    Hello there, I’ve been stuggling with making a good tight 3d cube in AE. All the scripts or comps I could find are not completly tight. Here’s what I’m trying to do. I have a cube with top and bottom in red, the other sides are white with letters on them. However, when rotating the cube on it’s y axis you can see the red from top and bottom solids leaking through. And that looks ugly on the cubes edges. I’ve messed around with strokes applied to the white solids but was wondering if there’s another option other than using 3rd party effects.

    what will this button do?

    I don’t get any red leakage with script created cubes using either Digital Anarchy’s 3D Assistants Lite (it came with my copy of AE6.5) or with napscript’s createCube.jsx:

    Choose “a partir de nouveaux solides”, then set how large you want the sides (in pixels)and then check “source unique”, and click “creer”. It will construct an all white cube built around a Null. Changing the top and bottom to red, and no leakage for me in a quick test.
