Hi, just purchased your Galactic Tour II, great work! I’ve run into a slight problem when opening up your project file in AE 2017, the E3D has reported the “sphere_HD.obj” is missing in my E3D directory, but I have just purchased the plug-in with pro-shader plugin. Does this file come with E3D in default or I need to find it somewhere else?
Thanks!
Hi, thank you for the purchase! The “sphere_HD.obj” is a default accessory of a previous E3D version, but you can create primitives in the newer version. You need to create a sphere with 2 units diameter. Replace its default material with the material of the missing model and set the model Texture Mapping option to “Sphere”.
Thanks for the reply! Another question regarding the movement of Earth at the end the scene (or the beginning of it, because I will be using the sequence reversed just like your sample), when the camera is pulling away from the Sun and Earth is “shrinking” toward the sun, its path seems to make a very interesting curve turning away from the sun right when it entering the sun’s flare. I was looking into fix that but the location and size of Earth is tied to your “planet null” and the relationship between this value and Earth is a mystery for me, do you have a quick suggestion on this situation? Thanks for the help!
If i understand your question well then you need to modify the rotation of the Planet Orbit Null layer in the Element 3D Integration comp for this change. But this is just a sample, you can use any other solution that is more clear to you. Please contact me through my profile page if you have any further question.
Thanks for the help! Great work again!
Hi. I’m ready to purchase the extended license but there is a big question: You wrote “The editable galaxy setup is not included.” but then above it you wrote: “By default you will need Trapcode Particular, Optical Flares and Element 3D for extending and customizing the project file”
So which one is it? Can I customize the camera movement and the galaxy? I need to.
Hi, you can’t modify the camera movement and the galaxy. The galaxy is a prerendered footage. The preview video show you the full length of the prerendered footage and some customization examples (e.g. foreground star cluster at the title text). The plugins are necessary for these small customization examples only.
Migrated my particular settings and still no visible render. A bit curious as to the issues here.
The project are working for me with migrated particular settings. Please write me some details through my profile page. Thanks
Hey, just FYI, I purchased this to incorporate into a short film that I made to put up on YouTube. There’s a company that’s claiming this as their own called Muse Network – M. I filed a dispute, since I purchased the rights to this, but they are claiming this is theirs. Will you help me file another dispute? I’m not here to make money, just looking to get some content up on YouTube with respect to your licensing. Thanks!
Hi, thank you for your comment! We have been working on this file for 1,5-2 years and it is surely our own product. We can prove this in many ways (intermediate progress files, etc). We know people steel our stuff and upload it to many places (we fight them all the time) however this is the first time someone claims ownership over our product! This is truly an interesting situation! Could you forward us the dispute and the contact details of this MUSE NETWORK as I’d like to contact them directly. Please send it directly to our email address not in a comment! We can assure you that we’ll do everything to make sure this issue gets cleared asap! Sorry for this inconvenience and thanks again for reaching out for us!
I just want to know the name of the font from the text “galactic tour II” please. Thank you!!
The font name is Spinnaker. https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Spinnaker
Thank you very much!!
Hi, The product is amazing, but I have an issue with the optical flares.
Every time I open the project file, I get an “unrecoverable” problem with optical flares, but when I open a new project and add the flares in, no issues.
I’ve looked at the VideoCopilot support for this, and the only issue they say it is, is an old version of optical flares my end, but I have the most recent version.
Unsure how to go about this, thanks

Hi, Thank you for the purchase! Please try to press the CapsLock before you open the project for disabling the refesh of the monitor panel. Turn off the Optical Flares layer (1st layer in the main comp), or try to use an other OF preset for the Sun. The plugin works properly for me, so I can’t find the reason of the issue.
I have done the Capslock thing, sort of worked. The other Issue I have here, is there are 2 expression errors about layers. Both suggesting there should be 30 layers, but there isn’t…
I’ve fixed it. For anyone having the same issue as me, one of the flares on the first layer has “disable 3D perspective” checked, un-check this and recheck it, this will reset the flare. Happy animating everyone 
Oh, and also un-check GPU
Hello,
Is it possible to integrate Terra in this scene?
Yes it is possible, but not a simple method. Much more easier if you not integrate the scenes, only animate the cam similarly in Terra.
Cool ok, thanks!
Extraordinary work ! I bought Galactic Tour & Galactic Tour 2 and I wonder if you could provide a ProRes 444 Quicktime version or better yet, a sequence of images at 10 bits. When color correction is performed, banding appears in black zones, especially visible in high resolution monitors. I look forward for your answer. Thank you very much and all the best.
Just for me as info how did you create the galaxy, did you use a 3D program or made it all in aftereffects with particular?
