Ave Haydar grandfather. from hacibala.

Will there be a tiny Sam Loya waving from the top of any of the buildings ?

come on guys hurry up hahaha

I just have one important question: but will it blend?!

Are there going to be destroyed buildings in the pack? Really wish there was a model pack for destroyed buildings, something post apocalyptic and such.

OHHH ANDREW I LOVE YOU. I CANT WAIT.

THE BEST NEW YEARS NEWS SO FAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THE TEAM AT VIDEO COPILOT.

LETS HAVE A GREAT 2013,

Andrew, you just keep taking it to the next level man! I will make 1 request. more Element tutorials please, my results are pretty good but I known they could be better, and there is no better way than your in depth tutorial style… thank you!!!

Andrew, will the buildings be customisable at all outside of changing the size and potition? I mean the design of the walls etc. I’ll buy the pack anyway, it looks immensely helpful.

Thanks for everything you do, as always, and happy new year.

Looks amazing cant wait for the tutorials that follow

There was Buddah, Jesus, Ghandi and then Andrew Kramer! Thanx for making visual arts being availible for humankind! and a wonderful 2013 for all the team!!!

Well, you showed the way to make buildings, but where are the detonators?
I mean, destroyed buildings! I hope sam loya helps me to do so, since he is a HERO!

This looks, as ever, phenomenal. Happy New Year Everyone.

Ah, yeah, it would be nice to have a few pre-broken buildings for our disaster movies! But I’m pretty much sold on this already (assuming the price is okay).

Quite amazing! I am looking forward to using this when it is released

Hopefully under $500, do not want to spend past my budget for this. Thank Andrew K.!

Andrew Cramer must be a jenious Guy,i’ve learn alot from him and always he come up with amazing ideas(owesome),videocopilot team you the best brothers hapy new year to U All. keep it up

Can you run this package in Motion 5? or FCPX? or you need advanced composition software such as Nuke, cinema 4D etc…?

best gift for new year!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Andrew, will it work with blender?

Andrew, this looks amazing, i am really looking forward to this
Just a small idea for element 3d…
Veihicle pack That would be like a dream come true.
Thanks for all the things you do,
Nihal

Very nice! Thank you for you and your team’s hard work!

The day after my birthday. Nice…I will have to look into your gift certificate program (I believe you have one)

Perfect…
Tanx Mr Andrew Kramer!

I knew you wouldn’t let us down…AK for Prez

Is there a way to generate some sort of buffer-matte-thingy that would allow us to place a layer behind close buildings and in front of further buildings? So we can have aircraft, Godzilla or whatever look like it’s in the scene?

People… i can’t wait for an introduction from our dear Mr. Kramer & Co.

wow that amazing! i cant wait to see your demo,i hope this pack can be used also in VFX and not only Motion Graphics!, thank you andrew for every tutotial you’ve made! i’ve been practicing for a long time, you guys can check this little vid i made! iron man briefcase suit from the movie.!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCNjGal_trA

*drool* Andrew, you have a way of making us want everything you create. My wallet will thank you to stop it already! No, keep going. The world needs your visual goodness. No homo.

Hello, Andrew and all.

Wow, that is very exciting news!! I can’t wait!!

How about the price???

That would be the same price of the other 3D packs($99.00)? Or,… more.

Happy New Year!!

Andrew,

If you’re going to make this available in a bundle pack that let’s you purchase ALL objects. I’m sold, I know I’m going to want everything for Element 3D anyway.

What is the estimated cost?

finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I’m really looking forward to this and your future packages. Many thanks for all you guys did for us in 2012 and have a fun and sucessful new year. Gott nytt år!

andrew you are amazing man seriously good work brow i’m brasilian and i hate the americans but you are fuck amazing man good work and bye

- Are they using Different Textures for Day and Night Scenes?
- How many Textures per Buildings? (bricks,glass,metal, etc?

by he way this was done using E3D.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkboPzGUaBw

2 hours til midnight. Plenty of Absolut. Baby asleep. Metropolitan release date announced. 2012 couldn’t end any better!

