What It Does
malty: Cuber converts any layer into a 3D box. Select a layer, run the script, and you get a fully formed cube with all six faces properly aligned and parented. No dialogs, no settings to configure, just click and go.
Note: This product has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase.
Key Features
Intelligent automation. The script analyzes your selected layer and builds the box structure automatically. It handles layer duplication, positioning, and parenting without requiring any input.
No user interface. There’s no dialog to slow you down. The script does the work based on what it detects from your layer. This makes it faster than traditional box-creation tools that require you to fill out forms or adjust sliders.
Works with ft-Toolbar. While not required, the script integrates cleanly with ft-Toolbar, letting you trigger it with a single button press. This speeds up repetitive box creation in motion graphics projects.
Who It’s For
Motion designers building 3D title sequences, product showcases, or geometric animations. If you regularly need to turn flat layers into 3D objects without modeling software, this script removes the manual setup work.
