_Layer Bender_ is a 100% free download that lets you bend, curve, or curl any layer in three dimensions in After Effects. To download, go to https://CreationEffects.com, then head to the Freebies page. If you download the bender, please like or comment below.
_Layer Bender_ works with the Classic 3D renderer, so it's compatible with all your projects. Also, it can do some things you can't do with the standard "Curvature" feature in the Cinema 4D renderer – like adding multiple bends, controlling where the bend starts and ends, curling a layer into a spiral, and changing the direction of the bend. It can be used to curve footage, images, text, shape layers, solid layers, or a precomp layer. Easily create sharp curves at any part of the layer, or gradual curves along the entire width of the layer. You can choose how many segments your layer has, to create smoother curves. Compatible with AE v.17 (2020) and up.
This free tool, and the other free presets from Creation Effects, will be very useful for any motion designer or After Effects user.
This tool was developed for _Infinite Horizon_ – a unique AE template for creating trippy, perspective-bending scenes from your landscape footage. Learn more at creationeffects.com/infinite-horizon.
