You need Zaxwerks 3D Invigorator. You can use your exisiting image as a texture map on the star.
If you are comfortable in the AE 3D design space, you could feasibly use your star image as the front and back of a star, then used carefully placed solids for the extruded edges.

A cheat that may work is to put your star psd in a comp. Make it a 3D layer. Now duplicate it 10 times or so. now move each copy back in z space 10 pixels or so from the others. you end up with a layered look that definitely shows depth. it’s not the perfect solution that invigorator gives you, but it’s interesting.
