Aescripts – Polyline is a new tool that allows colored, fully controllable polygonal lines to be drawn in the real 3D space of After Effects. These lines can be sewn through different 3D layers without elaborate comping.

Motion Boutique – Polyline Plugin Features

• Generates 3D Polygonal Lines: Colorful and easy-to-animate straight lines are drawn in After Effect’s 3D space, which can blend with all other 3D layers.
• Easy Editing: Each segment’s path, color, and texture or the entire line can be edited after creation.
• Flexible Control: Options for line thickness, color hymns, and closed shapes.
• Segment Animation: Makes use of null objects for segment animation.

Despite their ability, stay alert to these restrictions:

• Potential Display Issues: Overuse of the built-in corner pin effects may result in display glitches.
• Motion Path Limitations: Not all motion paths can be motioned polylines to (for instance, those with strict orthogonal segments).
• Texture Deformation: Texture distortion might happen when the segments are rotated.
