Depth map / 3D export

Hi,

 

When I work with the character animator I can see the mesh, which tells me that some sort of depth map or 3D model is being generated. Is there a way for me to have it exported somewhere (e.g. depth map to photoshop)?

 

I want to play with some depth effects in the After Effects, but it requires quite a lot of work if I go about it manually. I am fine with having something crude. Is that a thing that is possible? Failing to find some reasonable workflow

That is not a depth map, but rather works like puppet warp.

As said, character animator is 2d animation. The mesh is a 2d mesh, not a 3d one. If you want to turn a head, you can manually draw a completely new head looking to a side and CH can swap the picture in instead.
