Holy crap! When I think about how much time and money I wasted on a Skyscraper Texture Pack for almost the same price and had so many difficulties with creating a simple scene .... I could make that same scene in a few hours now and it would look thousand times better! I´m sold! Thanks Kramer!
I understand that some people buy it. A lot of businesses buy the program in bulk for like 15 computers at a time. But I'm talking about the individual. I love Photoshop, but I would never spend $1000 for it. So me getting it for free wont cost them a cent. I don't know a single person who has ever paid for Photoshop, but I know of dozens of people who have torrented it. I can't afford Element 3D, but I have it.
I have the money sometimes to afford big pieces of software like this but I completely agree that people who "steal" it do it because they really have a passion for it and want to learn more and DAMN IT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT! :D
OMFG! I could have used this a year ago when a script asked for a helicopter shot high above an office district. I had to cut the scene because it was just too expensive to rent a real camera helicopter. I just wish I could afford Element 3D and all of the cool model packs.
when i tried to increase scale shape, yes it spread but all the buildings look the same even though i picked too many types of buildings. i already put them in group 1 folder
If u have the same issue u need to go in scene setup (of element 3d ) . Click and hold on the building and slide to the bottom (u will see a line telling your building is outside the Folder-group) and do it with all the building till u have no more building in the Folder-group (and u can delete the folder-group if u want ) because element 3d will translate Folder-group as one object just don't confuse Group and Folder-group ^^ i know that sucks but its like that
I have element v2.2 but this the way is rather lengthy than difficult in 2.2 than in 1.5 or below. Whenever I scale the shape or group 1 buildings every building seems to overlap each other. Is there a way where you can maintain the minimum Gap between 2 buildings as possible without overlapping?
There is actually a drink called the Metropolitan. It was invented on Manhattan, and it's basically a Cosmo but with Absolute Mandarin instead of Vodka/Vanilla
Where can I download these songs or the performers. Very good but nowhere can I find these things that I do not know what to look for. Thanks for your help
How are you moving the Buildings Up and Down, WITHOUT moving the ENTIRE PERSPECTIVE of the Buildings. I've been trying to figure this out for the last 2 hours... and I'm going crazy
esse canal video copilot so vem pra aumentar mais a minha paixão no mundo do cinema. vcs sao muitos bons. eu respeito muito os vossos tutoriais. abraço do vosso irmão angolano. djipolo produções
I know this is a really stupid question but you need the latest adobe after effects program to use element 3d right? Sorry for my stupidity... but i guess you need to start somewhere.
hey, i downloaded the metropolitan pack but i don't see any 360 degree 4k background maps in my pack or content. plus i m not able to see my day and night version of the buildings. i downloaded metropolitan installer but its corrupt file so i didn't install it. Is it necessary to install metropolitaninstaller.exe
please help! anyone know how can i keep a greenscreened person on the rooftop while i orbit around it without the person floating in the air but actually staying on that same spot I want her to? thanks in advance
heyy andrew kramer i want to know that is there a limit of polygones to add in buildings or 3d objects for 3d element.(is this accept high poly models)
after exiting "scene setup" I follow the instructions, but all my models are merged into 1 model. It just multiplies the merged model instead using the selection of models
Hi guys, for some reason when I go to orbit around buildings with camera orbit tool it's not orbiting around properly. It seems like its not using building as point of interest or anchor point. So when I go to orbit on x axis for example, it just moves object (building) of screen to left or right. I figure its something simple but I can't figure it's something really simple but I can't figure it out. For now I've been parenting the camera to a null, but I'd rather just use my C shortcut to orbit
This is cool, but... "we have included 4K-maps"... and then it just pops up. Where did you find it? Its not really easy to understand what you did there...
It should be okay to download software free of charge as long as you aren't using it for commercial purposes. Its okay to download software for free to learn how to use it.
After sizing it up, I lose quality on the buildings. Is there a threshold where the city is too big, and loses the details? Can't seem to figure out how to re render the appearance, or what I need to do to prevent that, and it's too late to Ctrl Z.
guys iam not much proffesional in this,,iam just learning this thing,..when i went to element 3d it shows 0mb video ram in intel graphic card,,,actually i have another amd graphic card..how to choose that...since 0mb its perfomance is so low or any other way to increase the video memory...pls help me!!!
hi andrew, well i bought this pack 3 months ago, and i found out that when i zoon in a building a littel bit, the model becomes pixelated, when i zoom out, the building looks perfect, is it a graphic card problem or something ealse i can fix ? i have i7 3.6 ghz pc with 8 ram and a radeon r7 4giga sapphire graphic card, what do u think ?
8 Years later and this tutorial is STILL amazing! A.K. you are the MASTER!

