New Tutorial Element 3D Transitions
A tutorial for creating transitions with Element 3D in After Effects. The effect is based on a tutorial that Greyscalegorilla did for creating the Discovery Channel transition effect with Cinema 4D and After Effects. This tutorial uses Element 3D instead of Cinema 4D.

FPW in Anaglyph 3D
Experimenting with Anaglyph 3D (red and cyan). I decided to use stills from some Future Pro Wrestling footage and convert them into anaglyph 3D to see how they would look, I also did some 3D text as well. I still need to experiment with the settings but I think the stills look ok even though it’s not true 3D.

You will need the red and cyan glasses to view the 3D images, I got some paper ones from Ebay.
Transitions with Element 3D
Based on Greyscalegorilla.com’s tutorial for creating the Discovery Channel rebrand cube transition effect, I wanted to see if I could create the effect in After Effects with Element 3D. In the end I had to model the cubes outside of After Effects but that was all. All the mattes, specular, and ambient occlusion was done with Element 3D. After creating the cube transition I wanted to see if it could be done with another shape, so I tried triangles and rectangles, which look ok but I think the cubes look the best.

Logo in chains
JEH Designs logo in chains. I modeled two chain links in 3ds max and used Element 3D to replicate them into a full chain that would go around the logo. The simple fence and padlock were also modeled in 3ds max and brought into Element 3D as OBJ files.

JEH Designs 2 Years old
JEH Designs is now 2 years old. When I started the site I didn’t think I was going to have enough content to post, but I think I’ve proven myself wrong. From personal projects to short films, Future Pro Wrestling trailers/matches, and logos for various things. I’ve had something to put up on the site, and I’ve learnt some cool things along the way.
I hope I will continue to have cool things to post and something new to learn.
Lights Camera Action
A short and simple animation using Lights Camera Action as the starting point. I didn’t have an idea what the animation would be at the beginning. I started with the model of the directors chair and then added things as I went, using Lights Camera Action as something to animate too.

Juice in a Can
This is a fun advert for a fake juice drink. I started with the idea of fruit flying into a can and then exploding, I then built the rest of the advert around that. I used Element 3D with the Fresh Foods pack as the custom sprite for Trapcode Particular on a custom path, which I rendered out separately to help things run a bit more smoothly. I had wanted to do some of the animation a different way but I think I was starting to reach the limits of what my graphics card and system could handle, the finished animation I think worked out ok anyway.

FPW Reloaded 2.0 Trailer
Here is the trailer for Future Pro Wrestling’s next event Reloaded 2.0 on 3/2/13.
As the event has a Matrix theme to it, I wanted to give the trailer a technical matrix feel to it. I used PlaneSpace to position video layers of previous shows in a video wall type of way. I even used the matrix creator preset, which I thought was funny! Other plugins used were Trapcode Form and Element 3D.
