Ignition! JetStrike & Flight Kit are now available!
Visit Product Page!
We have also created a few new bundles to help you save even more!
Visit Bundles Page
NOTE: JetStrike requires the free Element 3D 1.6.2 update. Be sure to download it before using new pack!
Your Are The Best Andrew & All Of The Video Copilot Employees.
Thank you for your efforts <3 <3 <3
Does that mean, we can rig our own models for use in Element?
@Andrew Kramer: Could you specify these requirements please? Will blender (OpenSource) be sufficient?
:-D
And yes, you can rig and build your own models that can be imported into Element 3D.
Nice work as always!
Ironman is not in this pack but it's a jet!
Juste purchased the pack ! Thanks for the good work !
It's always a pleasure to purchase from you knowing that you and your team deploy massive efforts to bring quality product to market.
I just wish people would "purchase" instead of trying to hack-and-steal what you guys have developped !
Cheers !
is super super super pack
If I had them before, these projects would be a lot better.
I think I'll remake them. Take a look.

Very nice of you put the link to the FREE Helicopter model.
Very usefull, I was looking for it.
I read in one of the threads there would be a needed update to ELEMENT 3D in order to facilitate the aircraft rigging.
Did the installer for Jetstrike update E3D accordingly?
Although the rigs are not tied to sliders the anchor points are intact so things like canopies and doors open on the correct hinge. And with a little bit of work the rigs could be built inside your 3D program.
I'm asking as we really don't need any jets here at our company (even though they look great) - but the ability to build simple rigs for our objects would definitely come in handy.
I guess it is a good 'complain' that the model of the man is TOO detailed... I think he is around 8K polys and we optimized him down to 3 but it looked pretty bad so we left it at 8K-ish.
I just peeked inside Air Force One !! I can see the landing gears but there are no seats, no presitential suite, nothing !!
This is a conspiracy !
It's probably a decoy AF1 !
Many thanks for your devotion to the common folks!
I know Andrew and his team will do a Helicoper pack soon.
But while it won't happen, there is a FREE Helicopter model.
The link in the description of my video. It is the one I used to make the video. Take a look.

Cause u said u wil be uploading a TUTORIAL on jetstrike pack on the launch day..
So just wanted to know that wil u upload it today?????
So are u goin to upload a tutorial today????
Some things I'd be stoked to learn:
Proper camera techniques and scene set up on how to really create some great speed & dynamic looks.
How to properly animate landing gear bounce/suspension on landing and take off.
How to animate blinking navigation lights and engine burn.
How you created the shot with the Jet shooting straight up through the twisting clouds.
yesterday I celebrate my birthday. And tonight I will buy the "Sky Pack"
(a gift from me to me... :-))

I bought the hit distortion plug in. I license it. But when I drop it to footage it crashes my application. I test in cs6 and in cs5.5 with the same result .
What I make wrong?
I'm on Mac iOS 10.7.5
(sorry For my English. I m from Greece)
Do you plan on having a tutorial on how we would be able to rig our own models that we may already have? So we can have the same functions that you have on yours inside E3D.
I'm using AE CS5 with OS 10.8.5.
Thanks,
Bill
I've got one small question tho.....when I download the printable cover art it only contains the dvd case cover? I really would like to have the disc label as well if it's possible. I ask this because I own a CANON Pixma MG5250 with this printer I can print dvd :-D Would be awesome if I could collect Videocopilot dvd's like they come from the shop. So is it possible (if you can find the time) to update the element downloads with the dvd disc labels???
Thanks,
Shadow

I just want to simulate flashing ID lights.
I hooked up a Position Null, but that requires quite a bit of position adjustment when doing banking maneuvers, etc.
I did post this in the Forum as well ...
We've run into image copyrights problems with Boeing for displaying a F-22 raptor.
hoping you are preparing severals tutorials for this pack, I think that one is really important: how to create pieces of an object in 3D software so we can animate them in AE using the rig.
Logistics:
How would you set up rigging? With a bones system or inverse kinematics inside of Element 3D? This requires precise control over objects plus and parenting and object grouping, you would also have to draw bones and connect to object... Maybe this could be done but it seems like a massive undertaking.
Or, would we just import rigs from other 3D programs? Which programs do we support, all of them? How do we test every possible rig? Do we support every 3D program's and hierarchy and rigging tools?
The other issue is that the sliders in Element 3D have to be pre-determined on the Element. So things like Turbines and Landing gear are hard-coded.
It's one thing to spend weeks rigging these by hand to work in Element 3D which we did and another to include an entire feature set to allow people to rig any object. Not saying it is impossible but it is not trivial and we have many other great features planned for V2, I'm still kind of amazed we managed to get it to work with JetStrike :)
I understand it doesn't seems to be appropriate, E3D is set to make us win time, not to lose some. Still, one day maybe, that would be great (and hard for the team to develop such thing).
For the records, in my idea, the setting should be done in 3D program not in AE.
A theoretical workflow if I may, is to develop all the animation on a single timeline in a 3d application (so door opens on frames 1 -10, trunk opens frames 11-20, hood 21-30, etc etc) and bake that out to a point cache or MDD file. That file could be read in along with 3d model. Inside of element, sliders could be assigned to replay certain frame ranges of given animation.
Well, here's hoping that one day this is a feature. :)
I recently purchased the Sky Pack Bundle and can't seem to find the Design Sheets for swapping out the premade Decals as presented on the Jet Strike product page. Could you steer me in the right direction?
Meanwhile - having loads of fun with this awesome product and Element 3D. Very impressed with the quality and all the work that went into it.

I missed that file in the downloads. Gear up, flaps up, after burners on ... Good to go.
Sky/ground back plates are nice touch.

One question: why are the sky-pics mirrored? Placing as an environment map in Element 3D it looks a little strange. Thank you.

And be sure to NOT steal the footage ... ;-)
Does Element 3D V1.6.2 comes with option Aircraft Rig?!!
or this option will be add to Element 3D when install the jetstrik pack?
tq.
Thank you!!
