Ben Rollason posted at aescript.com “3D Bevel adds a dynamic bevel to a 3D After Effects layer, which reacts to an After Effects light source. It creates the effect that the layer’s edges are illuminated by the light source.”
DistributeLayers is a script by Charles Bordenave, this script allows you to distribute the selected layers in 3D space. In addition to offset position, you can offset rotation/scale/opacity and adds some randomness. The “Factor” parameter allows non-linear offset between layers.
Stu Maschwitz is introducing a new Prolost feature designed to help you determine The Shot You Can Make, something needed because of burgeoning options in new cameras. “It’s called the Shot You Can Make (SYCM) Simulator, and it’s sort of a 3D ‘Marcie’ for focal length and depth of field.”, Stu has shared a MobileMe galleries with different results, see it.

Angie Taylor shares a free tutorial from the After Effects CS5: Learn By Video DVD on how to use the Puppet tool in After Effects. She comment “The Puppet tool is as fun to use as a kids toy so get stuck in, have some fun and learn how to use this great set of tools to create your own fun animations.”
From aescripts.com we can read “This plugin generates a ring as a texture for shockwaves, etc for visual effects. It has enough options to be fairly flexible, but not so much as to be overbearing.” Great to reforce explosions!.
From aescripts.com we can read “YY_Seamless is a plugin which will create seamlessly-tileable textures for other plugins which require them like CC Sphere, CC Cylinder, Polar Coordinates, etc. or any 3D program. It works by creating a copy of the texture offset by 50%, and smoothly interpolating between the offset and the original texture.”
Ian Haigh posted a preset for basic bounces called EbbertBounce.ffx, from the original article we can read “There are sliders to adjust amplitude, decay, and frequency. By tweaking these you’ll be able to achieve a variety of effects. I recommend reading Dan’s original post about this expression too. “
