On Creative Cow, Jerzy Drozda Jr. writes:

ShapeExtruder uses Shape Layers in After Effects CS3 to create the illusion of objects being extruded. The only problem was moving paths from Adobe Illustrator to After Effects as Shape Layers because when you copy them from Illustrator and paste them in After Effects they are pasted as masks. The script I’ve mentioned above converts masks to Shape Layers allowing you to create 3D logos easily.

Andrew Kramer has a great tutorial on advanced camera moves, and the tutorial also includes a brief lesson on using Trapcode Particular with After Effects cameras as well.

The tutorial and project file is here.
