3D Splitter
  • Jayse HansenJayse Hansen
    Love this! Been looking for something like this for a long time! Opens up a lot of possibilities. 

    If you update it, I would love an option to split at every, say 20 pixels along the length of the pre comp - so that it forms a regular grid that I can fake a bent layer with. Even better if it had an option to add an expression that would bend every layer incrementally with a degree slider. 

    Great work!

    What I have done to do that is to use After Effects Raytrace-3D. You can bend your layer when using raytrace. https://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/bending-2d-layers there they tell you how to do exactly :)

    But it would be nice to have an option when you you are not using the Raytracer! The Raytracer introduces many limitations so it's not always a viable option. This would also work in older versions of AE :)

    Potentially found a bug. Have only tested on Windows (7) running latest version of CC-- if you hit 'cancel' or escape out of the popup at the 'Name your Pre-Comp' phase, the script crashes at line 395.

    hmmm... intressting, thanks! Will look it up!

    I tried but for me I never got an error message (running same setup as you). Can you screencapture it or take some prints of it?

    Yes - exACtLY  - I don't think I'll ever use the ray tracer until they make it usable. Your script is perfect for bending layers/precomps - but tedious at the moment to do it. Would be an awesome update that would make it extremely versatile for those of us that hate AE's current ray trace option.

    Hi 

    The script does not work in AE CC 2014... when I change from horizontal to vertical AE crashes....

    I just tried it and there were no problems for me. Can you create a ticket here, capture your problem with http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/ and send to me?

    This is an incredible script. I only have a question. I am using it on AE CC 2015, and when I split an image, it doesn't create a Null controller; although I have it check in the preferences. It does add a null controller if I am splitting a Pre-comped animation. Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi! Thanks for the good words! I'll check in what's happening and why you don't get a nullcontroller!

    Hi there.  Great script.  I am wondering how I can add a "back" to a fold.  Just a plain white color instead of the back of the layer. 
    Thanks!

    Hi Jacob,

    I had downloaded and installed your 3D Splitter and can't see it on my M1. :(
    Such a pity because your video made it look really cool.

    use our manager app to install it: https://aescripts.com/learn/aescripts-aeplugins-manager-app/ After installation, restart AE and you will find it under the Window menu
