Element 3D Work

I spend a lot of time working in After Effects. Ten years ago, while working for Dixie RV (now Great American RV), I was part of a creative team in a small room, experimenting with Photoshop's 3D features. I struggled with After Effects' built-in extrusion tools, which were slow and demanding on my machine. Then I discovered the Element 3D plug-in, which integrated seamlessly with After Effects. I quickly immersed myself in tutorials, utilizing the tool to create practical and innovative animations and models.

Since then, I've crafted a wide range of animations and models using Element 3D. While it's becoming outdated, I'm now learning new 3D modeling programs like Blender, Unreal Engine, and Adobe Dimension. Despite its limitations, it'll be hard to replace how well Element 3D and After Effects played together.