instead of just having few elements to play with .. now we have a whole city to play in ... daaaaaaaamn andrew
Man, what you're doing at VCP, it's ALWAYS INSPIRING me, Thank You Andrew!

9:37 My mind was blown... in the words of that Star Wars producer - "It's so dense!"
Element 1.5 is really amazing. `Scan` effects looks good. Keep upgrading it.
Are you like oficially the god of all editors?
no he isnt
Chainoyyy ϟ debatable
??
He is
He is a vfx artist
Adrew, you are my AAE-hero!!
Would love to do a music video with special effects like these
Andrew Kramer, you're awesome... Thanks for this goodie for After Effects...
Actually, After effects costs 600-800 and element 3d is 120. The metro pack is 100, so if you want to add that up its about 920+. Have fun!
Andrew Cramer gives the best tuts!
Thorough

I need help pilots how do I make say a street scene zooming with camera because I want to put my self via green screen inside my city
love the tutorial, you're awesome man!
here are some good ideas, create a space pack, and a liquid simulator, so then u could make water simulations.
Watching this I can't even say "MOTHER OF GOD!"
Cuz then I will be talking about Andrew's mum. :D
You sir are the epitome of awesomeness. :P
I try camera 3D for AE CS6 from Element.. I can't move 3D with mouse.. help me.
Thx for the tutorial, now I have a new, cool intro! :D
Thought I would never need this.

Touche
this is freaaaaking awesome!

@@jean-lucduthion thanks man...
@@jean-lucduthion thanks sm:>
@@jean-lucduthion thanks omg
I've torrented a lot of software, but to be fair this is very good software and it isn't actually that expensive
Fantastic... One thought: You would never have antennae arrays that close to helicopter pads - think about it.
Endrew, You are awesome man. I like your tutorials
new vc music is nice i like it
When I change the shape scale, all of the buildings duplicate instead of one?
Can the models be exported to be used on blender or maya or obj files ?
How about a tutorial about implementing Metroplitan into a scene where 2 people are talking on a rooftop?
How come mine don't show up when I hit ok?
I have element v2.2 but this the way is rather lengthy than difficult in 2.2 than in 1.5 or below. Whenever I scale the shape or group 1 buildings every building seems to overlap each other. Is there a way where you can maintain the minimum Gap between 2 buildings as possible without overlapping?
did you find a way?
??Great work Thanks. But you can work a Tutorial about the explosion of a building or building crash Maybe in the future

Makes me wanna play SimCity again~ :)

Where can I download these songs or the performers. Very good but nowhere can I find these things that I do not know what to look for. Thanks for your help
How are you moving the Buildings Up and Down, WITHOUT moving the ENTIRE PERSPECTIVE of the Buildings. I've been trying to figure this out for the last 2 hours... and I'm going crazy
Anybody at all?!
put the buildings in a different group
push mouse wheel
Wow amazing I will be getting this soon
Nice
Boom! Glad you did this
great tutorial! where is the blue skyline 4k located? does it come with the pack?

