Hi everyone,

I would like to know if Element 3D is still relevant with the lastest After Effects update?

Can we do the same with 3D without it?

Thank you!

For me I've another problem in AE 2025 E3D always lags and crashes after effects whenever I do playback while it works very find in AE 2024.

Any idea why this keep happening?

Alright, I just disabled Multiframe rendering option in memory and performance and it works fine inside AE 2025 ,

Just liked to share if anyone had this case in the future

Hi @toshin19,

Could you share more details on what’s happening? Are you on macOS or Windows? Also, what’s the version of After Effects are you using?

Let me know.

Thanks,

Nishu

Element 3D is a much more capable plugin, and it is very affordable. One animation for a client at the industry standard rates would pay for the plugin unless you can complete the project in less than 2 hours of billable time. Advanced 3D has a minimal set of controls and options. It is suitable only for very simple 3D object placement in a Comp and gives you very little control over lighting.
