    So, I have a 3d composition with shadows being cast and everything is working well. But when I introduce a 2d text layer the shadows disappear. Do 2d layers really have the ability to disarm shadows? Along those lines, with some pre-comped layers you can’t collapse transformations and keep shadows. Why are shadows like that? It hurts me.

    2D layers that are between 3D layers “break” the 3D effect. Move the 2D layer so it is above or below the 3D layers, not in between.
