Video Copilot Element 3D V2 Plugin (Download)

Video Copilot`s Element 3D V2 Plugin features a redesigned interface and an updated GPU accelerated processing back end to improve render times and allows many operations to be viewed in near real-time. OBJ and C4D files can be imported along with their textures and manipulated inside Adobe After Effects. Within the plugin, complex 3D objects can be broken down into their core components and are able to be adjusted or animated individually.

To make the workflow as efficient as possible, Video Copilot has simulated reflections and shadows that don`t require ray-tracing. Without ray-tracing, rendering detailed 3D models is less processor intensive, and near real-time renders can be achieved without an expensive GPU.

Element 3D v2 is designed for use in Adobe After Effects CS5 or newer on either PC or Mac and is compatible with 3D models created in OBJ and C4D file formats.

Physical Shader System

Easily create more realistic materials based on real-world object properties. Modeled materials can be dragged and dropped onto objects to model realistic surfaces. A new "glossiness" adjustment allows for a consistent change in the model`s reflectivity between its specular highlights and the reflected background environment.

Dynamic Reflection Maps

Element 3D can cleverly create reflections in 3D objects without processor-intensive ray-tracing. It does this by creating a spherical map from the center of the object outward, and anything captured in that map is reflected on the surface of that object. This feature enables near real-time rendering of reflections.

Ambient Occlusion Light Influence

Creates realistic lighting gradients in shadows by reducing ambient occlusion in relation to the luminance values of an area.

Ray-Traced Shadows and Ambient Occlusion

For more accuracy and realism, you can use ray-traced shadows and ambient occlusion instead of the standard real-time settings. The ray-tracing is GPU accelerated through OpenCL in order to speed up render times.

Auxiliary Animation

Animate specific components of your 3D models by assigning those parts to one of ten available animation channels. You can use this to create simple moving rigs within After Effects. You can assign multiple parts to a single channel to have the parts move in unison.

Sub-Surface Scattering

Allows light to penetrate the surface of your object to have it exit at different, irregular points. This creates a look that`s ideal for rendering translucent materials such as skin, leaves, and marble.

Automatically Import MTL Files

If an OBJ file that you want to load into Element 3D has an MTL (material) file associated with it, you can choose to import that file to retain relevant textures throughout your workflow.

Video Copilot Pro Shaders 2 Upgrade for Elements 3D V2

Video Copilot`s Pro Shaders 2 adds a library of over 300 physical textures to Elements 3D V2. The physical textures in Pro Shaders 2 are modeled after 12 real material categories like metal, concrete, wood, glass, stone, and plaster. Textures are fully tiled to seamlessly integrate into your models.

Video Copilot Backlight 8K Light Maps for Element 3D V2

Upgrade your Video Copilot Element 3D Plugin with Backlight 8K Light Maps. Backlight adds 50 environment maps and 35 photographic light maps and arrays to the existing environments and maps within Element 3D V2, giving you more versatility when creating 3D content.

Video Copilot Motion Design 2

Add 500 high-tech and industrial themed 3D models to your Elements 3D V2 workflow with Video Copilot`s Motion Design 2. The assets contained within this package are ready to build and integrate into your production with all of the processing efficiency provided by Element 3D V2.

Video Copilot MotionPulse BlackBox & Shockwave Bundle (Download)

The MotionPulse BlackBox & Shockwave Bundle from Video Copilot provides you with 50 Full HD shockwaves and a library of 2000 sound effects ideal for Movie Trailers, Motion Design, and Special Effects applications. The bundle features MotionPulse BlackBox, which includes all five MotionPulse packs, and Shockwave.

Shockwave is a digital stock footage collection of advanced particle animations - or shockwaves. Each elements was simulated with real world physics and comes pre-matted for easy overlaying and coloring. Shockwaves comes in 1080p resolution as 24fps and are available in QuickTime PhotoJPG, H.264, and ProRes 422 HQ formats.

Add sound to your shockwaves with MotionPulse. Designed to complement motion graphics design, the BlackBox collection features five libraries made up of 35 categories, providing a total of 2000 unique sound effects. The five effects libraries are: Machine, Velocity, Organic, Impact, and Signal. Each sound effect is fully mastered and can be used by itself, or layered together to create new sounds. The effects are available in WAV and MP3 files at 24-bit, 96 kHz quality, and ready for use in most audio/video applications.
