FontObj stands out in the aescripts library as a focused text-to-OBJ extension, sitting at rank 49 and covering After Effects releases back to 2020.
FontObj is an extension for After Effects that converts text into real 3D OBJ geometry. You type your text and choose a font, and the extension builds geometry you can export as an OBJ file directly from After Effects.
The workflow is driven by a few parameters. After picking a font, you set the size, dial in the extrude, and adjust the tracking. Those settings shape the letters before FontObj writes out a clean OBJ file.
FontObj is at version 1.0 and supports a wide range of After Effects releases: 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020. A demo video is available. On aescripts, FontObj ranks 49, and it earns its spot in the library as a straightforward way to convert After Effects text into exportable 3D geometry.
FontObj is best for after Effects users who want to turn text into real 3D OBJ geometry and export it as an OBJ file.
FontObj is completely free to download and use.
FontObj supports a broad span of After Effects releases, from 2020 up through 2026, including 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. If you're running any of those versions, the extension is listed as compatible. FontObj is currently at version 1.0, last updated on June 30, 2026. For exact system requirements and any details tied to a specific After Effects build, check the developer's page before installing.
FontObj exports OBJ files. You type your text, choose a font, and set the size, extrude, and tracking, and the extension turns that into real 3D geometry that it writes out as a clean OBJ. The export happens directly from After Effects, so you generate the geometry and produce the OBJ in the same place. For details on how the resulting OBJ is structured, the developer's page is the best reference.
FontObj is listed here as free. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so the developer's page on aescripts is the place to confirm the current terms before you download. Beyond cost, that page also covers version details and compatibility. FontObj is at version 1.0 and was last updated on June 30, 2026, and it supports After Effects releases from 2020 through 2026.
FontObj has a demo video available. If you want to see the extension before installing, that's a good starting point alongside the developer's page on aescripts, which carries the full listing. The extension itself covers a clear task: you type text, choose a font, adjust size, extrude, and tracking, and export a clean OBJ from After Effects. FontObj is at version 1.0 and works with After Effects 2020 through 2026.
