Hi guys am I missing something here, when I put my vehicle in the scene, once the video starts my vehicle moves away, not much but certainly noticable? where as in Mr Kramer's vehicle keeps put in the same spot when the video plays.. any help would be much much appreciated :)

04/04/2013

You should release your jet and helicopter and all ur car models in a "vehicle model pack"

03/09/2013

I a following along exactly as the video but....nothings is responding as it should. When I scale down the nulls they totally goes missing and also they jump around alot. Well I guess that´s why not all work with FX huh? ;)

02/22/2013

Having a bit of trouble with the tracking technique.. as far as lining up the nulls on an axis. I follow the step carefully. But, I think I might be missing something.

02/15/2013

hey see if its ok ! https://vimeo.com/59764413

02/14/2013

This tutorial is super helpful...especially the scene scaling for easier workflow. This makes my life so much easier. Thanks!

02/06/2013

Plz Provide 3D Truck model.....
very great tutorial

01/29/2013

Great tutorial as usual. Very clear talk-down and walk-through as usual also, however I'm a little at a loss to understand at around 5:40 when you shrink the null point distance to fit more into the center of the scene how the points stay aligned to the track that was done. As you demonstrated in the video, they obviously do still stay in position relative to the track after doing this. Given, I am new to 3D tracking but this particular concept perplexes me. Seems counter intuitive to me but yet there it is. Thank you for all the beyond expert tutorials and insight into how to use AE effectively.

12/15/2012

on the explosion you should have added a zpass so that the explosion didn't look like it was just behind the truck. Ironically you were the one who taught me about zpass! hahah. Awesome tutorial! thanks again Mr. Kramer

10/17/2012

problem with camera approaches the impossible to acquire the rendered image help me please

10/06/2012

I cant believe how popular this guy has become, although his videos don't seem to get that many views compared to other videos, but thats because there arnt that many people who film, each video gets about 20000 views each, but if you ask any pro or semi-pro film maker they will say the video copilot is one of the best resources a filmmaker can have. I think i have even seen (or hear) his products in high budget films, there such good quality. This guy has done so much for the film industry. Its awesome!

10/01/2012

Like a magic. Nice shot!

09/26/2012

Wow, CS6's Tracking system is a HUGE improvement! *nerd noises*

09/17/2012

Hi, Andrew!
This tutorial is amazing! I like when the things explode. kkkk
Visit Brazil!!!

09/12/2012

i'm fairly good and this camera tracking stuff, and can get my element model to lock into the scene fine, except when the camera movement is like in this tutorial, on the z axis, or forward in the scene. my model slides when i do this. i've done the tutorial step by step and on my own clips but the model slides every time the camera makes that movemet. any ideas would be helpful.

02/22/2013

Hi guys,
Did you fix the problem by changing the anchor point position? I've tried several time the tutorial, but still sliding!

01/26/2013

I was having the same issue and I think I figured it out. I was trying to place a Humvee in the scene, and it kept sliding. It turned out it was because the model's anchor point was all screwed up. Try using one of the VCP models and see what happens. If it locks to the ground plane, then you know that you'll need to adjust the anchor point settings for your custom model until it locks.

Good luck.

10/21/2012

Any Luck for you guys? The bottom AP did the trick for my sliding problem!

10/09/2012

Great tutorial! The problem I'm having, is not only the car sliding, but also when I switch to the "top view" when adding the shadows, the model doesn't rotate to the top view, or change sizes like in the video. It just shows the top view, (with the null object locations) but the model is exactly how it appears when in active camera mode. I keep going over the tutorial, and I do the exact same thing as the tutorial, but it's now working for me.

However I can add the shadows pretty accurately by just moving the shadow comp in active camera mode. I just wish it would do the same thing as on the tut.

10/03/2012

I haven't had time to complete the tutorial yet and I'm sure there's probably a better way but here's what I do. Turn on the track solid (where you want to place your Element object). Go to Custom View and manipulate the position of the Element object until it's "on top" of the track solid (use the camera orbit tool to move around so you can see what you're doing), then turn the track solid off (to make sure you can see it all, click on View/Look at all layers). Your object shouldn't slide then. Also, be sure that in the Scene Setup, the object center is set to "bottom" and not "object center".

09/26/2012

any help on this yet? or at least a reason why this happens, glad to see im not the only one. i paid good money for element 3d and would like to know why this isnt working for me.

09/18/2012

The same thing keeps happening to me. I have gone back through the tutorial multiple times, but I can keep the object from sliding.

09/12/2012

Hi Andrew, Why do you put so much effort in Max and not Maya, Why dont you do something for music users. We are waiting.

