Does Vegas Post support Video Copilot Element 3D"?

I found out today that Hitfilm Pro last year I think added the ability of using Video Copilot's: Element 3D. And since Vegas Post integrates much of HitFilm Pro, I am wondering if anyone out there has tried to use Element 3D with Vegas Post? I have Adobe After Effects for now, because I wanted to load some After Effects file (which I was able to get a lot of), and may need to keep after Effects. I am able to convert pretty good After Effects files to NewBlue FX Titler Pro 7 which can run from Vegas Pro and Post and After Effects. But I ran into something I need really bad: "3D Virtual Studio" on Envato, which is a 3D Virtual Set for broadcast or Show Programs (like I want to make on YouTube), which is built using "Element 3D". I don't know if I can live without this! Awesome! But even if I keep licensing After Effects next year, I still would prefer to use Element 3D from Vegas Post, because I love the Vegas workflow, and I don't wish to purchase Adobe Premier. I would like to keep most of my production in Vegas Post, or if I must the standalone Hit Film Pro. I have invested a lot of time and money in researching and building up my Vegas Pro Suite and OFX Effects libraries - I don't wish to have to repurchase them for the After Effects too. And I don't wish to buy Adobe Premier and scrap using Vegas Pro/Post just because I need a quality 3D Virtual Studio. That would be dumb. Vegas has a nice fast workflow, and works great with audio and I have gobs and gobs of VST Effects for shaping audio or synthesis.

I need the ability of compositing with Virtual 3D Sets to produce awesome show videos with multiple camera angles and panning and movement using a Green screen or BCC or Mocha.

I also would like a backup solution to do what I need without relying on Adobe After Effects, so that if I decide to not renew it for awhile I can still keep working. I don't want to have to use After Effects to render something, put it into Vegas Pro/Post to finish it up with other clips? Too much trouble if I don't have to.

VEGAS Effects doesn't posses these features of Hitfilm :

1. Editing feature,

2. Foundry camera tracker,

3. Mocha hitfilm,

4. BCC 3D Objects,

5. AE plugins support".

So Hitfilm is much more powerful and cheap and also can be imported to Vegas Pro without rendering. I advise you to purchase Hitfilm Pro.

It may not come with BCC, but I bought BCC OFX and I have the entire BCC library running inside of Vegas Pro 18 and probably 17.
