Pixmap Plugin After Effects Link -

(like Blender or C4D) settings used to export the UV passes required for this plugin? PixMap by Wunkolo - itch.io

Consider a 3D scene in Blender exporting a cryptomatte pixmap to a shared memory region. The After Effects Pixmap Plugin reads the region each frame, converting the ID matte to an RGBA selection layer. The link runs at 30 fps on an NVMe drive–backed shared memory block with negligible overhead (<2 ms per frame). Artists can change Blender materials and see After Effects updates without re-importing sequences.

During a freelance job for an indie game trailer, Mateo used Pixmap’s spritesheet exporter. With a single click he generated a neatly packed sheet plus JSON data for frame indices. The animator on the other end thanked him for saving a day’s worth of manual slicing. For motion-graphics work, he loved that Pixmap kept effects like glow and drop shadow editable on the pixel layer so he could finesse silhouettes without touching the underlying shapes.

It turns After Effects from a post-production tool into a live texture server. While the initial setup requires checking IP addresses and firewall rules, the payoff is a near-instant, WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) experience between your 3D world and your 2D comp.
