You can get SOOO much bang for your buck out of running an image through it and adding layers besides your regular color/diffuse map in Element. I had a set of Polaroids I needed to animate a few months ago dropping from above the camera. I could have just used a regular 3d layer, but bringing it into element and loading in bump and spec maps allowed the Polaroid to actually look like there were plastic layers catching extra bits of light as it fell and flopped around. It didnt take long to generate and it brought something to life way more than the traditional method would have. Sorry, for the off topic aside.
