  Problem with rotating 3D shapes

  Posted by Freek Van der beek on September 20, 2017 at 8:32 pm

  Hello everybody,

  I can’t find the solution to properly Y-rotate a shape i created in 3D around it’s center.

  If i make a circle and want to rotate it on the Y axis, it shifts the center on the left and right out of proportion, as if the center is shifted constantly.

  The effect i try to create is basically have an ellipse stretching in and out.

  Everything is symmetrical; the shape, the composition, camera values.

  Here’s what AE does now:

  

  And this is the effect that i woud like to achieve (manually adjusted, sloppy):

  

  I really hope someone can help me with this.

  Thank you

  With the layer selected, go to Layer > Transform > Center Anchor Point in Layer Content.
