Plugin Everything - Extrude For After Effects F... ~upd~ Official

Extrude is built for modern pipeline stability. Based on the technical data from Toolfarm and aescripts:

: Fully compatible with native After Effects cameras for accurate perspective.

aims to solve this by offering a lightweight, GPU-accelerated solution that feels native to the AE workflow. Plugin Everything - Extrude for After Effects F...

: Parametric shapes (like Rounded Rectangles) must be converted to Bézier paths before extrusion can be applied.

A major advantage of Extrude is its compatibility with After Effects' native text animators. You can animate properties like tracking, opacity, or blur on the source text layer, and Extrude will automatically update the 3D geometry in real time. It also works with path-aligned text and Shape Layer Merge Paths (Add, Subtract, Intersect), making Boolean-style 3D objects very easy to generate. Extrude is built for modern pipeline stability

: GPU accelerated for "blazing" speed, supporting Multi-Frame Rendering (MFR) and Apple Silicon native performance.

Extrude is a GPU-accelerated plugin for After Effects designed to turn 2D layers into 3D objects. It handles the heavy lifting of calculating geometry, shading, and rendering within the AE environment. : Parametric shapes (like Rounded Rectangles) must be

Use gradient shading and inner extrude options for a polished look. Conclusion

| Feature | Native AE | Plugin Everything Extrude | |---|---|---| | | Cinema 4D renderer only (heavy) | Lightweight, instant | | Shape Layer Extrusion | Not directly supported | Yes, with path conversion | | Mask Path Extrusion | Not supported | Yes | | GPU Acceleration | Limited | Full GPU support | | Vanishing Point Extrusion | No | Yes | | Live Text Animators | Limited compatibility | Broad compatibility | | Performance | Can be slow with complex scenes | Real‑time preview |

, allowing for sophisticated solid or gradient shading to define the sides of the extrusion. Inner Extrusion

: Creates a classic parallel extrusion (like a long shadow but solid) at a specific angle and length.
