In the world of motion graphics, the demand for stunning 3D assets is ever-increasing. Native extrusion tools in After Effects have often been considered either too slow, too complex, or simply insufficient for production-quality work. Enter —a third-party plugin designed to bridge the gap between 2D layers and 3D depth. Launched in May 2024, Extrude quickly became a topic of discussion for its ease of use, GPU-accelerated performance, and seamless integration with After Effects' native tools.
Unlike typical 3D tools that only push vectors outward, this plugin features . Motion designers can seamlessly transition from outer geometry to hollow, carved-out inner spaces, generating completely unique geometric shifts on a single layer. 4. Blazing Fast Architecture
