They're both different beasts and have their own place and use. MIR strikes me more like Freeform with fractal displacement combined with Form/ Plexus rendering styles whereas Element 3D renders genuine geometry. And "creative"? C'mon...! This will be the same as always: A few months down the road you'll see it in every reel using the same settings and it will make you wanna vomit from the lack of creativity. It's as "creative" as all those boring Element 3D demos using fracture/ shatter text... Or in other words: It's not that this plug-in will allow a chimp with no art skills to paint the next Mona Lisa. It's an interesting tool, no doubt, but its novelty will wear off pretty quickly....
