Video Copilot Element 3D iPad 2 model for App Demo
Hi I am after an element 3D compatible model (.e3d) for an iPad/iPad2.
I’ve tried googling but haven’t been successful in separating the wheat from the chaff.
Does anybody have a link to a model ideally already prepared for Element 3D as an e3d file, like AK’s iPhone 5 model with editable screen included with his tutorial?
Failing that does anybody know of an obj file with an unwrapped UV material that would be suitable for importing manually? Ideally with a separate screen.
I don’t mind paying, just need to resolve it soon 🙂
Thanks

i just did a search for ipad on turbo squid… which has some free files and some paid files. i would suggest trying out the OBJ files and importing them into Element… check out VC site for instructions on importing the file and getting the textures re-connected. i did a test a when it came out on a simple truck file and it worked just fine.

Thanks for the quick response, I looked on Turbosquid too, didn’t find anything super amazing for free… however Andy Pawson has a great model here: https://www.andypdawson.com/2011/07/free-ipad-2-cinema-4d-model/
I looked at Andrew’s tutorial ‘Importing Objects & Building Materials’ definitely useful but it kind of glosses over certain issues – the example he used is already compressed into one material whereas most models are a few, often many, different materials, I don’t know if there is a way of compressing a multi material file into a UVW map or if there is a more elegant solution?
I’ll keep trying!

Well…Element supports multiple materials on the same object too. Can’t you just leave it as it is?

Yes this is fine for models with external material files once you have generated UVW maps for all materials, however I don’t know how you export materials made with C4D’s built in shaders? Knowing how to export an unfolded UVW map would help I reckon, though I’m guessing this is covered in the C4D forum.
I managed to import the model in the end with a few modifications and work on the ‘shader based’ materials by hand. Once its completely refined I’ll post a link to the .e3d model w/ assets, should save people some time in future! -
Hey stuart,
Have you found a way to import an ipad into element 3d with keeping the screen editable and with a wrapping texture?
Thanks in advance,
Jimmy

You can also load OBJ files into E3D. They are much more readily available, but you must load in the textures yourself.

The problem with those files is most of the textures are .psd files, with E3D does not handle.

Do you need the model? I made one that is compatible.

Absolutely sir, if I could access that it would be fantastic!

I would really really appreciate that model, especially if it’s e3d ready. Thanks in advance!
