  Google Earth Studio + Element 3D issue

  Posted by Aaron Gardner on June 20, 2019 at 11:32 am

  I am using Google Earth Studio, I have imported the render with the script into After Effects.

  I would like to add a 3D object using the plugin Element 3D, however the model does not show up when using the imported camera from Google Earth Studio.

  Has anyone else experienced this issue?

  Thanks in advance

  First of all…Let me check out this google earth studio…..Looks pretty cool…are you importing a camera or a 3d model…you mentioned both…i did not realize it could export models and cameras..it looks like a rendering platform by itself

  Yes it’s pretty cool has a lot of potential.

  It allows you to export a render and it includes a 3D camera and nulls for tracking points.

  So I’ve imported the render and 3D camera to after effects, however when I make a solid and apply element to the solid, create a 3D object, I can see the solid but no 3D object.

  I can’t work our for the life of me why it won’t show up!

  Is the Element 3d object anywhere near where the camera is pointing?

  Also make sure to turn off depth of field on your camera. If that’s the issue, make sure you adjust the focus point.

  Ohh i understand now…And the problem is that the 3d object is at 0,0,0…your camera is probably at 19,000,21,000,and 22,000 xyz..you will need to create a null for group 1 under element…then parent that null to one of the imported nulls…then you set your group 1 null to 0,0,0..

  I have to do the same process when using the camera tracker
