How to Use Element 3D in After Effects
Element 3D is a powerful plug-in that allows you to create and animate 3D objects directly in After Effects. You can import your own 3D models or use the built-in ones, apply materials and textures, adjust lighting and camera settings, and render realistic scenes with ease. Here are some tips on how to use Element 3D in After Effects:
- Create a new composition and add a 2D solid layer. Apply the Element effect to the layer and click on Scene Setup to open the Element 3D interface.
- In the Scene interface, you can add objects from the Model Browser or import your own OBJ or C4D files. You can also create 3D text using the Text & Mask option. Arrange your objects in the scene and assign them to different groups if needed.
- To apply materials and textures to your objects, drag and drop them from the Material Browser or import your own image files. You can also adjust the material properties such as diffuse, specular, reflection, normal, etc.
- To light your scene, you can use the default environment map or import your own HDRI image. You can also add point lights, spot lights, or parallel lights from the Light Browser and adjust their intensity, color, falloff, etc.
- To set up your camera, you can use the default perspective view or create a new camera layer in After Effects and link it to Element 3D using the Camera menu. You can also animate your camera using keyframes or expressions.
- To render your scene, you can use the Render Settings menu to adjust the output quality, anti-aliasing, motion blur, depth of field, ambient occlusion, etc. You can also use the Output menu to enable features such as matte shadow, world position matte, or depth compositing.
Element 3D is an ideal companion for After Effects artists who want to explore what 3D can do, and 3D artists who want a quick way to integrate their models with motion graphics and VFX.
