  • 3D text layers and shadows issues

    Posted by Sebastien Bruzzo on December 8, 2020 at 11:40 am

    Hello there folks !

    Problem : in a 3D scene in AE, I have text layers and a shadow catcher (a simple solid).
    I want to apply a slider control on the text layer (or any other effect), but then the text shadows just disappear on the text layer AND other 3D layers. When I move the layers to the top of the hierarchy, the shadows reappear, except on the text layers I moved on the top.

    Thanks for your help.

    Sometimes things like this will happen when there is a 2D layer (such as an adjustment layer) between your 3D layers. For instance, between your shadow catcher and the text layers.
