stroke craziness
I take a map (jpg), and then put a solid layer above it. Set both layers to 3D. I then set up a camera and few simple moves.
I draw a few lines (mask paths) on the solid and then apply a Stroke effect (not 3D stroke) to it.
Here’s the crazy bit: everything works fine until I hit the ‘continuous rasterization’ on the solid layer. Suddenly the mask paths seem to jump position in 3D space. In fact, if I use a ‘top’ or ‘left’ view the lines don’t actually move (in the X, Y, Z pos) but in the regular camera view they have shifted considerably. What am I doing wrong?

Hmm, I had your problem before and solved it, but I can’t remember everything I did.
I know one problem was that the comp had to be Square Pixels, not D1. Try that and see if it works. I’ll try to dig up what else I may have done.

is it a known bug?

Don’t know if it’s a bug or something that has to do with the way the software works. Did you try it?

Boy, that’s annoying. It seems to make the stroke “2D”, or flat to camera. The mask still follows the layer, but the stroke forgets that it’s 3D. Bummer.
No solution yet — sorry.

Thanks guys. The only solution I have found is to pre-comp the solid layer, however this has other implications (why does pre-comping a layer and then applying ‘collapse transformations’ effect the lighting in the main comp?)…
