About Foldspace

Foldspace is a GPU‑accelerated plugin for Adobe After Effects that enables the creation, editing, and animation of 3D curved surfaces directly inside compositions. It generates geometry with bends and curves that native After Effects tools cannot produce. The UI offers controls for shaping each surface, animatable control points that can be attached to other layers for dynamic rigs, and a per‑surface material system where any layer may be used as a texture. Version 1.2.0 adds selectable render passes (Final Render, Depth, World‑Space Normals, View‑Space Normals, UV), camera selection for any composition camera, HiDPI UI rendering on Retina displays, and fixes for project import and UV texture mapping. The plugin is compatible with After Effects CC 2019 through the 2026 release.

Features

  • GPU-accelerated creation, editing, and animation of 3D curved surfaces in After Effects
  • Curved surface generation with bends or curves that native After Effects tools can’t produce
  • Animatable control points that can attach to other layers for dynamic motion rigs
  • UI controls for manipulating the shape and curvature of each surface
  • Per-surface material system, with any layer usable as a texture for a surface
  • Selectable render passes: Final Render, Depth, Normals (World and View Space), and UV
  • Camera selection to pick any camera layer when Use Composition Camera is enabled

Best for

After Effects artists who need to build and animate 3D curved surfaces, attach control points to other layers, and use custom textures and render passes within their motion‑graphics projects.
