While After Effects now has 3D text extrusion, Element 3D offers

Element 3D is a particle-based 3D rendering engine that runs inside After Effects. Traditional 3D pipelines require jumping between external 3D software and your compositing suite. Element 3D eliminates this back-and-forth by letting you work with real 3D geometry directly on your After Effects timeline. Key Capabilities

, Element 3D remains a favorite for motion designers due to its speed and integration. Element 3D V2 - Video Copilot

The plugin supports Physically Based Rendering (PBR) workflows. Materials react realistically to lighting environments, mimicking real-world surfaces like brushed metals, glass, glossy plastics, and rough textures. It includes built-in parameters for glossiness, specular highlights, transparency, and subsurface scattering. 3. Advanced Particle Replication

Turn flat text or vector paths into complex 3D objects.
