  No 3d with precomp – layer always on top

  Posted by Kenneth Tolaas on January 28, 2010 at 12:52 pm

  Hello, I am having a little trouble with 3d here.

  I have made a 3d-ball by turning a circle on its different axis. I then precomp these layers, and turn on 3d and Collapse Transformations (the star/sun symbol) on the new comp-layer.

  I now have a 3d-ball comp, but the thing is that its position in 3d-space is dependent on its layer-number, and not its real 3d-position.

  

  I get this line where it should say continued rasterisation and motion blur, I dont know if this has got anything to do with it..?

  Thanks for any help.. =)

  See if this page helps: “3D layer interactions, render order, and collapsed transformations”

  Thanks. For now I just parented the layers together, and put most of them in shy mode.

  But I’ll use your link if I cant do that sometime later.

  Thanks again,
