3D Letters Animator earns a spot in the aescripts library as a free 3D title builder, offering more than 120 letter animations across 6 categories in a 1.0 initial release.
3D Letters Animator is an After Effects tool from MotionDesk for creating 3D titles with special letter animations. You can customize the font, material, lighting, direction, and more while building a title.
The pack includes more than 120 letter animations split across 6 categories, along with 6 ready-made materials, 5 designed for the Element 3D plugin and one that does not require any plugins. It works with any font, and you can set the delay and direction for how letters appear. Materials, lighting, orientation, wiggle effects, and more are all fully customizable.
This is version 1.0, the initial release, updated on January 15, 2025, and compatible with After Effects 2025 and 2024. A demo video is available. The plugin is listed here as free.
3D Letters Animator is best for after Effects artists building animated 3D titles who want ready-made letter animations and customizable fonts, materials, and lighting.
3D Letters Animator is completely free to download and use.
3D Letters Animator is compatible with After Effects 2025 and 2024, so projects on either of those releases can run it. This is the 1.0 version, released on January 15, 2025 as the initial version, so support outside those two named releases isn't stated here. If you're working on an older or newer build of After Effects, check the developer's page for the current compatibility list before installing to confirm it fits your setup.
3D Letters Animator ships with 6 ready-made materials, and 5 of them are designed for the Element 3D plugin while one does not require any plugins. If you have Element 3D, you can use all six; without it, you can still work with the material that needs no plugins. Beyond the materials, the tool works with any font and lets you set the delay and direction of letters, so plenty stays usable regardless of Element 3D.
3D Letters Animator works with any font, so you can swap in a changeable font of your choice for your 3D titles. Alongside the font, you can customize the material, lighting, orientation, and wiggle effects, and set the delay and direction for how each letter appears. It includes more than 120 letter animations across 6 categories to apply to your text. For a look at these options in motion, a demo video is available.
3D Letters Animator is listed here as free. Licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before downloading.
