  • After Effects Element 3D problem

    While using the plug-in, I noticed the 3D generating position isn’t working as it should.

    After creating the null object, this will have the same 3D object’s position data, but only the position data from the frame I created the null. Infact, if I rotate the camera without playing, the null will follow the 3D object, but if I change the XYZ values (both of the layer and Element object values), the null won’t follow it.

    With this problem I can’t track a smoke trail on an arrow’s tail using the Particular plug-in, like Andrew Kramer did in this video with the airplane’s wings;

    (1:00 from video start)

    If there’s no solution, how can I track a null on a 3D object in Element 3D.

    Thanks in Advice

    I’m having the same problem for the same reason… trying to create a smoketrail off the wing of a plane. Any fix yet?
