Yes! If you can, get a hold of a full 3D program. The more you learn about how 3D really works, the better you'll be at figuring out workarounds for pseudo 3D plugins such as Element. For instance, Element has the capability of importing sequential 3D object files exported from real 3D software. (You could animate a very complex scene in Maya and export the geometry for the whole scene frame by frame from Maya for use in Element 3D.) We didn't cover this for two very simple reasons—this is not a book on how to animate in Maya (remember how long just the modeling section was), and it can be bug a bit (for example, normal flipping out). Also, there is no potential for motion blur. In effect, the best you can hope for is a stop-motion look (without a vector motion blur plugin).
