Could you build this?
No Creating a C++/CUDA After Effects plugin that ports complex GPU shading models and depth estimation requires specialized computer graphics and native Adobe SDK engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires the Adobe After Effects SDK (C++), CUDA/HLSL shader development, and integration with depth estimation computer vision models (e.g., Depth-Anything). The developer must build native GPU pipelines to handle frame buffers, normal estimation from depth maps, and real-time custom lighting shading models inside AE's render pipeline.
