Description

Ray Projector

Ray Projector — a GPU-accelerated After Effects plugin.

  • Detects edges and extrudes them into 3D
  • Uses environment maps (preset or custom layer)
  • Adds gradient coloring along the extrusion axis

Contour Extrusion

At the first stage, the plugin analyzes the source image and detects its edges. Edge detection can be performed based on either transparency or color intensity.

The detected edges are converted into a contour, which is then extruded to a specified distance and direction, forming a 3D model.

Reflection Map

The resulting 3D model is rendered with a semi-transparent material and a spherical reflection map.
The plugin includes six built-in reflection maps and allows you to assign any layer as a custom reflection map.

Gradient Coloring

In addition to the spherical reflection map, the model can be colored with a gradient along the extrusion axis.

3D Camera

Since the plugin generates a true 3D model,
you can transform it within 3D space, and it also supports After Effects’ native camera system.