I’m really interested to see whether/how we’ll be able to design the street layout and backgrounds. Someone asked me about a video project that incorporated a city street fly-through, and I thought of this plug in. But then one wonders about cars on the street… I’m looking forward to your demos.

If that blue title was made in ae, which it appears was, I think I will die of awesomeness

YESSS!!! It’s coming!!
Thanks andrew!!!

awesome… Perfect, great andrew you are a professional.Big pack

SIR… make it free,, happy new year!

Really great news to bring in the new year. Fiscal Cliff on one hand, Element updates in the other. Nice!

andrew,,,, just go have tutorials with element 3d now??

Happy New Year Andrew.

Happy New Year everyone. This is the first best new of this year and it’s come from Video Copilot =))

Happy New Year Mr Kramer and the rest of the VC team, can’t wait to see what you guys have in store for us this year

Andrew, I need to know when the other paks will be released, i need to spend some money.

Happy New Year VIDEOCOPILOT TEAM MEMBERS.

“TALK to me—Where are my detonators?!! Where ARE they SAM LOYA?!!”

Happy New Year everyone.

Happy new year!!! can’t wait to see the pack.

Dear Andrew:

I need to sue you. Since I saw the metro pack I’ve developed a condition that will cause me to drool until January 22nd 2013. Who can accept service?

Happy new year Mr. And Mrs. Kramer and all the little Kramers too! And to the team! Met pack looks cool!

Great Andrew!
I Hope there ‘ll be more achievements about Plans, flowers and Trees, about Common Animals (bird, dogs, cats…) about Universal Common Transport (as civil Airplane style Airbus, Mc Donald, Boing, Tupolev… or Common civil Helicopter).
Go, go go!

THX!

wow ur amazing andrew

Thiss is truly amazing. I thank you Andrew, and the the entire ViseoCopilot team for this great Work. Thank you and all the best in 2013!

Wow! Awesome Looking! Its Really Super! And you Rocked.
Please Say It is high Mesh, It slow Down The System?

Happy New Year
Andrew & Video Copilot

New Year + New Pack

Thanks Andrew .

will it render fastly?
can we build a buildings

Happy New Year Andrew, and happy new discoveries
CIAO

Happy new year Andrew
Andrew could you please tell me why loading setup scene of element 3D brings debug error please help me

I would hope £300 – $500.. I don’t want to ruin my University budget on this. Even though I know that is exactly what will happen.

Good job VCP team Much love x

Also, I think judging by Kramer’s hints, this may include some preset designs that we can alter for our own desires, as he said the pack isn’t going to be like the others, and “wait to see what it includes”…

Exciting stuff!

IS there going to be a Trailer for this pack soon, Andrew?

Wow, im checking your website since you started, like 5 years.. and i dont even learning .Just checking whats up.

Hey Andrew and Other artist, Please check out this awesome video created in Italy, this is a commercial for a watch,, its so Amazing, Please check it out, and let me know what you think of it.. Real piece of Art.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaBNjTtCxd4&list=PL400132F5A3726A87

i guess that elusive Vehicle Packs will follow this pack? not like we need helicopters or planes to fly thru these cities? i’m excited for this pack but a nice vehicle pack as a bundle would also be lovely no pressure

Can’t await! Great stuff!

Happy New Year VC xxx

Hi anrew i have the one question for this element 3d..So why you are dont attached one littlle a beat biped system?..If you will can do that this is will be awesome!!..

look for this what i meaning : http://www.facebook.com/Videocowpilot?ref=ts&fref=ts

Hi Andrew,

What are the buildings like at ground level, this pack might be what I am after, I have a street view shot set in New York and I need to do a set replacement.

Thank you,

Rich

Really looking forward to metropolitan, very, very useful.
Happy New Year everyone!

I hope this can blow up the way like the SUV tut did?! Carnage will turn it up a notch!

No !
I can’t believe this !!

