full 3D but you don’t profess to sell it as 3DS or the like.
Pound for pound – this is cheap. But you guys are right. Make it affordable and more will buy.
(Its nice to know that someone ain’t trying to rip you off!!)
So can I just say to everyone out there. £156 is about a DAYS work in the UK. This product will save you well more than a day in time doing stuff. It will increase your ability to sell your products by showcasing a Broadcast Quality Cut. And its so adaptable that the limit is literally your imagination!!!
EXCELLENT value for money. EXCELLENT product. EXCELLENT tuition (Lynda.com AE tuition is good, but its nowhere near is usefully as Andrew Kramers tutorials and they charge!!!)
Keep up the good work guys!!
Are the UV’s off for anyone else (on the skull any way)
thank you so much. its great.
@Thomas
The chainsaw model kills my copy of AE too…
Just hangs when trying to import the model into the E3D scene editor.
I have a pretty beefy system too so I doubt its a lack of RAM or GPU power. (i7 3770K, 660Ti and 16gb RAM).
Well I have not as much as good configuration as you but i can import all the files and can work on them ( I could do it before the update released )
But you can DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE now !!
Another great release! Thanks for share this and leave for free! But, I have a problem on Cinema 4D. Some textures aren’t mapped right. What can I do to fix that? Thanks.
There is an update available for this Halloween Pack
Just for this bug
Thanks Andrew and the whole Videocopilot.net crew!
This is without a doubt the finest website for 3dsmax/After Effects users like myself. My thanks to Andrew and all at Videocopilot for their generosity and innovation.
Thanks! I don’t have Element 3d yet, so I’ll have to use them in blender.
Hey Drew how about a model pack with rubble and destroyed cities…
Andrew & Team, I continue to be amazed at the dedication you have to helping all of us. (You do realize I am now a VC lifer!!) I really don’t know where you find the time cause I know you are much busier than myself and there just aren’t enough hours in the day. Thank you for this Halloween gift!
Thanks master krammer
THank you sooo much mannneeee We love your work and would like to say that We APPRECIATE your time and effort you put into these tutorials… we are VERY VERY VERY VERY THANKFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!… THANKS MANEE U THE BEST!
Honestly because of your working and tutorials.. which gave me hope.. lmao… I think might be going into the career of Film and Media Production.. I gave up because I thought i couldn’t do all that technical editing and effect stuff but I came upon you’re site and found your tutorials now I’m learning and working on a web series and will be submitting my video and media portfolio to the universities for admission. Thank you Andrew once again

Hi Andrew thanx for ur useful product & such this stuff
i have a question …
How do u set up UV & texture for ur 3d models or how do u export them for E3D,that easy & ready to use (just drag and don!)
i created a headphone in 3ds max and i just wanted to render it in E3D like ur’s .. i have some UV problem and i don’t know what to do … can u HELP me PLZZZZZ
Sorry for my poor English !
You should watch Max tutorials
If there are any Modo users out there – any idea how to apply the illumination map and have it render. It doesn’t show up in the preview render or the final but it does show in the 3D viewport with Advanced Open GL.
Thanks to VCP for the awesome freebies!
Awesome Andrew and thanks a lot.
Gratefully to all sharing and services Andrew.Go ahead of inspire the personal dreams of people.
Where do you get the time to do these?
Thanks!!!
Andrew bought the element plugin but when I click ok out of the scene set up and go in to my composition my camera tool doesn’t rotate my 3d object it just moves it up and down and sideways I can’t orbit around it and I’ve tried all the camera tools can you help me
thanks for a free 3d model.
….But please put some tutorials using this model.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqM-I3Uhdrk&feature=plcp !!CHECK IT OUT!!
These are cool. You should do some on sci/fi: Like space ships, planets, asteroids, meteors, craters, space junk, etc. Those might be usueful to some people out in the fast depths of space.
Hi my virtual Guru of AE. This is suprb present from you. God bless you for ever.
u r too genius and a favulouse disigner teacher
Hey guys, theres a new pack with all the fixes. Thanks VC! Also those that have the problem of the chainsaw not loading, rename the diffuse texture beacuse it’s misspelled (deffuse)

