About Extrudalizer

Extrudalizer operates inside Adobe After Effects and converts 2D shape layers into extruded shapes that exist in a virtual 3D space. When you press the Extrudalize button a custom controller and a helper text layer are added, exposing parameters for extrusion depth, front and back face positioning, scaling, pitch, orbit, wireframe mode, edge stroke, translucency, and per‑face color or gradient settings. Artwork can be mapped to any face, and Corner Pin or Transform effects can be swapped as needed. Pre‑Extrudalize options let you set appearance defaults and the number of sections for curved segments. The resulting extrusion can be exported directly as a 100% Lottie‑compatible file for web use, or baked to keyframes for iOS and Android via the Bodymovin plugin.
