  • 3D layer color fades with Distance from camera

    Posted by Logan King on April 2, 2015 at 10:59 pm

    Hi Guys,
    I am creating a 2.5 D parallax scene.

    Problem :

    When I space out 3 or more layers in the Z axis (depth) the layer that is furthest from the camera appears to be slightly faded in color than the ones closer to the camera.
    I m sure there is a simple fix which I am grossly over looking can someone please let me know what can I do to reduce this fade / blurr ??

    Do you have depth of focus turned on from the camera? You can change that by double-clicking the camera and unchecking the DOF box.

    Hi John,
    If you are referring to the Depth of Field box then NO, its turned off.

    I figured it out what I was doing wrong.

    All the layers contained vector files and the comp sizes were different in each case.

    So all I had to do was to make the comp sizes match up and re scale them in the main comp accordingly and turn the vector switch on.

    That solved it for me.

    Thanks anyways.
