9/10 (Docked one point only for the inevitable slowdown when you get too greedy with bevel complexity).
For years, Adobe After Effects has thrived on a beautiful lie: the illusion of depth. Between the classic "shatter" effect, awkwardly duplicated layers, and the long, clunky road of Ray-Traced 3D, true extrusion has felt like a foreign language in a primarily 2D host. Enter Plugin Everything , a developer known for ripping up the rulebook, with their tool simply titled: Extrude .
If you have ever found yourself painstakingly duplicating a shape layer and offsetting it by one pixel to fake a 3D shadow, do yourself a favor: It will pay for itself in the first hour of client work.
Combine Extrude with Plugin Everything’s "Pastiche" or "Mobius" for truly unhinged 3D geometry that looks like nothing else on social media. Have you used Extrude for After Effects? What’s the most complex bevel you’ve managed to pull off?
