Create3DShapes
Version: 3.1 Sign up to be notified by email when a new version of this script is posted
This is a package of 6 scripts:
- Create3DBox.jsx – Watch demo video
- Create3DSphere.jsx – Watch demo video
- Create3DCylinder.jsx – Watch demo video
- Create3DPyramid.jsx – Watch demo video
- Create3DMengerSponge.jsx – Watch demo video
- Create3DFallingDominoes.jsx – Watch demo video
They create the 3D shape using user-defined comp layers. Assign a layer to each side, and the script will position and scale them to build the shape of given size. Note that the same layer can be used for multiple sides. An option allows to parent each side layer to a Null 3D positioned at the center of the shape.

The demo video is for the batch processing script, not the 3d object script.
Thanks for pointing that out, link has been fixed
the demo video doesn’t seem to work, is it just me? i’d love to see this in action, thanks!
Pesky videos. Should be fixed now, thanks for catching it. The demo video button has all 6 demo movies edited together and I also added each individual demo next to the script name above.
awesome, the movie with all of the together, gets glitchy in the middle, but the individual ones work great. Oh & these scripts are amazing! huge huge time saver for me, thanks a ton
FYI – There doesn’t appear to be any audio except for music with the dominos video at the end , which is really loud. Also, the tutorial video freezes at 3 minutes and then resumes at 4 minutes.
Anyway to ’squash’ the sphere into an oval shape, using the expression in the controller?
I’m assuming it’s in adding a second slider and calculating the vertical radius somehow?
Thanks, awesome script
You can create oval shape with Create3DSphere 3.1. With older versions, you can try playing with the controller’s scale (e.g. increase x or reduce y).
I,
Very simple and usefull!
But, do you know how to get rid of the border. They appears when you add a light to the comp.
Thank’s!!

Alpha Add blending mode sometimes helps to get rid of the little seam between side layers.
I istaled de scripts in the UI folder (the folder was already there i didn`t created one) when i tryed to open the create 3d box, an empty window appeared.
what should i do?
pls help
AE version ? Operating system ?
Hi there i love this script, But im having a few probs and any help would be much appreciated.
im trying to make a 3d city . when ever i try to parent a new 3d cube to another 3d cube the rotation/orientation values change and the layers rotate just a bit so the object is no longer symmetrical. is there some thing i missing?
You should parent the controller of cube 2 to the controller of cube 1. Does that help ?
Bonjour Charles, j’ai un problème avec le script Sphere: quand je demande “distribuer” un panneau s’affiche: “script error: une erreur est survenue lors de l’ouverture d’un fichier de ressource”.
Ceci que j’essaie avec un calque de texte, ou d’image (multiplié).
Les autres scripts de volume marchent, bravo!
Merci
Eric says: “When I try to use the Create3DSphere script a message pops up saying that an error occurred when opening and reading a resource file.”
Which version of AE are you using, on which platform ?
Make sure you have the “(Create3DSphere_Resources)” folder in the ScriptUI Panels folder.
Download/ZIP Archive is corrupt.
Thanks a lot!
I missed to put the “(Create3DSphere_Resources)” folder in the ScriptUI Panels folder.
Now it works very well!
I am having the same missing audio problem on the demo vids as Erik Waluska (12/24/2009) above. I’d really like to learn how to properly apply your wonderful 3D Shapes scripts.
Erik Waluska and hldavenp are right: the movie has no sound, shows the screen blitzing out and freezing about halfway through, then blurts loud music in the last few seconds. It scared my cat.
So I’m sure the script is great, but it’s kind of hard to tell what’s going on in the movie.
