Element 3D Essential Training
Element 3D基本教程

Element 3D is a third-party plugin that allows actual 3D models to be created from scratch or exported to Adobe After Effects, and rendered and composited at a high level of quality and impressive speed.    
Element 3D是一個第三方插件,允許三維模型導出到到Adobe After Effects，然后渲染和合成，質量和速度令人驚嘆。    

Element 3D Essential Training walks you through the entire workflow and feature set. Author Chad Perkins starts with an introductory project to get you comfortable with the overall workflow in Element 3D, including transforming objects, applying materials, and lighting scenes.    
Element 3D Essential Training將引導您完成整個工作流程和了解軟件的特性。作者Chad Perkins從介紹一個項目讓你容易并整體地了解Element 3D的功能,包括改造對象,應用材質和照明場景。    

The course then details how to create 3D text and shapes, apply translucency and reflections, animate objects, and polish your projects with effects like ambient occlusion and motion blur.    
接下來的課程細節(jié)是如何創(chuàng)建3d文本和圖形,應用半透明和反射,生命物體,并提升你的項目用環(huán)境閉塞和運動模糊。    

The course concludes with an advanced project that leverages each of these techniques.
