Tutorial | Element 3D : Texture & Lighting

I have created a Pseudo Effect called "Ghetto Normal Map" that does pretty much what Smart Normal Map does, and it works in CS6

You can download it here.

This series totally blew my mind and opened up a whole new world to explore with AE/E3D. Thank you so much!

aprreciate ur honesty, hope we'll see some car crashes or new particles tutorial

Great tut, thank you so much for summarizing and speeding it up. I hate tutorials that drag on for 45mins.

[sympolzion]

Learned a lot! Thank you so much for the tutorial. I love watching informative and inspiring vids like this! 👍

I could never record and narrate at the same time. I record the screen, then do a narration of what's going on, while watching the edited video. In some portions I speed up the video if it's something that doesn't need a lot of time devoted to it. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Thanx a lot. Works like magic.

[burnsius]

Thanks! I will be doing something that covers the concepts behind the lighting in the Reactor video, as well as a couple other ways to use multiple output modes.

[NickSouthcoteWant]

WOW! Hell of a tutorial. Great tips in here. Thanks for sharing.

[HeyGoosy]

This is amazing. Keep up the great tutorials.

[RambotEs]

Ohhh man.. Great as allways. I really love your work!!!

[GrantSchulte]

basically, the diffuse map is the normal image, like a picture of the thing. The normal map is pink and blue and is used to make "bumps" on the model.

You my good man are amazing! Keep it up!

[kiza]

YES! thank you I really looking forward to see that one. :)

[burnsius]

A normal map is similar to a bump map. The maps are used to keep the poly counts of 3d models lower by faking surface detail that the lighting reacts to.

is there a way to do this in mac, , that plugin has been suspended and i really want to learn this.

[MasterPi_TW]

Hi, Josh ! Thank you so much for all these tutorials. I am Asian and my English ability is not as good as western people. I like your videos and creativity. If you could narrate slower and not speed up the videos that much, I will understand and learn more. : )

[orlandocuevas]

can someone help me i dont know where to install on mac version?

[uglygiantbagsofmostlywater]

thanx for the tip. I'll give that a try.I also found a plugin called
'Pixel Bender Kernel Accelerator' that should enable us to use .pbk files in CS6 (not pbg though).

[kiza]

Great tutorial man, you'r pro!! Can you also do tutorial for your video "Element 3D - Reactor Test" I really like that one!

Hey, I built a Pseudo Effect that does pretty much what Smart Normal Map did In CS5, I have put a link in the description if you want to give it a try.
