Built for modern workflows, the plugin is GPU accelerated and fully supports 32 bits per channel (32bpc) for high-fidelity results. It is also native to and supports Multi-Frame Rendering (MFR) for faster previews and exports. Creative Combinations
If you know how to move a slider, you know how to use Extrude. : Delivers high-fidelity results directly within the plugin
Unlike traditional, heavy 3D workflows, provides a lightning-fast, native experience that keeps your workflow within After Effects, making it essential for motion designers needing high-quality 3D results quickly. What is Extrude by Plugin Everything?
If you don’t have the plugin, After Effects has native extrusion for: It is important to note what Extrude does
One of the standout features is the built-in shading engine. You can define light sources to automatically highlight edges and cast shadows across the extrusion, giving your layers a premium, tactile look that "fake" extrusions usually lack. Extrude isn’t just for text. You can apply it to: Vector Shapes: Perfect for logo animations. Masks: Turn simple paths into complex 3D structures. Pre-comps: Extrude entire animated scenes. 4. "Hidden" Backfaces
Before we praise the solution, let’s acknowledge the pain points of Adobe’s current offering (Ray-Traced 3D & Cinema 4D renderer):
is a GPU-accelerated plugin that instantly transforms flat 2D layers—including live text, shape layers, and mask paths—into dimensional extrusions.
For those who love 2D styles, the feature allows you to transition between normal and inner depth, perfect for creating "cut-out" looks or unique logo reveals. Workflow & Compatibility
