When it comes to 3D model compositing in After Effects, few plugins have ever changed the way AE artists work more than Video Copilot’s Element 3D. It enables state-of-the-art 3D rendering inside After Effects, eliminating the need for a separate 3D program.
It also provides a range of advanced features, including 3D particles, motion blur and depth of field that make it easy to create the kinds of effects you’d normally expect to be done in a dedicated 3D program like Maya or 3DS Max. It’s also well suited to working with After Effects own built-in tools, making it an excellent choice for animating 3D objects that are parented to After Effects nulls.
One of the most popular uses for Element is creating food-related videos and commercials. This is possible because of the Fresh Food Pack from Video Copilot, which contains 35 high-definition 3D models of fruits and other edible items that can be textured, scaled and lit in Element 3D. This means that a producer can create the kind of food-related scenes that would be impossible to shoot with real-world items, such as a fighter jet plume or a giant smoothie spilling out of a glass.
In the early 1800s as he was formulating his periodic table, John Dalton came up with the convention of using symbols drawn from classical Latin and Greek for elements that were known at that time. His earliest symbols, like Pb for lead (plumbum in Latin) and Hg for mercury (hydrargyrum in Greek), remain in use today, though some of his later ones have been replaced by others such as He for helium.
