Plugin Everything - Extrude For After Effects F... ⟶

is a powerful tool for Adobe After Effects that transforms 2D layers—specifically live text, shape layers, and mask paths—into dynamic 3D extrusions with a single click. Unlike standard After Effects 3D options that often require switching render engines, Extrude offers a high-performance, GPU-accelerated solution that maintains compatibility with native features like text animators and cameras. Key Features and Modes

Links the extrusion projection to After Effects cameras. This mode dynamically alters the thickness, perspective angles, and shadows as the active camera orbits through the scene. Key Production Features

Traditional faux-3D techniques (such as using the Minimax effect or stacked repeater layers) frequently break when paths intersect or overlap. Extrude handles self-intersecting geometries and complex fill rules natively, ensuring clean lines even when text animators skew or distort characters into one another.

The tool bypasses traditional rendering workarounds by processing geometry directly on the GPU. This configuration enables real-time playback and multi-frame rendering (MFR) stability. Users can toggle between three unique geometric projection styles:

A comprehensive extension that supports 3D objects (GLB/GLTF), parametric primitives, and multiple generators (Extruder, Lathe, Tube). is a powerful tool for Adobe After Effects

The plugin works natively with built-in After Effects text animators. Properties like character tracking, line spacing, line anchors, skew, and character offsets render cleanly. If a range selector scales individual characters up or down, the extrusion depth scales dynamically in real time. 3. Inner Extrusion Shading
