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.
