Activity Forums Adobe After Effects 3D Layer Issue

  • 3D Layer Issue

    I looked through the archives for a similar question/answer and found nothing for this.

    AE 17.5.1

    iMac Mojave 10.14.6

    I’m making a very simple camera move that just moves ahead and has several objects at different z-spaces. However a couple of elements are not in the correct z space (see example) they should be either in front of certain objects or behind and I cannot figure out why it wont.

    I am using png’s, psds and illustrator assets. I have never had this issue before…any help would be appreciated.

    Do you have any 2D layers in between your 3D layers in your timeline? That can affect draw order. To be safe, have your layer order in the timeline be consistent with what you’re trying to achieve in 3D space, and don’t have any 2D layers mixed within your “stack” of 3D layers.

    I’ll try that now Terry.

    Thank you!
