MO3D v1.0 is a GPU-accelerated 3D rendering plugin for Adobe After Effects, enabling artists to create and animate 3D text, logos, shapes and objects directly inside compositions without requiring a separate 3D application.

The plugin combines geometry creation, material editing, HDRI lighting, ray tracing and animation tools for producing detailed 3D motion graphics within the After Effects workflow.

KEY FEATURES

• 3D Text & Extrusion – convert text, shape layers and masks into 3D objects with customizable bevels and depth.
• Live Editable Text – update text content while preserving materials and animations.
• 3D Model Import – supports FBX, glTF, USD, OBJ, STL and PLY, plus Alembic on macOS.
• Material Editor – node-based material editing with MaterialX, textures, metals, glass and emissive effects.
• 87 Material Presets – built-in materials for 3D design.
• HDRI Lighting – environment-based illumination with shadows and reflections.
• Ray Tracing – realistic reflections, glass, shadows and ambient occlusion.
• 3D Text Animation – supports native After Effects Text Animators and dedicated Letter Animators.
• Deformers – bend, twist, taper, wave and noise deformation controls.
• Replicator – duplicate objects across grids, rings, spheres and spirals.
• Follow Path – animate 3D text along custom paths.
• Lens Flares – built-in flares attached directly to 3D letters.
• Render Passes – diffuse, reflection, shadow, AO, normals, Z-depth and additional passes.
• GPU Acceleration – Metal rendering on macOS and Vulkan on Windows.
