3D layer order problem

[Tim Whalen]

Ooh! Please do!

BTW — I cam across this little tidbit:

I think this expression could be used to hide layers that are popping out of place, although I don’t understand the code enough to modify it for my purposes. Your tutorial wouldn’t happen to utilize anything like this, eh?

@Mark Pyper fantastic. That was it.. in fact the problem started occuring, as soon as I tried to enable layer styles.

Try @Mark Pyper suggestion about Layer Styles. Despite there being no layer styles, just turning off the “eye” next to layer style worked.

This fixed the problem (layer order taking precedence over z-space) for me. Thanks!!!

Hey everybody, I have a problem to import a obj file in After Effects.
The file has a lot off layers and importing it in After Effects, the layers join together and that means I can’t give different texture to each element. Do you have any solution for it?
I search long for a solution but I still didn’t find it. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Ps.I am using After Effects CC Version 13.7.0.124

To have access to layers of an obj file in After Effects I believe you need to open the file in Cinema4D Lite (bundled with AE now). You can apply your textures in there.

The other option, I believe, is to use Video Copilot’s Element 3D.

Unfortunately, After Effects does not support 3D objects natively…as far as I know.
