Pre-comping Auto Orient 3D layers
I basically have a comp with several 3D layers all auto oriented toward camera – my problem is that when I pre-comp these layers and rasterize the comp the layers no longer auto orient toward my camera… (which they should)
i went through and pre-comped less layers than needed to single out layers several times and it still does it
there are no 2D layers in between 3D layers
I have a null as one of the layers but nothing is attached to it
within the pre-comp auto orient is still on.
my camera is controlled by an “x” null and a “y” null both in 3DAny info would be great – deadline looming

Is the camera in the PreComp? Or is it in the Comp the PreComp is in?

Its in the Comp that the pre-comp is in. I’d rather not put the camera in the pre-comp because I need to time remap the pre-comp and don’t want to time remap the camera.

Well, the layers in the PreComp have no camera to Auto-Orientate to because the camera is not in that Comp. Why are you PreComping the layers? Can you render the comp before PreComping and use the rendered file in the next Comp?

“You can auto-orient this 3D precomp to the camera in the main comp, but it will affect all layers in the precomp, and they will orient as a 3D object would.”
It only lists “Along a Path” or “OFF” on the rasterized layer. The reason why I want to pre-comp is so I can timeremap the animation within these 3D layers. If I copy the camera info into the pre-comp but still select rasterize in the main comp, will it ignore the camera info in the pre-comp but keep the correct auto orient if I time remap the raster layer?
I think it works!!!
thanks!! -