Love to buy this for cinema 4D, but what is the difference between this product and the city kit from greyscalegorilla?

is this worth buying if you already own that one…

Amazing work again!
So awesome that you can see inside the buildings at night (or is it just fake-reflection?)
The illumination looks great and very nice roof details!!

Go VC!

THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS

could have needed this a year ago. but i’m still excited about it!

AND THANKS CAUSE USING DAZ3D STONEMASON CITY MODELS ARE NICE BUT I NEED SOME REAL LOOKING LARGE CITY MODELS…

Too good. Especially awesome is the inclusion of Materials/textures for other software, particularly 3DS Max with Vray!

Please have famous landmarks, please have famous landmarks,
PLEASE HAVE FAMOUS LANDMARKS!!

This is the kind of urban sprawl I can get behind. Will there be more than one demo? as I see it, it could be a pretty deep pack, ref materials, lighting inside and out, atmospheres…
Also, will the demo focus on implementation into Element?
Will there be any bodies of water? as many major urban areas are coastal.

As always.. Kickin Butt. thanks for the excitement.

Are there roads in this pack so we can go gound level with the camera? I smell an “I am legend” set extension!

OH YES!
Cant wait for this pack!
VC you guys rock.
Keep it up!!!!

I just drooled on my keyboard -

So kinda like GSGs citykit then huh? hmm…

I’m from India you’re so awesome your tricks and techniques are really awesome and iwant how to composite like this video please copy the link and paste it on mozilla and watch the news opening
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGdVzyQmRV8

I’m a Portuguese seventeen year old filmmaker and I really appreciate everything Mr. Andrew Kramer does. I wouldn’t have this knowledge about SFX without his help. He is one of the most altruist people in the entire world. Please, check out the short film I made at Universal Studios:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR5pl16vhrs&hd=1

What’s the font used for the “Metropolitan” type in the image below?

http://www.videocopilot.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/metro_lg_2013.jpg

Thanks!

Looks AWESOME. I’m interested to see what comes next (on 1/22/2013).

Perfect for cheap aerial shots

a Sam Loya array generator. That’s is what this industry needs.

Can you tell us when an update for the Element motion blur “Open GL” error will be addressed on Mac? Every system in our company is having issues. Thank you for all your hard work and look forward to updates!

B

Hi, I’m from Argentina. I admire you Andrew and I follow all your tutorials! METROPOLITAN looks AWESOME.. i want to know if you sell your packs in my country, all of them!

YESS!!! FINALLY!!!! HOUSTON WE HAVE A LOUNCH DATE!!!! SOOOO HAPPY!!!

The guys who made the intro for MIRAMAX FILMS must be turning over in their graves, ashamed for the amount of work they invested.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TIhQyg27_4

You win again Mr. Kramer.

When will wing sale … Or is it free?

Andrew and Team(s) Yes you to Sam,

Thank you for all you build, design and create. For the new year I shall ask one favor, HID THE COFFEE FROM ANDREW! Sometimes I’m refreshing my chops and have to rewind a tut once or twice… Other than that, I will be expecting all the torrent sites to blow up when this hits, for me I BUY my software and don’t STEAL it. I hope you can safeguard your amazing work better, I’m tired of seeing all your cracked products here and there . When you type in Blah Blah tutorial, all I see is STEAL ANDREWS STUFF HERE!!
Thank you for making my life a bit easier and Have AN Amazing 2013..
Mr.G a unemployed Pepsi employee..

Yes, some destroyed building models PLEASE! Especially if they’re versions of the complete buildings so we could create before & after animations. This would make the set so much better. (I’m betting you already thought of this…)

Amazing… can’t wait!
thanks, happy new YEAR!!! guys!!!

I was so excited when I first saw this the other day I didn’t even comment and tell you guys thanks again for all the hard work! I can’t wait to build some great scenes. I’ve been doing buildings in Maya and it takes me forever!!!!!

what makes these model packs different from the rest?

After watching the T-mobile commercial it made me wonder if we can use some sort of effector to reveal window lights like shown. It would be cool to have control over this. I realize we are asking a lot from an already amazing product but now that you opened pandora’s box…..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8B3A2hcU5c

After reading all the GSG City Pack related questions, I gotta say this.

