hey, does anyone know of a free plugin for aftereffects that is similar to stroke 3d?
Stroke 3d
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Stroke 3d I assume you are looking for a free solution to Trapcode's 3d stroke?
Do you need to be able to animate the camera, or just have the appearance of a 3d line?

yeah, i dont really have any preference,other than wanting the lines to move in 3d. ill take whatever you have though
Depending on what you want to do, you could try the free plugin "sinedots" Do a Google search to find it.
Also, This may not help much, but before getting 3d stroke I always animated these in a 3d package. (Actually I still do use a 3d package most of the time) If you use 3ds max, you can even render to an .RPF sequence that After Effects can extract the 3d camera info from. That way the 3d footage and AE footage mixes seamlessly.
You can also try using the regular stroke that comes with after effects and with a slight camera move and image warping you can cheat things a bit.
Hope some of that helps
