It's 2023, and I am so amazed to see this, trust me. I always that 3d is so tough to learn, but my perspective just changed today. It's so interesting. This tutorial was 8 years old, but to me, it's just 1 day old. Thanks for making such a good plugin for after effects. It's never late to learn something new
I gave a like to the this video and I sub, love the channel, but as a Brazilian living in Brazil, may I should say the "real" ( Brazilian money) is worth five times less than the dollar, so for me, the plugin is very very, veeeryy expensive, I mean I can't buy, maybe if I save money for 1 year or more, so "affordable not for everybody, maybe for people living in first world countries its affordable.
One way to deal with the holes in the extruded text created because of two letters overlapping is to type the text in Illustrator, then vectorize it and then use the "Shape Builder" tool. Then you copy the shape on a solid layer in After Effects. No more overlapping issue.
you are awesome sir. I've just taken my first semester in after effects and am loving all you teach here as well as your attitude. Got me smilin and hungry for more
Scary powerful tool and another great tutorial Andrew! I'm always making notes about which fonts you use so thanks for calling that one out early in the video!
Yes, its not a dumb question, After you applying element 3D and look for the effect controls, In there go to Element > Render Settings > Physical Environment > Rotate Environment There will be the x,y and z axises, with them you can rotate the full environment in Element 3D.
What can help is to rotate the environment map till you get a nice reflection. And of course color correction can be used on top as well on the layer. :)
I'm facing this weird problem - whenever I turn up the reflectivity of my text, it (or anything else, really) goes black. Some specs of reclection are still visible, but that's pretty much all, a black reflection, if you will. If you could help, I'd be really greatfull. :)
Dont understand why it does not work in the first steps for me. As soon as I adjust the color diffuse to black and the reflectivity to 100%, I get completely black letters and not a chrome effect ! Someone has a solution? Or a forum which I could ask the question on?
This is so cool!!! Is it possible to do the same thing for a jpg (logo) instead of text? I wanna buy this, but I'm really curious if it can be done! Your work is so awesome i cant stop watching your vods!
Hey Andrew Kramer, I have a Little issue with Depht of Field inside of Element 3D. After Effects just crahes when I activate it. I have a really beastful Workingstation with a 2080 Ti and 32 Core CPU. Do you know, what is going on?
Excellent tut!!! thanks. You mentioned a Project file, where is it? Also, even though I am holding shift, my environment doesn't rotate. Is there a way to do this manually from the settings in the E3D interface? What if I need to see details that are in the darkness? can I create light and place them in the E3D interface?
Probably a bad idea. He generally uses 3ds max but if he would start using c4d the people that watch this purely for AE would leave. Definitely counter-productive.
Hey, I'm going to try doing some 3D stuff on AFX for the first time, could you please tell me how long does it take to render a 10-sec video with 3D material in it?
First these guys come up with awesomeness called Element 3D and I'm like ''I have to get this..'' then I notice that my graphics card isn't up to date and impossible to change cuz I got a laptop. Now they got a second version and I want it even more! Guess I'll have to buy a new computer that can run anything and everything..

I want to add a "decal" to the door of a 3D car model. I wish it was as easy as you show in one of your videos, but this model does not have the "exploded view" texture of the entire vehicle. If it did, it would be easy to add the art to the door. This model just uses a square "swatch" applied over the whole vehicle (I hope you understand what I mean). In this instance, how do I add an image to the door. I want it to look like a business logo on the vehicle door. Any help is appreciated!
Without a UV layout, it is highly unlikely to work, unless you add a dot adn slowly r-render it each time you move it, to orient and locate where it will land on the model.
in your element 3D layer press AA and you should be able to see accept lights turn that off. still cant find it let me know And I Will Send you A Few Screen Shots of how to do it
Please HELP!! After I finish working in scene setup screen and click ok I cant any preview? What could be wrong with my element 3d layer? I click on scene setup and i can see my content there but coming out of scene setup the content is not visible?
this seems great, but I can't get past the start of the chrome text tutorial. I set the diffuse colour to black and reflectivity to 100% just as he did, but did not get a shiny chrome-like finish like he did. 😭

I can't even begin to understand how anyone could give a thumbs down to this video. This plugin is outstanding and VERY affordable.
I can't understand how anyone could give it a thumbs down either, but what is affordable is a pretty relative thing.

