  3d layers in pre-composing

  Posted by Andrei Firtich on October 13, 2005 at 7:42 pm

  Hi…I have a problem using 3d layers in precomposing. Lets call comp A and precomp B. When I place B into A, the 3d layer that is located in B is viewed with a default view from A instead of a custom view from B. Is there any way I can remedy that w/o rendering out B seperatly?
  Thx in advance

  You can’t render out custom views, only the active camera view. You’ll need to create a camera and reposition it to emulate the custom view, then render out the active camera view.

  Thx…I’ll try it out…So are you saying that you can’t render out a custom view at all? It looks fine on my RAM preview, is it different when you actually try to render it out?

  That’s what I’m saying. You can RAM Preview them but they can’t be rendered. You can’t save the RAM Preview either.
