Plugin Everything - Extrude For After Effects F... [2026 Release]

Months later, Alex sat in a café, sketchbook open, planning a personal short that would mix stop-motion textures with clean vector shapes. They smiled at the memory of that forum thread and the way a single tool had taught them to look for sculptural detail in flat work. Extrusion was no longer just a visual effect — it was a design grammar, a way to suggest touch, weight, and labor in a world of screens.

But native extrusion lacks bevel controls and material separation.

The night before the client presentation, the render queue jammed. An unrelated comp crashed, and the backup machine took an hour to boot. Alex paced and stared at the monitor until, tired, they remembered a small feature in the plugin: editable proxy geometry. It let them preview the full scene at lower quality but with exact motion and timing. With proxy previews, they composed the entire cut, finessed timing, and exported a crisp H.264 for the meeting — all within two hours.

A common issue with manual extrusions is the "messy" look when a layer rotates. Extrude handles backfaces cleanly, ensuring that your object looks solid from every angle.

: Features a robust built-in gradient colorwheel editor to quickly map custom gradients, solid fills, and directional shading to your geometry faces. Months later, Alex sat in a café, sketchbook

: The plugin uses robust math to cleanly render complex, twisting vectors that cross over themselves without creating glitchy visual artifacts.

In 3D mode, the plugin is fully compatible with native After Effects cameras, allowing you to fly around your extruded text just like a native 3D object.

| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | | Adjust extrusion depth, taper, bevel, and twist. | | Materials | Apply different colors/textures to front, sides, and bevel. | | Lighting | Responds to AE lights and shadows. | | Camera Aware | Works with AE cameras for true 3D perspective. | | Performance | Uses GPU acceleration (depending on version). | | Layer Support | Works with shape layers, text layers, masks, and paths from Illustrator. | But native extrusion lacks bevel controls and material

Offloads computational rendering entirely onto your graphics card to ensure smooth viewport playback.

Extrudes toward a fixed point in space, ideal for perspective-heavy designs.
