FontObj V1.1 for After Effects

The Ultimate Text-to-3D Object Conversion Tool for After Effects

Download FontObj V1.1 today. Consequently, you can instantly convert any text layer into a fully editable 3D object directly inside After Effects, opening up a world of dimensional typography possibilities. Because motion designers and title artists constantly need to create striking 3D text for intros, logos, and broadcast graphics, having access to a dedicated text-to-3D tool is absolutely essential. Nevertheless, building genuine 3D text geometry typically requires external 3D software, complex exports, and time-consuming roundtrips. Fortunately, FontObj eliminates this bottleneck completely. Moreover, it transforms your text into native After Effects 3D geometry while preserving full editability, allowing you to change the font, content, and style at any point in your workflow. In short, you can achieve sophisticated 3D typography with unprecedented speed and flexibility.

Real 3D Geometry Generation from Text Layers

The core of this script lies in its ability to generate authentic 3D geometry from any text layer. For instance, FontObj analyzes your text and creates a true 3D mesh with front faces, back faces, and extruded sides, giving your typography genuine volume and depth. Furthermore, the generated geometry responds correctly to After Effects’ native 3D cameras, lights, and renderers, ensuring seamless integration with your existing 3D scenes. Since the result is real geometry rather than a simulated effect, you can rotate, animate, and light your text from any angle without distortion. Consequently, your 3D titles will exhibit the dimensional realism of professionally modeled assets.

Full Text Editability and Live Updates

Unlike many 3D conversion tools that rasterize or bake your text into a static object, FontObj preserves complete editability. For example, you can change the text content, font family, font weight, and styling at any time, and the 3D geometry updates automatically to reflect your changes. Furthermore, kerning, tracking, and alignment adjustments are all supported, allowing you to fine-tune your typography without regenerating the object. Since the workflow remains non-destructive, you can iterate freely and explore different creative directions. Thus, you maintain complete control over your typography throughout the entire production process.

Comprehensive Extrusion and Bevel Controls

Professional 3D typography demands precise control over depth and edge treatment. Therefore, FontObj provides a robust set of parameters for shaping your 3D text. For instance, you can adjust the extrusion depth to create anything from subtle, shallow relief to bold, dramatic letterforms. Additionally, bevel controls allow you to add chamfered or rounded edges, dramatically enhancing the realism and visual appeal of your text. Furthermore, you can control the bevel size, thickness, and segments to achieve the exact look you desire. Consequently, your 3D text will have the polished, professional finish expected in high-end motion design.

Perfect for Title Artists, Motion Designers, and Broadcast Professionals

This script is particularly well-suited for title artists creating cinematic intros, movie trailers, and show opens. Similarly, motion designers working on commercials, brand identity packages, and promotional content will appreciate the ability to generate 3D text quickly. Additionally, broadcast professionals and content creators can use FontObj to produce eye-catching lower thirds, channel branding, and social media graphics. Ultimately, FontObj V1.1 accelerates your entire motion design and typography pipeline.
