Mettle, the creators of FreeForm Pro, and ShapeShifter Ae post a look at using the ShapeShifter plugin to create and animate morphing 3D shapes.

Create a 3D shape morph animation using the shape tools in After Effects and ShapeShifter AE

One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Mettle products, is that they are one of the very few, that will allow you to create 3D objects directly in After Effects from After Effects shapes and layer masks.

The animation uses a Displacement Map which allows for a completely customizable technique.
