This is the flagship feature. It allows you to place a layer inside a composition and "map" it using the UV data.
Fully supports Multi-Frame Rendering (MFR) in After Effects, significantly speeding up render times on modern workstations. It is also native to Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3 chips).
Allows you to apply 2D textures directly onto a 3D render, perfectly following the geometry, movement, and deformation of the original 3D object.

Your UV/ST pass (a red-and-green gradient pass representing X and Y coordinates). Step 2: Set Up Your After Effects Timeline
AEScripts ft-UVPass Bundle v5.5.1a for After Effects is a professional-grade toolset designed to streamline the 3D compositing workflow by utilizing UV data directly within the After Effects timeline. This bundle provides artists with the ability to re-texture objects, apply maps, and fix 3D renders without returning to a dedicated 3D application.
This article dives deep into what this bundle does, why version 5.5.1a is a game-changer, and how to integrate it into your professional pipeline. This is the flagship feature
Use the "Dilate" and "Smooth" sliders to blend the edges perfectly. Technical Specifications Requirement Software Adobe After Effects CS6 – 2024+ OS Windows & macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon) Color Depth Supports 8, 16, and 32-bpc (float) Version v5.5.1a (Current Maintenance Release)
: Includes parameters for selecting, tiling, repeating, and offsetting textures. Modern Support
Tips for best results
: Working hand-in-hand with position passes, this utility isolates specific 3D coordinate regions to generate isolated, tracked 3D mattes and masks. It allows you to select areas based on spatial depth or object zones to modify fine details without rotoscoping. Key Capabilities and Production Use Cases 1. Dynamic Texture Swapping & Mockups
Enables direct 2D texture application onto 3D renders, allowing textures to perfectly follow 3D geometry.
Instead of waiting for a 10-minute 3D render to check a texture change, you can see the result instantly in After Effects. It is also native to Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3 chips)
