Photoshop Extrude Effect in AE?

I have been trying work this out for a while, and it should be easier than this, but it appears you need to create vector layers in Illustrator then import the .ai file. This Youtube tutorial should help. Remember Ray-trace mentioned in the video is now superseded by Cinema 4D.

Just to be sure, you're talking about Filter > Stylize > Extrude... in Photoshop, correct?

I think it's safe to say that there's no After Effects Effect that matches that Photoshop Filter and sadly the days of being able to load Photoshop Filters in After Effects went away when PS adopted the Filter Gallery.  (Once upon a magical time it was possible to load the PS Filters in AE and they appeared with "PS+" in the AE Effects pulldown menu.)

You can export an Image Sequence from AE and then run a PS Batch Action on them, applying PS Extrude at the desired settings.  You could opt to go with a PSD Image Sequence and take advantage of being able to have layers.  Your action could make a duplicate layer and then apply Extrude to the duplicate and then save.  The merged result will be viewed in AE.

You can also render a high resolution video from AE and open that in PS (it'll load as a Layer in a Video Group), apply the Filter and then use File > Export > Render Video to render a file that you can bring back into AE.   Exporting video from PS is clunky at best., so this might be better for short movies (just a few seconds in duration).  Also, be sure to convert the Video Layer to a Smart Object so that you don't have to apply the Filter one frame at a time.
