Beginner problem with a 3D Invigorator object’s animation in another comp
hello,
i am trying to create a wheel for a simple car animation using 3D Invigorator since ae cannot extrude illustrator layers. to reach my goal i created a new comp, in there a new solid, applied the 3d invigorator effect and started it. in 3di i created a new 3d primitive, selected a cylinder and configured size and color to my needs. now the wheel is there but i cannot bind it to my car consisting of several illustrator layers positioned in 3d space to build my car within an individual composition. i added the wheel comp and stuck with its animation bound to the car layer.
can u pros please enlighten me with noob solutions, as i am a beginner? how to fix this problem?

Check out using Null objects and Layer Sets in Invigorator.
You can tie an Invigorator object to a Null then position and animate the null.

hi, i have linked the invigorator object to a controller layer using the invigorator’s set 1 option. also i enabled the use comp camera and comp lighting option. but i cannot animate it in my car layer. it does not respond on any property. it only respondes when changing the controllers properties. i dont know what i do wrong.
could you probably be more specific?

forgot something:
the problem is, when i add the wheel comp to my car comp and make it a 3d layer, transforming works. BUT its a 2d object. when rotating it on the y-axis it gets flat like a stamp at 90°. so i activate the Collapse Transformations switch. this makes it look like in its original comp but then its not transformable anymore. and not parentable to my car comp.
somehow i don’t get it.
regards, mark
