shadows not showing up in 3d layers
Howdy,
I’ve been having the same issue with several layers in a comp that I’ve been working on. It’s happened a few times where I’ve duplicated a layer and for some reason the 3d shadows don’t show up any more. Has anybody experienced this before and if so how is it solved?

You have shy layers enabled, no? You may have a shy 2D layer between the light and your 3D layers.

[Steve Roberts] “You have shy layers enabled, no? You may have a shy 2D layer between the light and your 3D layers.”
This is my theory as well.
Try disabling the shy switch and checking to make sure your casting layer and your receiving layer are both in the same 3D ‘section’ (that is no 2D layers in between them in the layer order). While you’re there, double check that your receive layer will receive shadows and that your light is set to cast them 🙂

hi guys,
sorry for the delay, I had to work on other projects for the past week or so. Ye were spot on about the layers, I had a 2d layer in between them that has particular effects on it, is there any way I can still have the 3D particle effects on the 2d layer without them affecting the rest of the layers