Hi, the project created only in AE with Trapcode Particular, and some 3D layers. (Please note, the Galactic Tour contains only the prerender, and the camera path of the original animation. The Particular settings does not included.)
All I want to do is change the title. But do I still need to get TrapcodeParticular, OpticalFlares and Element 3D? I didn’t realize that to get these things, this project would end up being over $1000, which is steep if all I ever wanted to do was just customize the words and that’s it.
You don’t need to use everything for this. The title is a simple text layer, so you don’t need these plugins to change it. Just turn off the unnecessary layers (1-9) and type what you want on the 11th layer. The user guide contains the detailed description, and you will find some comments in the project file. This may help you for further customization.
TF This is spectacular and epic. Keep your work.
Thank you!
This is just stock footage. Terribly misleading! It is not the project file for the video… Just the video.
The description contains all information. “The editable galaxy setup is not included.” Please read it before you purchase the project.
I don´t really understand the description of this project, or why it´s filed under “AE project files”: It looks really cool – however, I have never seen a project with so many disappointed customers who ALL thought they were getting an editable AE file, and not just an (awesome) video file. May I suggest you either make the file editable – or file it under “Stock footage”? It would perhaps be more accurate and in the end cause less problems. Unless I have completely misunderstood what this project is about, of course..
Having said this, your project looks amazing, and I hope to see more cool things from you.
All the best from Denmark
Hi, thanks for your comment. This project contains a stock footage of the galaxy and a project file with the original camera track, and some masks. You can add your element seamlessly to the stock footage with the project file – a title, a planet or any others what you need. I think some customers has not read carefully the full description, or not contact me when some information is not clear enough. The main asset is a stock footage, but you can use it much more flexible with the project file than a conventional stock material. The Envato review team has approved the classification.
Elements 3D V2 that is compatible with?
It is works for me. But the E3D object is only a sample for illustrate how can you work with it in this project – so this is not an important feature.
Hi there, are you able to provide the file with the sample text thats at the end of the demo video where the “galactic tour II” text flows into the frame and becomes stationary and then the background fades out leaving the text behind. I thought that sample text file would also be included in the purchase since it was in the demo video
Hi, the sample text are included, but the demo animation settings not. However the method is very simple: just split the text layer, and parent the second half to the camera.
Perfect thank you!
Its just a video file! It is not AE proj. Why you did not mention that its only a video file?
Sorry, but the description is contains the information: “The editable galaxy setup is not included.”
Hello. I have once bought your project that I absolutely was not necessary due to the fact that it was not a project and footage. will You be able to replace me project that I bought for this project that you are proposing now? With all respect, Andrew
Sorry, but I can’t help – I’m only the author of the project, the seller is the Envato.
Hi. Thanks for the great project. Although I am trying 3 days now to download it. It always stops at random places. Since I am in a very tight spot and I need it quickly, could you please send it toy me via We transfer or a similar service:. politisnik@yahoo.gr
thanks.
SWEET !!!
Bravo on an amazing project. I also purchased the Terra Project. I contacted you via your profile, but there was no response. Would you happen to have frames where the Galactic Disc is fully in the frame? I want to start my animation from much further away.
I am also planning on placing a space station near orbit of the earth, if you had to guess, how far away from the camera would the Earth be so I can get the correct perspectives?
Thank you, and sorry for the slow respond time.
I will send you some detailed informations, but I has not been made a more distant view to this scene, so I need to create an additional render for your request.
You need to place the camera to 165px distance above the Earth surface in Terra project if you want to get the ISS viewpoint – unfortunately the existing textures resolutions (e.g. the 86K Blue Marble dataset from NASA ftp://neoftp.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/bluemarble/bmng/world_500m/) is not enough for this extreme close-up.
Error ocurred at Line 1. Comp “Interstellar Wandering” Layer. 30 (“Galactic Preview”) Property: “Opacity”.
And
Open GL crash was happening with project file.
I should get paid for debugging your file.
“You can use the provided prerendered footage as a master shot in any editing software but you may expand it further with the help of the included After Effects project file.” – Completely misleading I knew it was to good to be true.
You should read the FAQ as it has a simple solution for your first problem.
The OpenGL error maybe caused by the Element 3D plugin – maybe your OpenGL driver or the plugin is not up to date, or the resolution is to large for your hardware… I don’t know exactly – similar error are not occurred previously and your message is not contains diagnostic informations.
All information about the project are available in the description or in the F.A.Q. ( http://videohive.net/item/galactic-tour-ii/5819079/support ) and if anything is not clear enough, you have an option to contact me anytime through my profile page before you purchase the project.
