Why we like it

Naked-Eye 3D earns its place in the aescripts library by pairing perspective-guide camera matching with a section-based LED unwrap workflow in a single dockable After Effects panel.

What is Naked-Eye 3D?

Naked-Eye 3D is a script for After Effects from NickolasM, built for creating camera-matched anamorphic and naked-eye 3D billboard scenes. It generates a One-Node After Effects camera from red, green, and blue perspective guide lines, and you can duplicate those guides for more stable vanishing point calculation. Once the camera is matched, you build 3D elements in the correct perspective.

The Section Chain Unwrap workflow marks flat, corner, or segmented LED screens as connected sections with shared edges and no gaps. Each section can have its own output width while all sections share one common output height. It produces individual unwrap compositions per section along with a combined flat LED output composition, and Quick Rebuild updates the output after you adjust screen corner points.

The tool runs as a dockable ScriptUI panel with separate Camera Match and Unwrap modules, and works with built-in After Effects layers, compositions, expressions, and effects. No external services or AI processing are required; internet access is only used by the aescripts licensing framework.

Who is Naked-Eye 3D best for?

Naked-Eye 3D is best for naked-eye 3D billboard previews, anamorphic 3D LED screen workflows, and preparing flat, corner, curved, or segmented LED screen output from camera-matched After Effects scenes.

How much does Naked-Eye 3D cost?

Naked-Eye 3D is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which After Effects versions does Naked-Eye 3D support?

Naked-Eye 3D is compatible with After Effects 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with 2024 or newer recommended. It runs as a dockable ScriptUI panel inside After Effects and uses built-in layers, compositions, expressions, and effects, so it stays within the application's native toolset. If you are on an older release, the developer's page on aescripts confirms the current supported range before you install.

Does Naked-Eye 3D need an internet connection or external services?

Naked-Eye 3D requires no external services or AI processing to run. It works entirely with built-in After Effects layers, compositions, expressions, and effects, so the camera matching and screen unwrap steps all happen locally within your After Effects project. Internet access is only used by the aescripts licensing framework, which handles license verification. This keeps the workflow self-contained aside from that licensing check, letting you match cameras and build LED output without relying on outside processing.

How many screen sections can Naked-Eye 3D handle?

Naked-Eye 3D lets you add as many connected screen sections as needed. Use one section for a flat screen, two sections for a corner screen, or many sections for a curved or segmented display. Adjacent sections share edges so they stay connected with no gaps, each section can carry its own output width, and all sections share one common output height. The tool then builds individual unwrap compositions and one combined flat LED output.

Is Naked-Eye 3D free?

Naked-Eye 3D is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing is handled through the aescripts framework, which includes trial support, and internet access is used only for that license verification. For current licensing terms and any trial details, the developer's page on aescripts is the place to confirm before downloading. Version 1.0 was released on May 30, 2026 as the initial release.
