After Effects 3d?

I'm trying to create a vast 3d space w/spheres flying by in After Effects. Is this even possible? Would a 3d animation program be better? There's no complex texturing going on, I just need random patterns of shapes that are lit up various colors...to be wrapped around spheres...that are flying by.

Plugin suggestions?

After Effects can not create true 3d shapes like spheres. It can merely position thigns in a 3d space. You can fake it with a plugin like CC Sphere, but its still just a flat layer.
A real 3d program would be much better for something like this.