You made the “Revolution” intro? Cool, I love it.. Would you consider making a tutorial about the animated vegetation??
what do i have to do if i want more groups or more objects in the same scene ?
for example i tried to build a graveyard. I used group 1 for the plane, group 2 for the first gravestone, group 3 for the text on the gravestone, group 4 for the 2nd gravestone and group 5 for another text. But now i cant add any more objects in my scene cause if i use another solid, add element 3d i can use more objects but they are actually not in the same scene, i mean they don’t disappear behind the objects from my other solid. Is it possible to get more groups or can i just put more solids with element 3d in the same scene somehow ?(sorry for my english i’m german)
hey Patrick,you really must remember that element is a 3D Particle system. use the Particle replicator options to get more instances of the models. alternatively you could use the models in a dedicated 3d app like 3D max.:)
Its great how your evolving with the demands…Cant wait to see more from your guys..Like new tutorials plugins and much more.
10+ employees?:) What are they doing?;) Playing minigolf?;) I understand that many people made this plugin, but now… making tutorials?… one person is enough.
wow…
Somebody didn’t get much love as a child…
Small question: since when do you care about anybody else job than yours? I mean really, they could be 100 employees smoking weed all day long.. It’s not your business what they do with their time and money.
How about the people modelling this pack so you can have it for free? Or the people who work to fulfill the orders that us paying customers place. Or the continued development of the current plugin and future one?
This may be off topic, but I noticed action essentials car explosion used in Taken 2.
Andrew, Thank You For All!!! You got me hooked in VFX. I watched some of the videos you guys posted and they’re really amazing. I thought I’d post my latest creation too: https://vimeo.com/50538520 . I know it’s so complex but I love it cuz it’s mine.
Wow, this is awesome! You should do one for Christmas too! You are the best Andrew Kramer!

Once again thank you for the freebies. I for one appreciate them. Just wondering what to get you for Christmas???
All bow down to the mighty VC Team! Great one, will DEFINITELY be using this!
Thank you again guys. Thanks for all the awesome stuff that you give us. V.C makes top quality stuff and the opening for the new Fringe series..wow
You guys rock
This may sounds incredibly noobish , but where would one find the aeroplane model to recreate the look as in the mid-air emergency intro, it looks sooooo good, I want to make my own airline
Can we expect a Christmas 3D package ? If so, when will it be available ?
Thank you very much…again..again…
How can we rotate the fan of Helicopter. Even if i placed with having another material in another group.. it dancing when i trying to rotate it
There is center pivot problem occuring eachtime i edit and export. I really done trying. Someone help me or give me hint
i tried every option (In 3d application s/w I merged the fan and made center pivot point manually and export.. still same problem happening.
Helicopter fan is not rotating in single point. When I make pivot point in E3D to “Model Center” or “Fropm Model” .
Does it take whole model as model Or take that as contains in same group ?
there is a tutorial on youtube for animating a chopper. type in the search bar: Element 3D Helicopter Rotor Animation Tutorial. Hope it helps?
I know @wenluc
but it dont help me ..
Wish you could make a tutorial brefely about it on your youtube if possible. its just request @wenluc
First try this: Go to aescripts.com and take a look at The script Elementary. It’s a free script (Name your price). with this script you can change your anchor point to where you like. If this won’t work then I’ll take a look at making a tut
Yes I foundout what was my problem
thanks 
You should contact me ?
But i didnt check waht you suggested :p haha before it i found i made mistakes on 3d program.
And hey i do watch your youtube a lot
Hi SND I have the same problem as you are/were having no matter what in max i cant export a centralised pivot point, could you please tell me how you fixed this problem its driving me crazy!! on here or mail me alternativedayout at yahoo.com
Click on my name. Contact Me.
You Have to Edit Center Pivot Point Manually On 3D Program.. Otherwise it wont work. Anyway messge me wht was your porgblem we should be friends.
I assume these models will work with Maya?
People, prompt how to make, please, to a skull to open a jaw?)
Thanks a bunch, but next time you decide to do something for Halloween, could you release it closer to the first?
Thanks for the pack. But when I open it o 3D Max, it says no .mtl file. This file is suppose to be the material
Making special fx videos is my hobby and these free models just make halloween even better
Fntstc wrk Andrew… I luv ur each n evry tut n plugin…In 3ds Max 2012 64 bit… Rayfire tool is not working… It gives various error mesgs. Can sme1 help me plzz???

