realy cool man.good job.i want to ask u someething.1st time i am going to buy 3D element.can u explain more about it.bez i am new

I just watched this on my girlfriends laptop (small screen, low video playback) I must say the beginning was pretty good,
good colour balance. The dragon and flames however could seriously do with some colour correction to match the rest of the scene. Good work though :0)

I forgot to include the link. http://globotv.globo.com/rede-globo/salve-jorge/v/confira-a-abertura-de-salve-jorge/2203083/

If you are talking about the main chrome titles at the end of the show titles, then yes this is possible in Element. assuming you have that font installed on your computer.

So true!
Where is the like button?

Jules I'm wit you on all this ignorant selfish comment "I want" "We want" "RIP" "Give me for free" It remind me of spoiled little kid in shopping center screaming "I WANT THIS " Just be happy that he teaching us all new skills for free and that we share all same thing.. love for video efects. But you must understand that for us old Videocopilots followers who follow VideoCopilot from Jan 2005 that 150 video tutorial in this 8 years we already see them all. It use to be 1 tutorial minimum per months and if we lucky sometime even 4. Andrew is for us a part of family nearly 8 years and if we don't see him or hear from him many of us wonder if he is Ok ? What He is up to ? There is many tutorials around on internet but for us is only one Andrew. Also I didn't see Sam injured for loooooong time For me only problem with Videocopilot is deciding which is the funniest tutorial i think maybe number 13 Assisted Suicide or number 43 Demon Face Warp or any with Sam ? Until than for all Video Copilot fans check this... Andrew Kramer and Sam Loya singing 'California Dreaming' and 'Holiday Road'

I get you, LJ. It's an easy thought to have, like "Man, these used to come out so much more often...". I'm just wondering, what more do people want? Tom/Ibrahim says "a real human pilot in one of your airplanes". Well, that tutorial is already there. It has the numbers 10, 21, 45, 49, 57, 63, 72, 84, 87, 93, 102, 106, 118, 121, 126, 131, 133, 136, 137, 138, 144 and 145. Just because it's not called "A real human pilot in one of my airplanes (which I'm sure you'll find for free somewhere, please don't bother buying my model pack!)" doesn't mean that the necessary techniques haven't been covered. It's a bit like getting the Harry Potter Wizard's Collection for Christmas, throwing it in the trash without even looking at it, slamming the door shut behind you and screaming at your parents that, what you really wanted was the movie "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". It's unjust, it's ungrateful, and it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

And see what it has done to me. I'm hijacking another person's blog to vent my anger at the internet's populace. That feels a bit rude because, it should probably rather be about his blog. Good job there with that extrusion magic, by the way.

So true and for Tom and Ibrahim "a real human pilot in one of your airplanes" Just need to have look at tutorial 126. Mid-Air Emergency!
Composite footage into Airplane interior and he can put a copilot as a second person or just use one person and use tutorial 49 Magic Glass to create the illusion of camera passing through glass and zoom in on pilots and than use tutorial 84 Futuristic HUD and just modify for fighter jet. This is why I love video effects because only limit is imagination.

You are so right jules! That kind of Comments i cant take seriously. Sorry thats kids for me. The same who write on Jetstrike release: "Andrew when does the Future City Pack Release i wait so long" or better "please please sir andrew give us a new model Pack, best for free"

Now i need a beer!

Jules,

I?m going to try to make this reply as short as I can? I 100% agree and I had the same argument about 14 months ago or so. The ? I want, show me how, teach me EVERY step ? people on here were driving me nuts! All the knowledge is here why do they need their hands holding?

Let me back up an inch. I stumbled across VC about 3 years ago on you tube where the ?earth zoom? taught me what I was needing for that immediate project. A few short years later and after buying from, and learning from VC I?m on my second full time motion graphics position. The knowledge I have learned along with the creativity to make it my own has earned my family and I a comfortable living. For that I?m internally grateful to VC and the team and I show this, by implying everything I have learned and making it ?somewhat? my own.

All the information is here on this site, these ?kids? need to grab a soda, dig a little, and spend time going through the older stuff and have their learning ears on. I actually enjoy being given a project that I didn?t know how it was going to be put together than realizing?wait?.I saw ?something? on this subject about 12 months ago and digging back in time to find the answer. Its like mini refresher courses.

Now?forward an inche?..lol As for the fact our boys used to churn out X amount of videos a month, the only reply I have to that is THAT is when they had the time. The reason the tutorials are getting few and far between is our boys are being noticed, creating work for the big boys and providing for their families and I personally don?t think it could happen to a better set of guys. If they aren?t here with us, they are creating big titles for TV shows and movie titles?.I guess some just don?t get that. For me when they fall off the map for a while, It?s because I KNOW something big is about to happen, and happen in style!


Now like Tob said.....its grab a beer time for us adults in the room :0)

Hi Jes,

You will never achieve that look in this version of Element 3D. Maybe in E3D V2.. What you see there is a render of few shinny balls made with a ray-tracing engine. It has everything: reflections, global illumination, ambient occlusion (real AO, not SSAO)..

So, you can achieve it in C4D or 3DS Max.

Cheers,

@ Alaindeloc

I am not that convinced that it isn't possible in this E3D. Yes, you do need to take a very good look at settings per bevel, like shininess, reflections (custom environment) and lighting.

I don't doubt that E3D v2 will make it much easier to create but the current E3D should also do the trick.

@Vinnie

A lot of us tried to achieve that. You can come somehow closer, but only if you can trick yourself and declare satisfied. But the look from the picture sent by Jes, can't be achieved.
But if you can.. please share with us the settings.

Cheeers

I totally disagree. You can easily create this in 3D element. It all about using materials and altering specular and reflectivity. and how u set up the lights

Of course it is.. He's uses Lens Flares.. That makes everything Better )

As of right now you can create an extrusion on group 1. Duplicate it and change the settings. Then use the Animation Engine to animate between them. A good workaround!

I completely agree. I find it a much easier and faster than what I have seen with c4d too.

Probably regular jpg with clouds.. nothing fancy

http://ae.tutsplus.com/tutorials/motion-graphics/create-harry-potter-titles/ see this for great cloud tutorial
and 3d camera animation

I assume the clouds are moving/animated .

Beautiful. Thanks Vinay!

Useful technique.

No it hasn't

Where has this guy been...... He is joking, right.
