What It Does
RubikCube creates a 3D Rubik’s Cube model directly in After Effects and provides controls to animate it. The plugin handles the geometry and layer setup automatically, letting you focus on timing and animation rather than building the cube from scratch.
Key Features
Automatic cube generation. The script builds all necessary layers and 3D elements for a complete Rubik’s Cube model without manual setup.
Animation controls. Provides tools to rotate faces and animate the cube solving itself or scrambling. The plugin knows the mechanics of how a Rubik’s Cube moves, so rotations follow the actual puzzle’s behavior.
Wide version support. Works across After Effects versions from CS6 through 2025, making it accessible regardless of which version you’re running.
Who It’s For
Useful for motion designers working on tech demos, educational content, or any project where a Rubik’s Cube fits thematically. The plugin saves time compared to modeling a cube manually or importing 3D assets from external software.
Fun fact: researchers proved that any Rubik’s Cube position can be solved in 20 moves or fewer, which the plugin’s animations reflect.
Pricing
RubikCube uses pay-what-you-want pricing with a suggested minimum of $19.99. You can pay any amount you choose. Businesses and teams must pay the suggested amount to receive a valid license.
