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 a 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
