FontObj

Developer: GothLab

Download Free

After Effects extension that turns typed text into real 3D OBJ geometry and exports it.

What FontObj does

FontObj creates a mesh from text without leaving After Effects. Type the words, choose a font and set size, extrusion depth and tracking, then save a clean OBJ file ready for any 3D application.

This helps motion designers who need 3D lettering for other renderers or pipelines but don't want to model it. It's compatible with After Effects 2020 through 2026 and comes from GothLab, so the whole workflow stays inside the compositing app until you need the mesh elsewhere.

Key features
