What It Does
3D Letters Animator generates 3D titles in After Effects where each letter animates independently on curved surfaces. You select an animation style, apply materials, and customize lighting, color, reflection, timing, and wiggle effects. Works with any font you have installed.
Key Features
120+ Letter Animations. Organized into six categories: Cartoon, Cinematic, Elastic, Modern, Romantic, and Special. Each animation can be applied per letter.
Six Material Options. Five designed for the Element 3D plugin, one native to After Effects. You can swap materials and adjust properties like color and reflection directly in the extension.
Letter Timing Controls. Set custom delays between letters, change their direction of appearance, and adjust orientation. Useful for staggering reveals or syncing to audio.
Rotation and Wiggle. Letters can rotate independently and wiggle effects add organic motion to static text.
Font Flexibility. Not locked to specific typefaces. Use any font installed on your system.
Who It’s For
Motion designers working on title sequences, broadcast graphics, or promotional videos. Particularly useful if you need quick 3D text without manually animating each letter. The Element 3D integration makes sense for users already using that plugin, though one material works natively.
Pricing
Pay-what-you-want model, starting at $34 for a single user license. No subscription or forced price. Upgrade pricing available if you own other MotionDesk products (requires login to see).
