Knoll Light Factory Obscuration Layer + Zaxwerks
For some reason I cannot seem to get KLF to do the obscuration with my Invigorator shape. It will work with text layers however. I can see that the Invigorator shape in generating an alpha channel. I tell KLF to use the zaxwerks shape layer as the obscuration layer via the alpha and it just does not show up. How can I get this to work??

As far as I know, KLF is seeing the Invigorator layer as a comp size solid, not a 3D object with an alpha channel. I would try precomposing the 3D layer into a separate comp and importing it back into your main comp, then just hide that flat precomposed version of your 3D layer and use that as the obscuration layer. What this is doing is making KLF see the obscuration layer as a true flat AE layer with alpha rather than something generated by a 3rd party plugin.

Thanks for the reply Justin. I tried pre composing and the Zax shape no longer follows the camera in the same way. What I ended up doing was to render out the Zax shape by itself with alpha and re import that into the comp and KLF likes that better.
