Summary
Until recently, using 3D animation with motion graphics or live footage required
compositing packages (such as After Effects, Nuke, and so on). Now, with the
introduction of Element 3D, you can create animations while doing your color
correction or working on motion graphics (all within After Effects). This can greatly
decrease cost and increase speed. It also brings with it the ability to create stunning
3D animations on the editor level. Over 50 years of CGI evolution (combined with
countless man-hours) brings us here.
In the next chapter, we'll introduce you to the Element 3D interface and prepare
our directory structure for your first Element 3D project.
