    Hi all

    I’m working on a composition, inside the parent composition is a precomp containing all the 3d lights/ material options etc. `The 3D objects are shapes created in AE taken from original AI vectors.

    When I export the parent compositon the 3D precomp inside loses sharpness. When I export the pre comp on its own, all is ok.

    The pre comp hasn’t been scaled up in the parent, so I’ve not switched collapse transformations on (and of course, when I do this now, the sky falls in and the precomp loses its entire 3D character!)

    I have used a camera within the precomp, and at one stage the 3D object moves quite far back away from the camera in the 3D space. Could it be a depth of field issue?

    Does anyone know whats causing this?

    Do you have depth of field turned on?
