A Step-by-Step Guide to Extruding and Animating Text in After Effects

Introduction: Why Extruded Text Enhances Your Design

Extruding text in After Effects lets you transform flat, 2D text into a three-dimensional element, adding depth and sophistication to your animations. Combined with the Cinema 4D Renderer, you can achieve stunning visuals with adjustable geometry, lighting, and color options. This guide explains how to extrude, animate, and render text effectively.
Note: While the title references After Effects CS6, this tutorial was created using the 2024 version of After Effects. The steps provided are compatible with CS6 and later versions, as the fundamental process remains largely unchanged. Minor interface differences may exist, but the core functionality for extruding and animating text is consistent across these versions.
