Impossible to create a 3D Cube, 3D Sphere or a 3D Pyramide just with Shape Layers in After Effects?

And without a 3D Stroke plugin?

This really cool tip from ​⁠‪@motiondesignschool‬ inspired me to create 3D Objects with shape layer strokes only:

   • After Effects Tips & Tricks - 3D Cube  

Although path points can only be moved in 2 dimensions I figured out a cheat to put them into 3D space.

The good thing about it is that you can still use the path operators like ‘wiggle path’, ‘trim path’ or ‘repeater.
