  I just blogged about this and that I would share it with you guys. Mettle has a created a plugin that allows 2D text and abstract shapes to be turned into “true” 3D right inside AE.

  FEATURES:

  Easy 3D Deformations – Bend, Bulge & Twist
  Built in particle system (the Generator)
  Use 3D displacement maps + filters that ship with AE for spectacular result.
  Render depth maps for use with lens blurs + products like Trapcode Particular etc.
  Reflection mapping – Spherical and Cubic
  Shadow casting
  High-speed rendering

  That’s ShapeshifterAE. I was fortunate to mess about with a beta version. I believe that ordering details including early or der discounts will be out on Monday.

  BTW, the plugin also works with AE’s Text Animation Presets. So, it’s a quick way to animate 3D text in AE.
