Continuous Rasterisation
Hello All,
I have taken an eps file, put it in a composition and added some scaling and transforming effects. At this stage I have clicked the continuous rasterisation switch and all is working fine. The Vector shape has sharp edges.
But I would like to bevel and extrude my logo. So I need to change my logo into a Shape Layer. However I can now no longer click the C.R switch. It’s greyed out. When I turn on Ray Trace 3D and add effects and lights, the edges on the now shape layer look stressed and rough as if the C.R switch did nothing.
Can anyone help here?
Thx,
Bronwyn

The Continuously Rasterize switch does not function with shape layers regardless of the 3D render engine (Classic or Ray Traced). Shape layers are always Continuously Rasterized.
If the edges are soft or rough it may be that you are previewing in a draft mode, not the final mode. Or the Ray-tracing quality is set too low, check the options in Ray Traced 3D.
Also lights add volume and shading to Ray Traced 3D. This tutorial and free script may assist your efforts. (Shameless self-promotion here 😉 )
