John Bigboote Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Looks pretty good for $150, check it out! http://www.videocopilot.net/help/element/t...d_introduction/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 For anyone that ever wished they could model an object in A:M and quickly play with it and render it out in another app, especially an app like After Effects... pretty dangedly cool!

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 25, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted July 25, 2012 Does it take A:M models? I didn't see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 It will take obj's... and with the new success we have had with our improved obj exporter makes me want to gamble on this... The specs are at the bottom of THIS page: https://www.videocopilot.net/products/element/ They have a pretty comprehensive list of which GPU cards work great, well, okay and bad: https://www.videocopilot.net/assets/public/misc/GPUs.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bigboote Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 I am very happy to report... IT WORKS! This is INCREDIBLE and my mind is blown with possibilities (a bad thing) I took the plunge on this hot new AE plug-in from Andrew Kramer of Video Copilot dot com, loaded it... grabbed an obj file I had made with A:M and it could not have gone any smoother. I had my object as a layer on the AE timeline in no time at all... and speaking of NO TIME AT ALL... this little 360 spin took AE a whopping 17 seconds to render. element3D1.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 This is one of those things (whose numbers are legion) that I would buy in a heartbeat if I actually had a use for it. Can't just go dropping $150 just for a new toy, unfortunately. But it's nice to know it's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yeah--- we live in an age of software bombardment... there is SO MUCH to learn. For a guy like me who lives and breathes in AE and A:M... to bridge the 2 together like this is amazing. ALSO, for anyone that ever wished for a new renderer (and a GPU one at that, Sorry Martin!) it is quite slick to be in a WYSIWYG realtime environment... just no raytraced reflections though(a major downside). But if you do a lot of 3D logos and text... this will invigorate your world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see that it makes great use of the A:M exporter. Anyway sorry for being a bit off topic, but I've read a thread in here about someone using A:M to model and animate and then render it in another mainstream 3d software, I think it was XSI or something. I think it was for some ad where there's a sue of cloth simulation. Could you or anyone please else point me to that thread because I need to know more about the topic. Thank you and I would appreciate any reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
