  AE doesn’t have a real 3D system — it’s 2.5D, sometimes described as “cards in space.” Nothing in AE has real depth, but 3D layers may be arranged in 3D space like sheets of paper.

  All 3D effects in AE are actually flat renders that appear to have depth. Particular should always be on a 2D layer. Particular itself will emulate the camera’s view; making the Particular layer 3D will reveal that the layer is truly flat (as all AE layers are) as the camera moves.

  An X across a Particular layer is the watermark that the trial version embeds. You should purchase a license if you don’t have one, or re-install and re-serialize the plugin if you do.