The difference will become clear when you make a fully textured city in C4D with City Pack, animate it, render it, export the camera in AE … blah blah blah… Then boot up Element 3D and knock 50 cities while C4D renders one…

Which format will be?

Wow Video Copilot METRO City Plugin, just smashed CityKit C4d plugin.

Like Godzilla Versus Tokyo

Nice job guys looking forward to it!

What’s cool is you could integrate this in Cinema 4D using the GSG City Pack. You could use these buildings as custom buildings,and then use the City pack to control them.

Andrew thank you so much for all this incredible things. Really there is no words to express how easy you make our lives.
Got a question for you. Why don’t you like Maya 3D!?
Thanks a lot!!!

Can’t wait for this. Been workin’ on a future city version I’d like to integrate this into. I suppose if we know what we are doing (hah!) we could do that easily enough by replacing some assets?

I can’t take it anymore! Arrrggghh!

Andrew, please, for the love of God… it is called “3ds Max”, not “3D Max”.

Can’t wait but I’m really waiting on the vehicle pack. Like cars, trucks, helicopters, tanks, airplanes, ect…

Nice work Sire Kramer… Will the lights on the building (night scene) be a material texture, or will it be a glow or light presets etc…

No wonder it is taking so long to get the product out to us. It isn’t even in our impatient hands yet and everyone is trying to make improvements before we even know what needs to be improved upon. How can Andrew possibly get this to our hot little hands and in time for the release date if we are giving him sleepless nights? I can only picture him tossing and turning and wondering why we are being so hyper critical on something we have not had the opportunity or right to be making critical statements about. Yet.
Good Grief! Calm down and wait to see this thing of beauty and then we can rip it to shreds with either love or why didn’t you do this or that. I have never been disappointed from any product I have gotten from Andrew and crew ever! But I do think a miniature of Sam Loya is a good idea. I want to throw him off a tall building!

Hi Andrew, do you plan to release your great plugins for nuke?

Andrew Kramer is EVIL! He takes my money… but it sure is fun! Ok… maybe he is not evil… but hey… he still takes my money and somehow makes me happy doing so. Wait… maybe that is sinister instead of evil!!! Or… brilliant.

Hey Andrew, i was wondering if these buildings can be destroyed like the pre-fractured ball model that came with element 3d?

Btw hope the models not too high in poly’s cause it might crash my computer LOL

You Rock ,
VFXKid

i just can say its amazing . thank you

Ah yeah!!!!!! Just what I neeed!!!! I will be the mayor of my own city!! I love how we all want to blow up buildings. My friend sees my clips and says, Warren, you’re so aggressive! Something about bangs and booms, ya’ll! Thanks AK! Is nobody asking for the interiors, too? I mean, let’s have interiors, and superintendants! Will there be alley cats and hobos? I already have a cardboard box model ready and waiting. Very excited, could go on and on, but shutting up now.

I just wanted to wish you all a happy and healthy new year. Thanks so much for getting me into VFX!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtK1Z7ojP7E

HI ANDREW PLEASE TELL ME HAVE CAN I DO LINK OPTICAL FLARES TO ELEMENT 3D?? SOMEBODY NOW THAT? OR WE ARE NEED DO IT ANIMATION WITH JUST KEYFRAMES …PLEASE TKE OUT TO THIS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF6C1auyzv4&feature=youtu.be AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I MEAN

Hi Andrew and VC! You made a wonderful and great job with Element Can’t wait to see Metropolitan. This is a promo that I made with Element and other products from you thx. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0fL1m-QkL8

Will these models be quads or tris? If they’re quads I’m definitely in. If they’re tris then their use will be limited.

Also… any plans to support Modo in the future?

Will this pack work with Blender?

wow… i cant wait this… sir can i request please make a tutorial a tsunami effects on adobe after effects like this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufw-cSCmHWU

I think I’ll have to go back and redo an old credits sequence I made with these.

