3D Strangeness….
I’ll do my best to describe this… Hopefully someone’s got an idea.
I’m working in a large 3d comp of a road with a car driving down it. The car was done in a 3d app, with camera data exported to AE so I could build the environments. I’ve created a precomp with a road layout from above so I could place things accurately. Everything was working fine until I started trying to do some coloration… The trees, for example, are placed within that precomp, rotated correctly for the perspective in the master comp. They work fine normally, but when I apply an effect, like Brightness & Contrast, they seem to lose their 3d-ness. Out in the master comp, the trees no longer move with the camera. Even having the effect applied but disabled causes this… Any thoughts? Did I describe this well enough? Can provide screenshots if necessary. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to respond to this so late, but maybe one of these sections of After Effects CS3 Help will help:
“Render order and collapsing transformations”
“How render order and collapsed transformations affect 3D layers”Without seeing your project, I can only guess, but it sounds like the application of the effect is triggering a change in the render order of your 3D layers and precompositions.

How about taking a survey about After Effects documentation? Please?
