Element 3D just needs a graphics card with at least 512MB of RAM and, while Intel graphics are not supported, there have been some cases where they work. Typically, you will want an Nvidia or AMD card. If you’ve used E3D before, you are probably past the point of building 3D text and are ready for me to move on to the v2.2 meat and potatoes of Element 3D.

In short, group symmetry allows you to designate a reflection of your group within the E3D scene interface. In one of his demos, Kramer uses a futuristic door as an example, and it really makes a lot of sense when describing how Group Symmetry Mode works. If you have one side of a door created and want to simply reflect that side on the X, Y and/or Z-axis, you can enable Group Symmetry by clicking on your group and checking the Group Symmetry box. If you want to animate those individual elements you can jump inside of your group and designate each object to be assigned to an auxiliary animation.įor example, If you have glass in front of your door that is within the same group, you can assign the glass to auxiliary animation channel 1 and the door to channel 2, allowing the glass and door to be animated separately but still operating in the same group. Another benefit of group symmetry is the ability to texture the object and, because E3D processes the symmetry as instances any texture applied to one object gets replicated to each object within your group (with no slowdown).

You can even save your group folder as an E3D file to use in another scene. This feature is aimed at anyone doing 3D compositing over live action within After Effects.
