Element 3d Texture map is black!

have you found a solution?

How big are your custom images.  When Andrew Kramer released his Ultimate Earth tutorial, my card couldn't handle the 6k textures.  I resized them in photoshop down to 2k and problem solved.

Edit to add:

I also remembered that Andrew pointed out in one of his tutorials that custom layers are 'live' in the sense they consume processing power.  If you can use a file image instead of one in the comp then this might help too.

Did you find any fix mine was wroking all fine when i was using after effects 2019 but after I installed after effects 2021 and i just copied the plugins to the 2021 folder and then this started happening i reinstalled elements i even reinstalled after effects 2019 and installed elements on it but still the problem continued if u got any fix then can u plz plz let me know i am stuck very badly.

+1 for confirming your video card drivers are up to date. Element is touchy about that.

I'd recommend directing further questions on Element to Video Copilot support - you'll find more info and support there since it's their product. If you can't get an answer from the site, I'd recommend emailing them - they've always been very responsive any time I've run into issues!

Without any info on your system, the properties of the composition and how it is used on the model this is of no use to anyone. Start by updating your graphics drivers and check the various GPU features in AE and the plug-in itself. E3D is highly dependent on hardware acceleration and conflicts in this department can easily impair its functionality.
