Fun Fact(Tested on AE CC 2019): You can actually copy objects from illustrator and paste them as masks on a layer in After effects. All you have to do is select the object in illustrator (or all by pressing ctrl+A) Then ctrl+C to copy. Finally, open after effects and paste this onto the layer by pressing ctrl+V and each individual object will paste as a mask :)
Great video thankyou. What’s the easiest way to make a product like an amplifier into 3d. Is this done in elements 3d by building up the 6 sides of the amplifier then extruding out shapes and then grouping them?
If you wanted to model something I would not recommend element. That’s not what it’s for really. Maybe a plane or a box but you really can’t do to much building. If you have after effects- you already have cinema4d installed and its way faster/better/easier to use that. Outside that there’s tons of 3D models out there for free at sketchfab or even turbo squid. I’d start there unless you needed something g you needed to design yourself.
omg man thank you so much! I knew there was a way to doing this without having to pretty much learned 3D modeling. Essentially being a good drawer. haha.
I wrote one out, but never got around to recording it. Didn't see a whole lot of interest, so I shifted a lot of my lessons to other programs. Video copilot has some really great lessons on the animation engine however if you are looking for some. Be sure to check them out! -S
late but how do you model a speherical object. I want to make a lantern so I masked it out but it mad it into a similar shape as seen in the video. So is there a button or something that tells element to make the object a sphere.
Ifyou have a 2d image unfortunately you cant make it round easily. The best you can do is use the replicator in element to make a bunch of overlapping copies that would make it a sphere.
just pointing it out：i think the text and the outside line are the ones supposed to be red，and the top and bottom are the white（gray/silver）ones. it took me some time to realize whats different, but it just didn't look right XXXXD
+Hitesh Gadhia Hey there! As you can see from the example- each "layer" has a new color. So basically each shape can have its own color. You will need to add more layers to make that happen. Thanks for watching.
I got further with this than most, 8mins 43secs after following it all, selected autotrace, and nothing... hit precomp looked in Element - nothing. So after a few tries, rewatching the video over and over - I switched it off. It's been three years for me to be able to even face AE/Element. I'll just stick to what I know and leave better folk than me to do this stuff.
Element can be challenging if you are new to it. Sounds like something isn’t working with auto trace. Before giving up, try using the pen tool to create some simple shapes. Or bring in some vector paths and try element with that as a start. That’s the basis of this, and I wish I had started with that on this lesson. Thanks for your comment.
From 0:00 to 6:00 the best tutorial about element3d i saw, u explain it all like nobody else ,ty
Thanks!

That IS a really good tip!
how do you paste it? it's not pasting for me and im confused. do you have a video to help me?
@@skreeon You need to make a solid bg layer first, the shape you copied from AI will mask the solid layer in AE.
I was combing the comments to see if this method could be utilized (as I'm not too good with the pen tool, yet either). Thanks!
The Video is a power pack of information. Thankyou for sharing it.
one of the best element 3D tutorial so far... keep it coming bro!
Thanks- Appreciate the feedback. Element3D is one of these things that I think is going to be getting a massive upgrade soon.
Underrated channel! This is hands down the best tutorial on the topic. Liked and subscribed. Thank you.

Sik! Late to the party BUT super chuffed.. thanks for the halpingness!
The guy sounds like Ryan Reynolds haha, great video mate
its an older one but still works well. Thanks for checking it out. Hey maybe I can do VO work for RR someday!
omg man thank you so much! I knew there was a way to doing this without having to pretty much learned 3D modeling. Essentially being a good drawer. haha.
excellent tutorial, can you explain the animation of the logo in your video
Same concept just using the animation engine to animate the text.
AV-Ultra is there any tutorial for that

Video copilot has some really great lessons on the animation engine however if you are looking for some. Be sure to check them out!

@@AVUltra thanks bro
standing ovation, excellent video, thanks a lot
Very Good....Thank you so much!

excellent tutorial.. good teacher!.. we would like to see more about elements 3D
Great Tutorial. !!
awesome bro
It's an older one, but it's still relevant. Glad it helped you out!
Hi ! very useful Tutorial...Thank you !! Many times logo is multi colour... how to add colour in element 3d ?? for e.g panther color in logo... :)

Very helpful, thanks!!!
Top tip! Thank you.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
best way to use pen tool is to use small pieces meaning add points close
how can i save my logo into element with the mask for a preset plz help me
You can contact my privately for my consultation rates.
@@AVUltra all good i can just collect my comp and import it into another
could u make element 3D Tutorial form scratch...dont know most of the keys especially the surface and etc etc....thankszzzzz in advacne
Already did
