Multi 3d parametric meshes per layer

Loving the new parametric 3d mesh feature released in 2026, allowing us to create basic shapes within AE.

They are now really similar to shape layers, with one key difference - we can only have one parametric object per layer.

Being able to add more per layer would provide the freedom to create more complex 3d objects without having loads of layers on the timeline, keeping everything more organised, and enabling materials to be changed in once place.

I also think this better opens up to future possibilities of having more complex parametric 3d models, by being able to implement things like booleans, repeaters, and other mesh modifiers, in a similar way to what we’re used to with shape layers.
