  • Major AE 6.5 to 7.0 3D render problem

    Posted by Tamanegi65 on October 18, 2006 at 9:15 pm

    I have a AE 6.5 project that is pretty 3D heavy with lots of 3D layers and a 3D camera. In one area of it I have a photo w/ alpha on a 3D layer, and a short distance behind it I have another layer for the shadows in the photo.

    Anyway – these two layers are close to each other in 3D space. Its always rendered fine in 6.5, but now rendering in 7.0 these two layers keep flipping back and forth – ONLY AT RENDER TIME. A RAM preview is fine. So the effect in the final render is the back layer randomly popping in front of the layer in front of it.

    Anyone seen this or know how to fix?

    Try moving one of the 3D layers a little further to the camera in z-space so the layers are not so close. 10 pixels seems to work for me…

    Might check in your comp settings (advanced) to make sure your are using the Advanced 3D renderer. If set to Standard you would experience what you are talking about. If you need to make sure you have no interaction between 2 3D layers, you can also separate them with any 2D layer (or a 2D null) which will break their interaction.
