Why we like it

WIR3D earns its place in the aescripts library as a focused tool: it turns a single shape layer into a 3D wireframe, with compatibility stretching from After Effects 2020 through 2025.

What is WIR3D?

WIR3D is an After Effects plugin from mograph.tools that generates 3D wireframe shapes from a single shape layer. You supply one shape layer, and the plugin builds the wireframe geometry from it, all inside After Effects.

The plugin is compatible with a wide span of After Effects versions, running on 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. The current release is version 1.2.1, last updated on January 5, 2024, which marked its initial release on aescripts.com. A demo video is available for anyone who wants a closer look.

Licensing is handled per activation: each license includes two activations, so you can run WIR3D on two machines. It is listed as free in this catalog, though licensing terms can change, so the developer's page is the place to confirm current details.

Who is WIR3D best for?

WIR3D is best for after Effects users who want to generate 3D wireframe shapes from a shape layer.

How much does WIR3D cost?

Frequently asked questions

Does WIR3D work with After Effects 2025?

WIR3D supports After Effects 2025, and it also runs on 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020. That range covers several years of releases, so you can use it on current installations as well as older projects still running earlier versions. The plugin is currently at version 1.2.1, last updated on January 5, 2024. If you work across multiple After Effects versions, check the developer's page to confirm the details for your specific setup before installing.

How many machines can I run WIR3D on?

WIR3D includes two activations with each license, so a single license lets you run it on two machines. If you need it on more than two computers, you would need additional licenses to cover them. The activation count is set per license, so the limit applies to the number of installs you run. For the current licensing terms and any updates to how activations work, the developer's page is the place to confirm the details before you commit.

Is WIR3D free to use?

WIR3D is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so the developer's page is the best place to confirm the current arrangement before you download it. Each license comes with two activations, letting you run the plugin on two machines. If you plan to rely on it in production, it is worth checking the developer's page for the latest terms, version details, and any conditions that apply to your use.

What input does WIR3D need to create a wireframe?

WIR3D generates 3D wireframe shapes from a single shape layer in After Effects. You begin with one shape layer, and the plugin builds the wireframe from it. The current release is version 1.2.1, updated on January 5, 2024, and a demo video is available. To confirm how it handles your own shape layers and to review the latest details, the developer's page is a good starting point before you install.