Damn. Element 3D Advanced a lot since 2013
Andrew you da man bro..
Kramer you have done it again. I NEED this pack and I don't even have Element or CS6 yet dammit. Are you feeling generous and giving them away?
Nice nice nice, can't wait to put all of this on practice.
this tutorial is just krazy love it thank you A.K
it is crazy!!!!! good joB!!!!! videocopilot.
Yeah, since you're not actually putting it onto a 2D layer, it doesn't need to be... It's in 3D space so the camera picks it up.
I know this is a really stupid question but you need the latest adobe after effects program to use element 3d right? Sorry for my stupidity... but i guess you need to start somewhere.
anybody pls help Where i can found that big wide Background I Can't found it anywhere... Please provide any link
simply amazing
can i import this buildinds to cinema4d plz answer me sir ?
This method is not working with Element 3D V2.2. Please update the video.

sounds like the perfect use for Element 3D indeed :) did you manage to pull it of anyways? :)
We are in business!! haha Great Tutorial!!!

royalty free footy? obviously not as good but it could have been a cheap alternative :)

please help! anyone know how can i keep a greenscreened person on the rooftop while i orbit around it without the person floating in the air but actually staying on that same spot I want her to? thanks in advance
This is so awesome.
The only thing I'm not a fan of is the buildings intersecting... Is there an easy way to prevent that?
awesome tutorial buddy
Pretty awesome!!!!
just want to ask is it necessary to set the BG image to 3d so it can move with the buildings when i m moving camera ??
is it also possible to make a city where I can place every building in the place I want it to be one by one?
I love you man
Can I put an actor in this to for a video of someone flying around?
Thank you so much. You helped me a lot. Thank you sir.
When I increase particle count all the buildings are crammed into one little shit! How do i space them out?
+DildoPlanet1 Ever figure this one out? I'm stuck on the same thing.
In the scene setup, put the buildings out of Group Folder.
you are the life saver , bro
Thank you! :D
heyy andrew kramer i want to know that is there a limit of polygones to add in buildings or 3d objects for 3d element.(is this accept high poly models)
Sweet!
after exiting "scene setup" I follow the instructions, but all my models are merged into 1 model. It just multiplies the merged model instead using the selection of models
You have to put "out" all your buildings from the group folder and it will be ok! :D
@@Puposbali Thx you saved my life!
guys, I have a problem. whenever I import a building to after effects it looks entirely black besides the window, anyone know what to do?

Where did you find it? Its not really easy to understand what you did there...
same at me xDD so i just went on goodgle and downloaded some other pictures
It should be okay to download software free of charge as long as you aren't using it for commercial purposes. Its okay to download software for free to learn how to use it.
cool stuff !
funny how when you created the camera you can move it so you can look on top the building...when i do it it still just moves the still image:P
ur the god of ae
Nice, I`am going to crack this now
Hi !
Is it possible to export 3D scene or at least Models, from Element 3D, to other file format such as FBX or OBJ?
The font is 'Agency FB' Like so everyone can see! :)
Where do you get the skylines? I can't fined them!
An airport would be cool.
Really Super super Super . Thank u a Lot
How do you get those background textures? I can find them. :(
After sizing it up, I lose quality on the buildings. Is there a threshold where the city is too big, and loses the details? Can't seem to figure out how to re render the appearance, or what I need to do to prevent that, and it's too late to Ctrl Z.
Ok, answered my own Question. I was losing detail because I was scaling up with the mouse rather than scaling up with the camera tool. Sweet!!
i downloaded metropolitan for free but i cant use them it keeps telling me that its unregistered help meeeeee i need the crack : ((
guys iam not much proffesional in this,,iam just learning this thing,..when i went to element 3d it shows 0mb video ram in intel graphic card,,,actually i have another amd graphic card..how to choose that...since 0mb its perfomance is so low or any other way to increase the video memory...pls help me!!!
Can these work on Apple Motion?
When I rendered it, it messed up and only rendered the back ground, but in the preview it is perfect.
Use blender its awesome, you just need some practice to get realistic results...
hi andrew, well i bought this pack 3 months ago, and i found out that when i zoon in a building a littel bit, the model becomes pixelated, when i zoom out, the building looks perfect, is it a graphic card problem or something ealse i can fix ? i have i7 3.6 ghz pc with 8 ram and a radeon r7 4giga sapphire graphic card, what do u think ?
+mikeymike hanna you have to camera zoom. Go into camera mode by pressing 'C' and then right click and drag it should work
