Frequently asked questions

Does TypeMonkey 3D work with After Effects 2026?

TypeMonkey 3D lists compatibility with After Effects 2026, 2025 and 2024, so it supports After Effects 2026. It also requires After Effects 2024 or later, which lines up with that range. The current version is 1.02, released on November 12, 2025, and the tool first shipped on February 1, 2024. Beyond After Effects, TypeMonkey 3D requires TypeMonkey itself. If you are on one of these After Effects versions with TypeMonkey installed, you meet the stated requirements; check the developer's page to confirm details for your setup.

Does TypeMonkey 3D require TypeMonkey to be installed?

TypeMonkey 3D requires TypeMonkey and After Effects 2024 or later. It works with TypeMonkey text and converts it into 3D, so TypeMonkey needs to be present for the script to do its job. On the After Effects side, TypeMonkey 3D lists compatibility with After Effects 2024, 2025 and 2026. If you do not already own TypeMonkey, you would need that first; for current details on both, see the developer's page.

Is TypeMonkey 3D free?

TypeMonkey 3D is listed as free in this catalog, so there is no price shown for it. Licensing can change over time, and the most recent update, version 1.02 on November 12, 2025, updated the licensing framework. For that reason, the developer's page is the best place to confirm current licensing and any conditions before you download. If you already run TypeMonkey and a supported After Effects version, you meet the stated requirements to use it.

What changed in TypeMonkey 3D version 1.02?

TypeMonkey 3D version 1.02, released on November 12, 2025, updated the licensing framework. Earlier, version 1.01 on May 29, 2025 automatically set the source for the environment light, and the initial 1.0.0 release arrived on February 1, 2024. That gives a short history from launch through the current build. For the full changelog and any details beyond these entries, the developer's page is the place to look before updating.
