3D Paper Jam earns its place in the Toolfarm library for bundling four Jam modes, pseudo 3D shading, and a Motion Blur Hack into a single After Effects effect that skips pre-composing.
3D Paper Jam is a plugin from Froggy Team that creates an animated 3D Paper Jam effect inside After Effects, with full controls over the result. It provides four Jam modes and animated geometry parameters for driving the animation.
The plugin includes pseudo 3D shading, a 2 Sided option, and a Motion Blur Hack. Transparency is linked to the Control layer, and the effect does not need you to pre-compose your layers to work within a composition.
Compatibility spans a broad range of After Effects releases, from CS6 through the CC line and on to the 2020 through 2025 versions, so it fits both older and current installs. The most recent update recorded is dated January 10, 2025. It is listed as free in this catalog; check Froggy Team's page for current licensing.
3D Paper Jam is best for after Effects users building an animated 3D Paper Jam effect with adjustable controls.
3D Paper Jam is completely free to download and use.
3D Paper Jam runs in After Effects and lists support for a wide span of releases, from CS6 through CC, CC 2014, CC 2015, CC 2015.3, CC 2017, CC 2018, and CC 2019, up to 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. That range covers older Creative Suite installs alongside current subscription versions, so most After Effects setups should be able to load it. For the definitive list tied to your exact build, check the developer's page before installing.
3D Paper Jam does not require you to pre-compose your layers to produce its animated 3D Paper Jam effect, which keeps the setup contained within your existing composition. It ships with four Jam modes and animated geometry parameters for building the effect, and skipping the pre-compose step is called out directly as one of its features. For details on how each mode and control behaves in your project, the developer's page is the place to look.
3D Paper Jam links transparency to the Control layer, so the effect's transparency is tied to that layer rather than set independently. Alongside this, the plugin offers pseudo 3D shading, a 2 Sided option, and a Motion Blur Hack as part of its feature set. These controls shape how the animated paper jam effect renders. To see exactly how the Control layer drives transparency in practice, refer to the developer's documentation.
3D Paper Jam is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it to After Effects without a purchase noted here. Froggy Team develops the plugin, and the most recent update recorded is dated January 10, 2025. Because licensing terms can change over time, check the developer's page for the current details on cost and usage rights before you rely on it for a project.