Will this work in a similar kind of way to the citykit plugin found on Greyscale Gorilla? I don’t think it will be as customisable, but I still have high hopes it can do so much instead in AE!

Hi,
Will the building be destructable, as in, can they shatter or crumble due to an earthquake or tornado afffect?

you are awsome you are my great teacher ……. thank you for all these model packs ….. plz make more VFX tutorials useing element 3d .

i am waiting for this model pack …. upload preview fast..

thank you again .. H@pPy NeW Ye@r for all videocopilot team .

Nice a must buy, but please make it available in more formats. Using Modo here!

Andrew, did you ever watched CHARMED Show , if you did , can you at least try to make some effects from that show , they are great specialy fireball and fire transport.

Some video example? Please!

How are the buildings structured? Are window panes modelled or just textured? I’m thinking about the possibility of using shaders to create virtual room geometry, but that would generally require window panes to be modelled.

waitNg for demo show reels;)

Found a good use for the sports pack’s basketball
http://youtu.be/ABbUOsQIKA0

Also here with Optical Flares and other fun stuff:
http://youtu.be/rs_aDA3u5FU

That’s a heck of a lot of buildings lol but can’t wait to see demos of this

Hi Andrew ! I’m really anxious !! Can’t wait for the release ! This is really the kind of package I need.

Will there be a special price for those like me who purchased a bundled package ?

Thanks !

Hey Man,

i miss your Blog-Show Any update in pipeline?

Andrew when will an update be coming to Element,, AEFX crashes when certain expressions are used to map nulls to help resolve Anchor point issues with the models, or will there be a way to fix the anchor point issue to move it without moving the model such as the expressions created by the plug in elementary even when you create them manually

Looks great as usual! How different will this be from the City Kit by grayscale?

No tutorials for a long time. Maybe this pack should have it. Maybe 2 or 3?
Good job VC!

Hi Andrew, would you appear at me next birthday party?!

This looks amazing! Will you create a plugin for Element 3D that will allow us to use the Xbox Kinect to animate 3D characters in the future? For example: We import a 3D character into Element 3D, import environment reflection map. Once this is set, record two motion capture sessions (body and face capture) and connect the track points to the face and body skeleton.

Happy Birthday Andrew !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only Twelve (12) more days beeotches!

What happened to this site? It doesn’t have new tutorials anymore. Just products they advertise.

Congratulations VCP team, it looks like you’re about to hit another home run! I can’t believe how fast you all get things like this done, especially considering how small your team is! It’s hard to imagine that it’s taken less than a year to pull this pack together! Eleven days and counting… I can’t wait to see all of the features!

Shawn

Hey there Andrew! This is looking awesome as ever! I can hardly wait.
Will you be doing some video demos to show all of us how this new city pack can be used.
One of the guys here asked about compositing other 3D images in between the buildings.
Will you do examples like that?
Thanks.

!!!!
im hyped. stoked. crunk. ready. antipating with active enthusiasm…

Is there a price set yet? I want to prepare my boss.

What is the name of the font used in the METROPOLITAN 3D text? THANKS!
http://www.videocopilot.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/metro_lg_2013.jpg

Can I just say, in the words of the immortal Pam from Archer… “sploosh”

Hello, i have a little question.
with that pack does we can make our town ? umm like making town and add some people with green screen talking, fighting, driving or whatever ??

I’m going into virtual real estate!

we’ll need so much tutorial about this pack

customizable city interface? like the old sim city? maybe?
trees?
lights?
parks?
all this would be even more awesome!!
in 10 days, im most likely buying this. thanks drew!

I could finally make that famous scene with Spiderman swinging around New York or Batman swinging around Gothom!

Thanks for making my dreams come true again Andrew!

Can we pre-order the pack? If not this would be a nice capability for future endeavors. I know that I personally like to know that I have already paid for something when I have the funds available before s@#! hits the fan and I have to use my funds. I prefer to use the excuse that I don’t have the money because I used it for something that is freakin awesome. Thanks and I love your work.

very good andrew so keep)
