Explode Shape Layers 3
Developer: Zack Lovatt
Splits After Effects shape layers into separate pieces, merges them back, and converts text layers to shapes.
What Explode Shape Layers 3 does
Explode Shape Layers 3 is a Zack Lovatt script for working at a finer level with shapes. It splits a shape layer into individual layers and merges them again, giving more precision when animating parts.
A CONVERT action turns text layers into shape layers, and the script works with nested shape groups. You can choose whether EXPLODE affects top-level fills and strokes, and whether CONVERT also removes the artboard. Headless buttons and kbar argument support allow custom toolbars. Artists preparing vector artwork or Illustrator imports for animation will save much manual separation.
