Now with the image that is 286x395 in which I used to extrude, I put it into after effects, center it perfectly, added a white BG to it in a 1920x1080 background, so now I have the texture map in the center of a image that is 1920x1080, when I put it in after effects and compare, it fits perfectly on top of the extruded layer.
But once I hit "Use Layer as UV" in 3d element the layer simply disappears and goes completely offset, I tried a lot of stuff and googled a lot, the only way I manage to make it work is through manually mapping it, but it's a lot of time to do it, I really need to speed this up!
Alright so I have this piece I'm working on with 9 individual 3D objects which are all parts to a larger 3D object when they're all put together. Element 3D can only separate objects into 5 different groups (per E3D layer). I need to have 2 element 3D layers so I can move all 9 3D models separately. But when I make two Element 3D layers the objects on the second layer are invisible whenever they overlap the other layers 3D models.
Edit: So theres two different E3D layers and I know they can't be two separate layers or one will always appear over the other. But I tried putting 2 E3D effects on one solid layer and it didn't work either.

I have been going through many tutorials about the mighty Adobe After Effects, and as of now I have the cc 2020 update. But I would very much like to know how I import my elements into the After Effects Libraries so that I am able to apply them into my master project. without importing a project file.
The same idea exists in After Effects scripting. Many API-accessible elements are part of class hierarchies that inherit and refine properties & methods. This lets the After Effects developers use existing structures to create new API-accessible components, and it allows script developers to use this same hierarchy to work with the After Effects DOM.
Element 3D is a plugin for After Effects that allows you to import and use 3D OBJ files in After Effects. It is developed by Video Copilot. Not only do they make 3D plugins, but they have collections of effects and visuals for use in your After Effects projects, as well as tutorials. You can find more about them and their products at www.videocopilot.net.
Hi
I have a question
I have a element 3d layer and a JPEG layer that i ticked it 3d, now when i use Camera layer, JPEG layer doesnt move with element 3d layer, is there any way to fix this problem?
Thank you so much
Keyframes are the most crucial component for animation, and because of this they are used on all sorts of properties and effects. As we learned above, keyframes tell After Effects where we want an animation to begin and where we want it to end.
Keyframes do more than just move a layer from one side of the composition to the other. You can use keyframes to change the opacity of an element from 100% visibility to 0% visibility over time. Or could you change the scale of an element from 0% to 100% over time. You can even add keyframes to effects, which gives your effects greater flexibility, and this essentially unlocks a infinite world of Motion Design possibilities.
A pseudo-element is a keyword appended to a selector that lets you style a specific part of the selected element(s). For example,::first-letter can be used to style the first letter of a paragraph. Pseudo-elements are keywords that start with a double colon: ::pseudo-class-name:
To return to our previous first letter example, we probably do not want to target every single paragraph with this style. It is more common to style the first letter of the first paragraph in this manner, like the norm is for old manuscripts. We can use the:first-of-type pseudo-class in combination with the::first-letter pseudo-element:
The z-index property lets us stack elements on top of each other within the stacking context of the page. If an element has a higher stack order, it will always appear before an element with a lower stack order:
It is also worth noting that the z-index only works on elements that have been positioned using the position property. If two elements have the same z-index, the one that appears last in the HTML markup stays on top.
To resolve this, we have to use the z-index property to change their stacking context by pulling the pseudo-element behind the button using a negative value. Then, we use the translateX() transform function to position the pseudo-element along the horizontal axis. Providing a value of -100% positions the pseudo-element adjacent to the element, exactly flush on the left-hand side:
For the last step, we will apply an overflow: hidden property to the button to hide any element that overflows from the container. When applied to the button, it will hide the translated pseudo-element and only show it when it moves back to position:
Thanks for the greate article, but i have small question about button, can you explain it. Why in body must have display: grid?. When i remove display: grid from body, the pseudo element display on the left of button, but when use display: grid, the pseudo element will disappear. and Sorry my english grammer is not good. Have a nice day
