About FontObj
FontObj is an extension for Adobe After Effects that converts text layers into true 3D OBJ geometry. After entering your text and selecting a font, you can control the character size, extrusion depth, and tracking to shape the final model.

FontObj is currently at version 1.0 and is compatible with After Effects releases from 2020 through 2026, covering versions 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.