09/07/2012

beautiful .. it was time to insert elements in 3d after effect! the only problem is that I do not have money for this plugins ... andrew me gifts please: (

09/07/2012

hello :)

09/07/2012

hi andrew, i just made a car in max and exported the obj for element, but i cannot simulate the car paint shader in element could you help me, sorry for my english
appreciate for your atention

09/06/2012

So nice man..

09/05/2012

Nice one!!! just one question, where can I find that model??

09/18/2012

I can find it either.

09/07/2012

in Element 3d i think

09/04/2012

hey... I don't have CS6 or the camera tracker plugin, but i do have blender, which does have a 3d tracking feature, but it requires the focal length, sensor width and pixel aspect ratio of the camera. I don't think that you said any of that, and i was wondering if you had that info.

09/04/2012

When i create a new solid and i want to add object,it turns black.

09/03/2012

nice man, you are the best

09/03/2012

waaaw ,, thans man

09/03/2012

nice very nice

09/02/2012

its so important to know you NEVER move null object to line them up...but to rotate camera...Andrew thank you so much...

08/27/2012

wow

08/21/2012

This is very helpful. I can learn more about 3d tracking, composting and color correction from just this tutorial.

08/04/2012

Andrew, always amazing products and tutorials.... i was wondering if you're planning on releasing another 3D model pack that would include stuff like.... planes, trains and automobiles.... like this truck in this tutorial.

08/03/2012

Excellent plugin.
I've been waiting to include 3D models in AFX for a long time.
Andrew did it. And more....
Bravo

08/03/2012

08/03/2012

How about render time Andrew?

08/03/2012

You're amazing. thanx alot for these informations

08/03/2012

i need to study it.........

08/02/2012

Thanks so much! I'm glad to see using this plugin for cg looks so good. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

08/02/2012

u made me so scared u said...so lets just jump in and ((SHOW YOU)) ehehheehhehe scary sound at 14:35

08/02/2012

Hey Andrew what you do - it's just very best.
But here I am, what I want to ask, can this be done in Adobe After Effects CS 4, I just have 32 system. And you, CS 6 for 64 systems.
Even if Andrew did not write, can anyone knows how to do something like that.
thank you

08/05/2012

I don't think so. in CS6 improvement of Editing is Applied, for the older version there some adjusting tools to enhance but not just like as CS6.

08/02/2012

Hey Andrew, I'm having trouble with making the object stick to the surface using the foundry tracker, could you please help!

08/02/2012

Can you make a basic motion tracking tutorial for element. This one was kind of confusing to me. And The a-bomb has a problem when I try to import it into after effects. Please reply... Thanks

08/02/2012

Holy #%&!. This is amazing! Your tutorials are the best!

08/02/2012

hi

08/02/2012

Dude, we were concerned about their lack of video lessons ...
Thank God you came back with exciting news. The 3D element is fantastic!
Thanks again for your work! I want more success, thanks!

08/02/2012

Excellent video and what a difference that shaddow makes! I'd really like to understand the theory behind the setup of the tracking data (4:50-8:00) I feel this is key to making it easy to just drop 3d objects in there (like 12:25-13:10) and have them move (or should that say stay still!) with the scene. I seem to be doing this the hard way but am the kind of person who only remembers things once I understand the theory behind it.

08/02/2012

very cool man

08/02/2012

Very COooooOL.

08/01/2012

Hey, I could sure use a tutorial on using an outside model. You covered it super briefly but as I download free models to play with, I'm finding the process of associating the bump maps to be seriously challenging! Thanks.

08/01/2012

very nice!

08/01/2012

Anybody notice the effect LiveCam at 9:39? Never seen that one before, new plugin coming up? :D

08/02/2012

In 2010 Andrew tweeted about it but I don't know what happened since. Here are some of his tweets:

"Keep an eye out for our new plug-in for adding natural camera movement and shake... It's pretty geeky but the results are unmatched."

"There are a several ways to add camera shake in AE with expressions or tracking but our upcoming plug-in LiveCam is pretty interesting."

"LiveCam can even add simulated Rolling Shutter! We used it to make some HD footage look like a cell phone cam."

08/01/2012

it´s probably something he developed for recording tutorials!

Poor thing cs6 ruined your camera tracker plugin O:

08/02/2012

Camera Tracker was created by the Foundry around two years ago.

08/01/2012

When I attempt to use the Element 3D Plugin while following this video, and apply it to the Solid Layer, the program freezes for a second, and then says "Adobe After Effects CS6 has stopped working". Does anyone know what is wrong, and if so, can you help me?

Thanks

08/01/2012

I had that problem too. I contacted their customer support, and they had it fixed within a week.

08/01/2012
