You don't need to dupe the object files. There is an easy way to swap textures - as long as the model remains the same, just replace the texture file in the diffuse channel from within the element gui. Click on the object materials icon and the varying textures (spec, diffuse, etc) will load up in the box below it. You can then bring in multiple copies of the same object, assign them to different groups and have a different texture map on each one. You can even randomize particle animations using the different groups.

Thats great. Do I dupe the object for each customized object i want to make? I doubt there is a layer choice in Element once you assign the object.

In theory you could open up the texture for the football and modify
it in Photoshop as well. No mucking about with 3D programs.

sure you could. But as I said, I don't work in 3d and never got my
head around those programs.

Pure speculation here as I haven't
used Element, but assuming the objects were created in
something like Cinema 4D, could you not simply open them up
in that program and make your changes there?

I rarely work in 3D but Element has given me some
interesting tools to use in AE. I was wondering if
anyone knows if you can customize the objects in the
motion packs? For example, I want to use the football
object as a chapter image with text on the football. Is
that possible?
thanks
