Collapse Transformations / Continuous Rasterise removes gradient ramp effect.

[Kris Strobeck]

@waltersoyka, great response and thank you for sharing this a few years ago. I’m just now showing up here and have been able to do well, but I’m having an issue. I use vector graphics for animated videos and also use continuous rasterize for quality. Simple enough.

When I pre-compose, if I zoom far in to the pre-composition in the original comp using a camera, I see image degradation. So, it appears that it doesn’t fully treat layers as if they are directly in the first composition. When this happens, I tick collapse transformations and it seems to heighten the graphic to behave as fully continuously rasterizing. So, no problem so far.

Now, I’d like to use the puppet tool to do some character movements and still use either a direct layer in my main comp or a pre-composed layer. It breaks the layer in the same comp if I try to use puppet tool and 3d layer on the same layer and a camera, so I precompose. But I still cannot use the puppet tool and use a 3d approach to move between objects without sacrificing quality even though I’m using vector and continuous rasterize.

I hope that was somewhat clear and I appreciate anyone’s help on this!

Thanks again!