I am litterlly awestruck. THis is the amazing stuff. and U made it in 2015. Legend
YOu know what? This is Mind Blowing! I decided to spend my entire week learning Element 3D. Why the hell haven't I done in before!?????
I don't have words to say.
It is a legendary animation
damn it gives me goose bumps every time i watch the intro with that vrooommmmmmm
hey i used to watch these 6-7 years ago when i used to edit call of duty videos a lot, now im back DURING QUARANTINE! lol!
I can't wait to start using element 3d though I do use cinema 4d and Maya but element 3d makes it much easier, great one sir

How did you make the lettering shine on the edges? 0:19
What kind of light are you using on top of the scene at 0:16?
Thank you for answers!
This really really outstanding...
I just love this guy
Respect Man ! ur the best
A possibly dumb question : At 11:33 Is there a way to animate the rotation of the background like that ? Thnx.
Yes,
its not a dumb question,
After you applying element 3D and look for the effect controls,
In there go to Element > Render Settings > Physical Environment > Rotate Environment
There will be the x,y and z axises, with them you can rotate the full environment in Element 3D.
tooooooo much information in one video 😙😙😙
Hoping someone will answer, 8 years later!
How did you get that gleam around the lettering in the blue "Vintage" example at 0:18 ?
What can help is to rotate the environment map till you get a nice reflection. And of course color correction can be used on top as well on the layer. :)
VRAIMENT UN SUPERB TUTO MERCI ANDREW ...CONTINUE
Very good tutorial
A VERY BIG THANKS TO |VIDEO COPILOT| NICE JOB.!
Well, that just totally explained so much I wasn't getting :-)
Same here!!
Thnks Men, it's a coolest thing following your videos
That was the amazing logo.

Amazing work!
Youre so awesome man ty for these 🙏
I'm facing this weird problem - whenever I turn up the reflectivity of my text, it (or anything else, really) goes black. Some specs of reclection are still visible, but that's pretty much all, a black reflection, if you will. If you could help, I'd be really greatfull. :)

It's Really Awesome
Stunning
Is there any way to animate individual letters? Like if you have the Word "Awesome", is there a way to just animate the "A"?
wow very nice 👍🏻
Sweet! New video copilot tutorial! :D
Dont understand why it does not work in the first steps for me.
As soon as I adjust the color diffuse to black and the reflectivity to 100%, I get completely black letters and not a chrome effect !
Someone has a solution? Or a forum which I could ask the question on?
Use a more detailed environment map.
Hello Andrew...... How do you made the circle layer........ is this a custom shape..... or just a solid..... i am totally confused......
Hey whhats sup, Jason me here, just watched another awesome tutorial. thx dude!!!
Now I can make the text I always wanted to.
Thanks Andrew!! This cleared up a ton a questions I have had. Still learning Ae and all your software :)
Coool as always!
This is so cool!!! Is it possible to do the same thing for a jpg (logo) instead of text? I wanna buy this, but I'm really curious if it can be done! Your work is so awesome i cant stop watching your vods!

how do you import logos or pictures? I tried to import my transparent logo, but it doesn't work...
You Rock man ! Thankz !
sorry but...whats software did you use to make this text...??
15:15 I want to do that with a png image and it's impossible, it doesn't appear like you do with your font. :(
You are the best thanks pro ...
Thanks for you ! Best best best !!!!
You might expand your market share by using C4D for these tutorials. It's pretty much the standard alongside AE.
Probably a bad idea. He generally uses 3ds max but if he would start using c4d the people that watch this purely for AE would leave. Definitely counter-productive.
C4D is designed to work in tandem with AE. I reckon there are more positives than negatives to the idea.
That's generally the workflow I've seen in the field. In my professional opinion.
Hey, I'm going to try doing some 3D stuff on AFX for the first time, could you please tell me how long does it take to render a 10-sec video with 3D material in it?
my 10 sec video took 4 minutes all 3D text ! i'm using a lenovo Y50 :)
Wow, that's actually really fast! I mean 10 sec animation in blender takes like one hour to render. :)
Rewben Prstec hey, but i was on only qHD resolution (960x540) :P in full HD it might take more
GAMEBOY2820 Oh, well now it makes much more sense :P Thanks doe!
OMG You Are Mind Blowing

Go fuck yourself.
I am using Intel graphic card which doesn't supports element 3D, sad case.
For those who's text is turning out way too dark, you might need to simply update your version of E3D. That actually worked for me.
What software you are doing ??? what is it software?
hey dude i love your work! just wonder what your job's called ?
Wow .. amazing ♥

this seems great, but I can't get past the start of the chrome text tutorial. I set the diffuse colour to black and reflectivity to 100% just as he did, but did not get a shiny chrome-like finish like he did. 😭

Is it possible to use Element 3D version 1 for this tutorial?
Yea? is it possible? can anyone let us know please?
No it's not possible!
You can not create that Plane Model with Version 1

This is just complete bs then, since he is forcing customers to upgrade to a newer version which cots money.
superb
2:23 My text is black. Why????
Same
if it is a 3d layer text you need to go to materials in the element 3d layer you created and turn off accept lights hope that helped
