Ramiro A. Fernandez has an interesting technique of taking multiple instances of a movie file (he uses flames) and offsetting them in time and 3D space. It’s a lovely effect and he doesn’t use any 3rd party plug-ins.
I’m thinking that this could be automated with a plug-in that can replicate and/or work with multiple layers of the same file in 3D space.
Download free demos of all three plug-ins at Toolfarm and try them out.
Creative Dojo posted a super useful organization script a couple of weeks ago for After Effects. “Dojo Task List is a free script under the ‘Name Your Own Price’ platform. If you find the script useful, feel free to donate whatever amount you’d like.” Creative Dojo is always posting great stuff so please support them!

Sean Frangella has put up a cool new tutorial explaining what his favorite five Expressions and gives some tips on how to use expressions for better animation. He shows ways of simplifying your workflow, including wiggle, time, and more. Good stuff.
1. Shinsuke Matsumoto has a free cube preset for AE and it’s lots of fun. It’s all done with After Effects shape layers. I’m sure a person could find many uses for it.
Download the Isometric Cube Preset for AE CC or AE CS5.5 and above on Shinsuke’s site, Beatgram. He also has a couple more examples of what he has done with the preset.
2. Mikey of After Effects Tutorials w/ Mikey also has an ISO CUBE preset. Download it here.
Here’s what he did with it.
Isometric Cubes are just a simple piece of geometry but look at what you can do with them!
There is a tutorial, Create a 3D isometric effect, that explains the project at Creativebloq.com.
They used Adobe After Effects, CINEMA 4D and Flash in this project.