Thx Andy for that awesome 3d pack
It was a real inspiration for my new banner for my BF3 clan 
Happy Halloween All
http://pablo1713.w.interii.pl/HalloweenVIS.jpg
Thanks!!! Now I have more to my collection to play around with! Can’t wait for the tutorial.
Are you guys planning make more free 3d model packs like this Halloween…maybe for Christmas and New Year?
I’ve been on and off trying to learn Cinema 4D for years, but with products like Element 3D it makes it harder to keep with it. Thank you Andrew for your incredible products. Hey, how about a stand-alone 3D program? For some reason, YOUR products are intuitive, fast and easy to use…
That would be awesome videocopilot 3D!!!
How to use this on after effects?
I’ve known the software a lot from you, Thank you so much. Thought English is not my mother language. I watch the video step by step, and once and once again and again. Then I guess what you teaching. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this pack, just bought the bundle, can’t wait to download and play!
Hello Andrew, I love your tutorials and all content of the site, tb lover’m AE, thanks for the free pack, I’m waiting for more 3D tutorials with Element …
I leave here a small video hhehehehheehhe, the guy I’m msm video, vin diesel cover: D
‘m going in that class
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLj7Q_F1EkY
No comments, Just you are awesome person…Good man…and good teacher…
A Element3D job here, i guess :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Rp3MXx9AP0k
Using Element in most graphics projects now, corporate and otherwise. Recently used it for UK broadcast advert along with 3d motion tracking in CS6. Would have been so so much harder to do without Element. Andrew (and your awesome team) massive blessings from across the pond
Hey Andrew. Thanks for this pack… All the animated vegetation in the Revolution intro was made with element?? How did you do that?
Element looks great, I’ll grab a copy soon and see if we can use it in our pipe line.
I grabbed your free pack and used the obj’s in quick Halloween piece for our website…. bit of fun thrown together in a day. Can bee seen at http://www.sparklevfx.com ..
Thanks
Glenn
oh andrew kramer this toturial is profect
thanks.
I’ve been “on the fence” about purchasing the Element 3D plugin from the day it was introduced.
It’s actually near a familiar fence that I sat on for years regarding learning a 3D program.
I’m a part timer – so the demand was not strong enough to push me off that fence.
Starting to devote more time and focus to video production.
This Element 3D seems like a good bridge towards getting me off the fence.
The tipping point – looks like a good amount of resources (model pack, tutorials, etc) will keep coming.
Makes the cost look even better. Cause I agree – it’s a good price.
I wish the Halloween pack came out sooner.
Would have purchased the program (now going to anyway …but) and could have used towards a video invite I created for a Halloween bash.
I did use some of the Video Copilot “Action Essentials and “Designer Sound FX” for the video.
see link;
https://vimeo.com/50870159
I should have also mentioned that Video Copilot’s “Optical Flares” and “Riot Gear” were also used for the video I’ve referenced here.
For the sake of consistency – and for those that may have picked up on this.
Hey, check out this video that I made with Halloween 3D Model Pack. I hope you like it! Happy Halloween!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHNnDrR8a3s
Cool. I just had to do something with it.
It’s late over here.
I’ll check out the videos above tomorrow
Happy Halloween!

Hi guys. Congratulations to videocopilot team. I have just one question. Why dont you put FBX files for download. (FBX OLDER VERSION LIKE 2009)
Works much better that obj or others formats.

THANKS!
Thanks for the models! Here’s my contribution. I thought it’d be fun to animate not just the eye itself but the texture as well to simulate the iris reacting to light. Which wouldn’t be strange at all if the eye wasn’t floating around in a jar that is…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19MMFQSHjk8&
Thanks for the models!! here is a little animation I did for my works Halloween party. VCP team, you guys rock!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzuPr898_go&feature=plcp
Thanks again!!
awesome *_*
question to an other topic: the “Person of Interest” ntro changed in the last episodes? Did you create the new intro or was it someone else?
Hey Andrew i saw a movie today called “The Experiment” and there was a guy in the movie.I said who is he .Somehow i know him.I was sure i saw him somewhere.I searched Google to find him and i saw some photos that confused me.He looks like you.hahahah.His name is “Travis Fimmel “.Keep up the great work.
Is it free to use in a commercial application/ short film?
Do I have to pay license fees/ royalties?
Thank you, even if it is just allowed in non commercial projects.
You are 3D models are very helpful in our video production especially in my advertising department. My video ads of the subdivisions in Davao look great because of your brilliance ANDREW! Great piece
