STMapper for After Effects
STMapper can distort layers with ST maps, plug in UV passes from your 3D renders, and create blank ST maps to bake down your transforms and distortions.
If you've ever round-tripped through Nuke just to apply lens distortion, wrestled to use a UV pass from a 3D render, or given up on baking down a stack of transforms into something reusable, STMapper is for you. It brings the industry-standard ST map workflow natively to After Effects, with a streamlined and easy-to-use workflow.
