3D Functionality: The same power and control of 3D applications right inside After Effects.
Control: All controls for manipulation are right inside the After Effects comp window.
Speed: Powered by a proprietary, full 3D rendering engine to provide beautiful, high-quality renders fast.
Never leave After Effects: Makes it easy to create 3D effects which previously required a dedicated 3D program or high-end workstation.
Depth, Dimensions, and Displacement: True 3D displacement mapping.
Picks up where After Effects ends: Bend, twist, distort, shape your layer any way you please right in the After Effects comp window.
"FreeForm AE offers After Effects a huge feature that used to push artists to other systems; no longer must a job go to Flame for what Autodesk calls "extended bicubics," and the result is fully integrated with AE's own 3D camera and lighting system. How cool is that, integrating curved 3D planes into After Effects?"
-Mark Christiansen, author of After Effects CS4 Visual Effects & Compositing Studio Techniques
"Thanks a million...I've just downloaded FreeForm AE and it's amazing ...the amount of control of 3D shapes is what will keep me from migrating to Fusion or Nuke...and after the great disappointment with new 3D features of CS4, I'm in love again with After Effects, all thanks to your amazing plugin. Right now I am in class showing this new wonder to my students...imagine their faces (no more "now we go from 3ds Max to After Effects and... :-)"
-Juan Urquhart, Computer Arts Teacher, Los Pinos Centro Educativo, Uruguay
"I've long been envious of 3D applications and their ability to take a flat object and manipulate that object into almost any shape using a mesh in 3D space. Well now there is finally a product that allows all the same power and control right inside Adobe After Effects. It's powerful and easy to use. It has much better control and provides much better quality than anything else available for After Effects. Quite simply put, I could not achieve many of the things I have without this plug . It is a must have in your arsenal of plugins."

Reviews
"What [FreeForm AE] does looks extremely complex, and produces results that you would normally see only come from a 3D program, but on the flip side, it’s VERY simple to use, and you will be wowing your clients with your new 3D capabilities in no time!"
Kevin McAuliffe - Audio Video Producer

" Digieffects latest plug-in, Freeform AE, aims to bolster After Effect’s 3D toolset, allowing you to warp layers in 3D in a way that’s just not possible using the core application. It combines a 3D version of After Effect’s own Mesh Warp tool with the ability to distort layers in 3D using an image as a displacement map, creating a cohesive whole that many motion graphics artists will love."
