This plugin utilizes a rendered (also known as an ST map or coordinate map) from a 3D program like Cinema 4D, Blender, or Maya. A UV pass converts the structural coordinates of a 3D model into red and green color values. ft-UVPass Pro interprets these colors and wraps any 2D layer or texture across the geometry flawlessly. If a client requests a change to a logo, a car's color scheme, or a digital billboard midway through production, you can replace the 2D asset directly in After Effects without starting a lengthy 3D re-render. 2. ft-PPass2Matte
A position pass assigns unique RGB values based on where a pixel sits in 3D space. With this plugin, you sample a point on your object, and it locks a matte to that exact spatial coordinate. As the camera moves or the object travels through the scene, the matte remains perfectly attached, allowing you to isolate regions for color grading or targeted effects.

This plugin utilizes a UV coordinate pass (sometimes called an ST map or UV map) to remap textures onto your 3D objects directly inside After Effects.
Cons
The After Effects project should be set to at least 16-bit per channel (bpc) , though 32-bit (float) is highly recommended to ensure the raw RGB values remain precise.
A plugin that interprets a linear 3D Position Pass layer. By picking a pixel's unique color signature (representing XYZ coordinates), it generates a localized 3D mask with controllable falloff that moves perfectly with the geometry.
