, allowing for sophisticated solid or gradient shading to define the sides of the extrusion. Inner Extrusion
This plugin is ideal for motion designers who need 3D depth for logos or typography without switching to a full 3D engine like Cinema 4D. It handles self-intersecting paths reliably and remains fast even with complex font weights.
Available from Toolfarm starting at $49.95, Extrude is a GPU-accelerated plugin that transforms live text layers, shapes, and mask paths into dynamic 3D objects with a single click. Unlike traditional workarounds that require stacking dozens of layers to create the illusion of depth, Extrude delivers real-time 3D extrusion directly within the After Effects interface, with three distinct extrusion modes that cater to different creative needs.

Given its attractive price point of $49.95 and robust compatibility with modern AE versions, Extrude is a must-have addition to any digital artist's toolkit.
: Built for speed with GPU-accelerated performance and support for Multi-Frame Rendering (MFR). , allowing for sophisticated solid or gradient shading
Unlike some workarounds that require converting text to shapes, this works directly on live text layers and is compatible with AE’s native text animators. The "Solid" Verdict Pros: Versatility: Works with shapes, masks, and text.
Because Extrude doesn't rely on the heavy After Effects 3D rendering engines, your preview speeds remain high. It’s optimized for motion designers who need to iterate quickly. Available from Toolfarm starting at $49
