  3D bug/ or human error?

  Posted by Justyot on April 13, 2006 at 8:28 am

  When using 3D in AE why does a 3d layer below a 2d layer collapse?

  To further explain this I have 2 images online:

  You will see in image 3d.jpg the telephone pole is in a normal position with the above 2d (wires.avi) layer off but in image 2d.jpg with the above 2d (wires.avi) layer on the telephone pole collapses. Why does this occure? I know that if I turn wires.avi into a 3d layer the problem goes away, but I do not want it at a 3d layer. Have I come to the nexus of AE?

  Please help

  Because AE was designed this way. This is intentional and not a bug nor human error. sorry, no way around that other than precomposing your 3D stuff and then overlaying the 2D parts.
