E3D Mografter FX is a free After Effects toolset that adds Cinema 4D‑style Mograph generators (Cloner, Fracture, MoText) to control the Element 3D plugin via a movable Effector layer. Element 3D must be installed separately.
Developed by Fremox.

About E3D Mografter FX
E3D Mografter FX provides a workflow helper for After Effects that mirrors Cinema 4D’s Mograph module. It introduces three generators—Cloner, Fracture and MoText—each linked to an Effector layer that can be positioned in After Effects’ 3D space to animate clones, split model parts, or drive 3D text. Six pre‑built Element 3D scenes cover common tasks such as linear, radial, grid, and 3D object cloning, as well as fracture and text effects. Users can replace the default objects with their own assets, and all parameters retain the naming conventions of Cinema 4D’s Mograph for familiarity. The toolset requires the Element 3D plugin; it does not add new 3D capabilities beyond what Element 3D already offers. Documentation includes a 50‑page user guide and references to Maxon’s online Cinema 4D help.
