This script takes a 3D position and creates an animated 2D null in it’s relative 2D screen-space. Select a 3D Layer and press ‘Link’ to tie a new null to the 3D point with an expression or press ‘Bake’ to convert the expression to keyframes straight away.

Create Fractal Noise in three dimensions! Very useful for integrating noise in 3D composites. It reacts to After Effects comp cameras and lights.

A full suite of plugins to help improve everyday compositing workflows.

Creates equirectangular projection maps with 286 separate countries (masks on solids) under 178 jurisdictions (pre-comps). It comes with the “AEMap Utilities” which contains tools for dealing with a bunch of layers and nested comps.

Plexus is a Next Generation 3D Particle System Plugin Designed for Adobe After Effects.

Instantly turn layered Photoshop or Illustrator files into 3D multiplanes. It adds expressions that let you freely move layers on the z axis without changing the look of the shot from the original camera position, making it easy to experiment with depth in your scene.

AE Link is a Lightwave plugin that makes a breeze of exporting Cameras, Nulls, Lights and rendered sequences from Lightwave to After Effects. You don’t even have to import anything into After Effects. The innovative, non destructive, workflow ensures that what you do in Lightwave is mirrored in After Effects. Even complex scenes update in near real time.

The stereo 3d toolkit allows you to create complex stereoscopic compositions inside of after effects. It uses true left and right channels (instead of collapse transformations) so it is compatible with all 3d effects and plug-ins that use composition cameras.

This tutorial shows you how to create this fully dynamic, fully 3D title intro animation all in After Effects quickly and easily without having to write a single line of code.

Creates a 3D box, a 3D sphere, a 3D cylinder, a 3D pyramid, a 3D menger sponge, a 3D Platonic Solid and even 3D falling dominoes with user-defined layers.

Creates a parented null for each of the selected layers. The new null can have a custom name defined in the User Variables section and also has the option of including the name of the layer that is parented to it.

3D Extruder makes light work of creating high-quality 3D extrusions in After Effects.

Creates a 3D environment for your After Effects compositions at the touch of a button. The environment then responds to your camera’s position, orientation, rotation and lens properties.

Apply a 3D bevel to any layer and have it react to comp lights.

Allows you to distribute the selected layers in 3D space.

Converts a panoramic image into a 3D cylinder that can be used as a background in a 3D composition

Align all layers in a composition evenly on a line between 2 nulls with delay controls for animation.

This script aligns the selected layers along the x, y or z axis.

Assigns random values within a certain range to the transform properties of the selected layers.

Takes a layer in your comp and breaks it into pieces. You choose the size of the pieces, whether to animate in order or random, and how long you want the transition to take.

3D Widgets is a collection of scripts to make navigating the After Effects 3D space more intuitive.

Distributes layers in 3D space within set ranges

Generates text layers and distributes them in 3D space.
