Element 3D by Video Copilot is a plugin that brings real 3D objects into Adobe After Effects. Described as a 3D object-based particle plugin, it lets motion designers import, animate and render 3D models without leaving their compositing timeline.
3D inside After Effects
Element 3D uses the GPU to render 3D objects in real time, so you can build titles, logos and scenes with lighting, materials and shadows directly in After Effects. Objects can be arranged into particle arrays and animated with After Effects' own keyframes and expressions.
Made for motion graphics
Created by Andrew Kramer's Video Copilot, the studio behind widely followed After Effects tutorials, Element 3D is popular for 3D title sequences, logo reveals, broadcast graphics and VFX shots. The current version is Element 3D V2.2, sold as a one-time purchase, making it a go-to 3D animation generator add-on for After Effects artists.
