What kind of software do I need?

50% DISCOUNT ON ELEMENT 3D

Adobe After Effects + Element 3D v.2.2 or higher

Most of the work will be done with the help of these tools. Element 3D allows importing models, texturing them, uploading HDR cards, animating and even modeling in After Effects a little bit.
Cinema 4D or any other 3D Software

For preparing objects and simple modeling, we will use Cinema 4D. But the principles that we are going to talk about are applicable to any other editor. That’s why you can use the one you already have, be it Blender or Maya, 3DS Max or any other.
Having applications and scripts is a plus

It’s cool if you have such applications as Adobe Illustrator, RedGiant Trapcode Form and Data Glitch. This is optional, but they might save you time.

About the Author
Eduard Mykhailov

My name is Eduard and my job has literally saved my life. I love experimenting and, probably, that is why I like this sphere with its immense potential for creativity so much. Normally, I draw inspiration from the life itself and from the desire to do something really cool (you know, like cool characters in the movies – you just want to be like one of them). What inspired me to make this course is that idea that sharing with others and helping them gives you one of the best feelings in the world.
