  • rotating a cube in AE…why the gaps?

    Posted by Muuray Davos on May 18, 2008 at 5:27 pm

    Hello people,

    I am rotating a cube in AE. Although all of the sides are in the correct places, there still appears to be a tiny gap where the planes are meeting.

    anyone have any ideas why this might be? thanks in advance

    Are the pixel aspect ratios of the comp and the layers the same? Like a D1/DV NTSC (0.9) comp and layers with square pixels. That can make for mismatches.

    Also, there might be less than one pixel gaps that become apparent upon rotation.

    Here is a link to a script that makes cubes from your own layers or solids, very spiffy. It’s worth a try. Just keep those pixel aspect ratios the same for the layers and the comp.

    This script gives me seamless cubes, amazingly.
