    Dotan,

    Try precomposing your “side” with the layer styles applied in the precomp,
    and then making your new precomp 3D.

    Layer styles tend to screw with your 3D stacking order in my experience.

    I am currently having this same problem…any other ideas?

    I have am creating concrete pillars that are 3-dimensional. I want to put video clips on the pillars, like artwork in a gallery. When I apply a bevel and emboss layer style, the video becomes visible on the backside of my pillar. I have all my pillar sides precomposed. I have tried precomposing my video clip and applying the layer style in the precomp, but no luck. Anyone have any experience with this?

    BTW…when I turn off “Collapse Transformations/Continuous Rast.” it fixes it….but then of course I have distortion issues.
