  • Strange problem with a 3d layer?

    Posted by Josh J. johnson on February 9, 2007 at 8:15 pm

    I created some 3d text in proanimator brought it into ae and made a mask with fractal noise for a smoke effect everything was fine until I switched the 3d layer off to lessen spacebar render. I then turned the 3d layer back on but everything was pretty much black and my layer wasn’t 3d? I’m thinking it has to be something to do with my mask I made? Any help would be great.

    Sorry for the confusion I used proanimator on a separate layer since it is already 3d and I didn’t turn on the 3d switch. My 3d layer is my “floor solid” but it was working just fine until I turned off the 3d switch for the floor solid while working with a separate mask layer. When I went to turn the 3d layer back on it was black? I guess I should have never turned off the 3d switch on my floor solid when working on my mask? Seems strange hope that made more sense? Thank you for your help David.

    I’VE RAN INTO THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. iT SEEMS THAT WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE 3D ATTRIBUTE AND THEN TURN IT BACK (sorry Caps lock on) to make it 3d again the settings will reset themselves. You will have to reposition the layer again to where you want it.
