Continuously rasterise a precomp
Hi- sorry if I seem to be monopolising the forum at present, believe me I have searched available resources , I have a precomp of a route created with a pen drawn line to which I’ve applied 3d stroke animated … when I bring this into my ‘master’ comp it has cc sphere applied, it looks OK but if I zoom in a lot it gets pretty soft and if I hit continuously rasterise it disappears … this is, I guess, a render pipe-line order thing but really can’t get my head around it. Any advice please ?
Regards Roger

do you have a camera in the pre-comp? or 3d layers?
if so, then you will also need a camera in the main comp. Thats usually the reason things vanish when i switch on the continuous raster.

Thanks Adam, no, sadly no cameras or 3d layers anywhere …

Why not do everything in the master comp – ie apply 3D Stroke and then CC Sphere in that order in the master comp. This should help with the softening unless CC Sphere has a large radius setting. If this is the case then ensure that the Solid where both effects are applied is of a much larger resolution. This will preclude you from having to set a high radius value.
The disappearing pixels is most likely due to settings. Try resetting CC Sphere to see if the missing pixels return.

Mr Kahlenberg … good of you to reply … sadly the result’s the same, the 3d stroked line isn’t terrible, in fact adding a couple of pixels of fast blur has hidden the pixelation pretty much – and a touch of ‘glow’ has hidden the blur so my original desire for a sharp line has become a bit compromised … smoke and mirrors rule !
Thank you – Roger
