3D rotating cube with consistent strokes?
Hi all,
Trying to make a “3D” outlined rotating cube in AE CC 2015 (13.8.1.38). I want the stroke widths/perspectives to remain consistent, hence using the stroke layer style. The sides alone work great; the strokes remain constant through the rotation. But as shown in my render below, the strokes follow the layer hierarchy and don’t behave like I want. How can I apply the stroke to each side but after the 3D is applied? Is Cinema 4D Lite (or a Trapcode plug-in) the best way to go about this, or is there something I’m missing?
Thank you!

Try the C4D renderer approach here: https://forums.adobe.com/message/9289002
Or try to fake it by keeping it 2D like here

Thanks, Roei! Very helpful. Unfortunately I doubt the “fake 2D” approach would work for the spinning cube effect I’m going for, so I’m gonna go with your C4D technique ☺
