It claimed to be able to do a lot more than it does.Īs far as the proprieties of AE made layers(text/solid shapes/etc) go, will one be able to apply the effect to an already animated layer(text moving from point a to b, set with the layer's possition) or will the animation itself have to be done from the plug-in itself(meaning it has it's own transformation settings)? The reason I ask is because I've tried Mettle's ShapeShifter and I'm left unimpressed. obj files or textures, complex stuff like that? I really can't wait for this to arrive, I know others have probably asked this, but will it be able to support. "This will the last �update� before the official release date" - This WILL BE the last update. So until then, let me finish-up and launch this baby! I really want to give a time estimate but that always gets me into trouble! The above examples were created inside of Element and I can honestly say that this is only a small part of what this plug-in can do. My hope is that when you see the amount of work and careful planning that went into this plug-in, you will understand where that time went and realize our vision together. We recently overcame an unexpected but important rendering milestone and we are now polishing the remaining features.
I definitely learned a lot about building software of this magnitude and will be much better prepared in the future. This community is a big part of why I get to go to work and develop such fun and interesting projects so I apologize for not keeping everyone better informed. Not just a couple of weeks but a couple of months which is not characteristic of myself or my company. Over the past couple of months, I let my excitement and ambition overshadow the time requirements for building such a powerful plug-in and I had to hold off on releasing it. This will be the last “update” before the official release date & launch cycle for our upcoming Plug-in Element 3D.
