Presenting in LA tomorrow! Come say Hi!

If you are near LA tomorrow night please drop by my presentation for After Effects and whatever else is going through my mind! Last year it was great to meet so many of you and see your real faces!

We're going to talk about some recent title work and some new features of Element 3D V1.6 that will be out soon. One new feature includes the above image for creating an elevation map. Lots ofpossibilities! Plus I'll take questions and answers from the audience, always risky!!

Tickets:
Currently there are less than 90 tickets left and it usually sells out pretty fast. This month especially because they have really great prizes and food We're even giving away several Element 3D bundles too!

DMALA: Tuesday 3-12-2013 At 6:30pm to 10PM

Get your tickets now and save a few bucks!

Mr.Kramer, don't you want to make a vehicle and airplanes 3D model pack for element?! I keep seeing airplanes and cars you using in element and say to myself "where I can find those HQ 3D models for element?"
thanks!

Is the presentation gonna be posted on YOUTUBE? I just wanna see the chicks that stand next to Andrew (and Andrew's flirtatious comments and cheesey grin).
12 years ago
Can someone just help me out, please?
I'm talking about the blog where Andrew showed us a VFX/Motion Graphics breakdown of 'Revolution'.
Now what I wanna know is; At the end of the video the 'Revolution' gets revealed, but you can also see some flickering of the screen as if the video kind of crashes. Can someone please help me out with this effect? What's the name for this effect or is there a tutorial on the internet? Please help, thanks

Hi there,
Bad TV and Time Offset Effects. Google them and there you will come up with lots of tutorials and variations of the effects that you were searching for. I don't know the exact effect workflow on the Revolution Title but I think you can manage to do it with your own style learning from those tutorials. Good luck.

Almost sure, you can easily use TWITCH plugin to do it.

How'd this go, Andrew??!
12 years ago
There is a lot of integration between AE and other 3D programs in the process. But, they still don't offer the direct simplicity that Element does and those other integrations will be RAM and CPU hungry. I'm sure the VCP team have some goodies for E3D version 2.0 which will blow our socks off.. again!

Does the Announcement from Adobe & Cinema4D affect what may come in Element3D or will that be an enhancement to what Element3D does now? http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/03/and-now-for-something-slightly-different-ae-and-cinema-4d.html Just Wondering?
Daluz
12 years ago
If they'd just said "what may come" maybe even I could tell you. But, anyway not everybody uses C4D, some use MODO, MAX, MAYA and so on.
12 years ago
I'm guessing that when that 'marriage' happens, it's a ways doew the road. And if it's anything like other features that Adobe gives out, it will be slightly disappointing and lack certain features to make it perfectly integrated. I'd love to see it happen, but for me, you'd have to just make a native 3d application more like After Effects than the other way around to make me really excited. meh.

You should let us pitch ideas for new features of element 3d v2.0.

My first idea:
Possibility to bend objects and extruded text. Should be do-able for Sergio.
- Definitely More Slots for objects
- See changes in editor immediately in after effects monitor window, without closing the editor
- Clearer to see in effect window where group 1,2,3,4,5 settings start. BOLD? SMALL PICTURE? There are so many options, maybe make more clear by putting bold names for some things like ANIMATOR, WORLD TRANSFORM, RENDER, and so on.

In fact DAAAAMN SON If those clouds are a particle system then it's bloody good man! I'm so confused...
Kraig
12 years ago
In fact, just looked again with my glasses on and my brain engaged... It's the former Was it Particular though is my next question?
12 years ago
So this screenshot (stunning by the way)... Are the clouds a particle system in 3D space with Element utilising this new world pass to matte the buildings below and in front of the clouds or are the clouds just a 2D image with the world pass just creating an opacity gradient towards the bottom of each building? It looks like the former but still curious Nice work as always Andrew and team.

You Know I'm honestly glued to my screen now since I bought Elements. I love popping by VCP daily just to see what you and VCP are coming out with next. Andrew, You guys have so generously and brilliantly revolutionized the world of digital compositing through AE and therfore have revolutionized my experience with it as well! Elements is pure genius. Thanks for the great products and updates!

Cheers!

Hi @All
Something that I am working on. It's rendered in "Draft Mode" with out DOF and motion blur. All done in AE CS6 using Element 3D and the new feature "Supporting OBJ Sequence" .. Let me know how you think about it .. Cheers!

That is cool, I love esp the initial camera move thru the trees. Thanks for sharing! I'm itching to try the baked animation but I... don't... know how to bake yet!
12 years ago
Hi .. Thanks for you comment. This scene is entirely done in AE. The running soldier is an OBJ seq. which is rigged in 3D Studio Max .. There is a script for 3Ds MAX which allows you to export your animated objects as an OBJ Sec. And the trees are just exported as single OBJ models. Imported and textured in VC Element 3D.

You are talking about "Bake" .. This is actually something you will have to do if you are using some particle systems (in my case in 3Ds MAX) .. Because generated particles cant be exported as OBJ files or sequences. Here are some links which can be useful to you in order to bake an animation or export geometries as OBJ Sequences:

Bake >> http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/tags/animation-bake
Export OBJ Seq. >> http://www.videocopilot.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&p;=338393

I hope this informations are helpful to you .. Let me know .. Cheers!

Those clouds are not a mere .jpeg or a .png file, are they?
If they really are a static image file.. oh god.
Yet if you want to rotate 3d the camera, volumetric particles may turn out to be the primary usage.
I can only guess, just so excited

hey andrew, you have so many funs in Africa and other continents did u know this?. i think its better if you think of peoples who always likes your work and supports you, we are so many around the world not only chicago. its better if you do an air presentation. we like you copilots,we like after effect, keep it up

.:asART. Update:.

Hi @all ..
Here is somthing I am working on. It is rendered in "Draft Mode" so you cant see the motion blur and/or the "Depth of field" effect yet. But it shows more or less what is gonna be like at the end. It's completly done in AE CS6 using VC Element 3D. The latest version supports OBJ Sequences. That's how the running soldier is done. I've also used the "Metropolitan" package to create the buildings. There are 4 camera-sets in the scene. The first camera is rigged using the great "CAM RIG Script V2.0" from Maltaannon .. Feel free to comment and let us know how you like it .. Cheers!
