3D Warps for After Effects

Not yet CC2015 or CC2017 Compatible

Twist. Bend. Bulge.

The 3D Warps package contains two powerful plug-ins: 3D Layer Warp and 3D Grid Warp.

3D Layer Warp lets you take existing AE layers and deform them in many ways. Twist them along any axis. Bend a layer around itself. Add arbitrary dimension with a displacement map.

3D Grid Warp provides the same warping controls as 3D Layer Warp in addition to a crisp grid generator. Select your grid style and set your line colors. Animate the lines and the warping parameters to create fantastic backgrounds for your motion graphics.

Advanced material, lighting, and camera controls allow you to create dramatic scenes with ease.

See the Product Details for more information or add the software to
your cart to get started.

• Add a true third dimension to your flat artwork

WARP STYLES

3D Layer Warp and 3D Grid Warp provide a variety of Warp Styles to choose from. You may combine the styles in order to achieve complex shapes.

GRID STYLES

You can use the Line Controls and the Color Controls in 3D Grid Warp to create custom grids.

COMBINING WARPS

You can combine up to three warps to create unique shapes. You can also animate the parameters to put your warps in motion.

COLOR MAPPING

You may apply any other layer as the source for the color image used in the warp. Images with alpha channels can be used to cut out pieces of the source image. Color maps can be combined with the grids in 3D Grid Warp.

MATERIALS AND LIGHTING

Your layers can have transparency, specular highlights, and reflection maps. You can either use the lights in the Warp plug-in or you can use After Effects lights for additional effects.
