    blur an extruded object?

    Posted by Jef Huey on May 22, 2012 at 12:08 am

    Just started playing with the new extruded object and raytrace renderer.
    I extruded some text then tried to add a Fast Blur. Nothing.

    I precomped the text and added the blur. Nothing.

    Seems like some sort of limitation here. Anybody know what is going on?

    CPU renders only – no GPU.

    You cannot apply effects or masks to Continuously Rasterised Text, Shape Layers and nested comps.

    What you should do is to nest (not precomp) the Ray-traced Comp into another comp. Then apply your effect.
