[Walter Soyka] ”
Given its huge speed advantage over AE’s native ray-tracer, and given its vastly superior shading and beveling, I think many artists will turn to Element for 3D type over the built-in AE tools unless they specifically need a ray-tracing feature like true shadows, reflections or refraction.”
It will be interesting to see what its animation capabilities are in respect to using it for text.
Proanimator by Zaxwerks has a very innovative GUI (Pose based) that seems hard to beat for Text & logo animations.
