    Problem with lightning using 2 layers.

    Posted by Robin Lund on February 18, 2010 at 11:45 am

    Hi!
    Im doing some experimenting with 3D in AE. Im new so this is the first time Im trying this. Anyway, Ive made an “L-shape” using 2 planes/layers. When I add an spotlight it looks wrong though. Its like the 2 layers dont know eachother excist, and the lightning affect the layers separately.

    Here is a picture of how it looks. As you can see it looks very weird with the lightning/shadow.

    How can I solve this? Thanks in advance.

    Precompose the layers, then add the light.
